 Cincinnati. Nov. Exchanged with various degrees of lawlessness in con- nection with the strike of union mold CTS of Cincinnati. covington and New port, Ky, half dozen men are under arrest tonight and others are under surveillance. Those in custody are William Patton, alias Friend, charged with murder; Eugene Trainer, charged with murder; Thomas Bracken, charg- ed with murder; Fred Rauhausen, jr., charged with malicious destruction of property; Fred Rauhauser, ST., and John Hook, charged with aiding and abetting the destruction of property. l A warrant was issued to-day for Joseph F. Valentine, president of the Iron Molders' union of North America, but as he is out of the city, the service could not be made on him. Valentine 1 telegraphed from Cleveland that he would be here tomorrow. The head 1 quarters of the iron holders union are in this city, and it is claimed that President Valentine has been directing | the strike that has been in progress in I Cincinnati, Covington and Newport for several months. During that time there have been disturbances at differ ent foundries and on the streets of three cities. On October Samuel Weal1ley, a non-union molder, was killed and Frank Brown, who accom- panied Weakley, narrowly escaped from strikers who assaulted them. Dur 1 ing the past few days the situation became more threatening around the foundries and attempts were made last night to blow up two of them with dynamite, one in this city and the other in Newport, Ky No arrests have been made in Newport, although l the situation is more threatening there than at any other locality. The arrest of the father and son (Rauhauser) in ! this city, charged with dynamiting the < Eureka foundry, and their alleged con fessions duplicating others, promises sensational developments. Charles x. I Waltz secretary, and Charles F. Will I Hams, attorney for the employers as-s I sociatior of Cincinnati, and Commis- sioners Briggs and McClintock, of the I National Founders association, who l secured a large force of detectives from I Chicago, are still working on different 1 cases involved in the protracted strike :, and claim that officials of both the l international and the local unions will l be involved in charges of aiding and abetting lawlessness.
 Edward Bergen, secretary here of the I Union Molders' strike committee, de-. nies that officials of the union have 1 even countenanced lawlessness. He says they are making no defense for I Patton and denounces the reports l about plots as maliciously false.
 While there is much excitement in l the foundry districts tonight there were no reports up to late hour of further disturbances. Tn addition to the strong guards that have been i maintained for months at these places, the police of the three cities assisted materially tonight. The employees
 heretofore have complained that police l protection and assistance had not been
 accorded them in either. of the three cities.
