"PENNsY" HAS cossAck ARMY
These Men Termed Armed Strike
Breakers by John Mitchell.

WILkESBARRE, PA, April a.
During the strike of coal miners,
the men will encounter n new mill
tary force in Pcnsylvania-mmIn
hluecoats. who are the agents OF the
state.
The miners have dubbed them
"Pcnnsylvania Cossacks." There are
-four troops Of them. 80 men in each
troop. Two Of the troops arc station
cd In the hard coal region. Tho 9TH
crs are in The btuminous field at
Grccnsburg and PunNsulawney
The mounted officers OF The law are
equipped with short Euckct clubs and
Colts navy rcvolvcrs.
Nothing But Strike Breakers.
That John Mitchell is not wrong in
really State striicbrcakcrs was
shown recently during a small strike
at The Lebanon iron mines Half OF
he troop located AT Reading was has
lilly despatched 10 the scene aud IL doz.
en- arrests made. This action fright
cned the strikers and resulted in
breaking their campaign.
Each troop Of "Cossacks" has been
supplied with maps Of the territory
In which it. is located, and the map
in possession of Troop b, stationed
here. has marked upon 1t very plainly
every collicry from Scranton to Nan,

The mounted police is a picked
body OF men, and ont of the 200 com
posing the force Is per cont have
seen service IN the regular army
while the remainder have served in
the National Guard.
Operators Depend Upon Them
In the last strike thc mine officials
pressed into a force large number
of strke-brcakcrs. under the glise oil
coal and iron police. President Nit
chcl charged that these men were
hoodlums picked up in tho sIums OF
large Eastern cities.
While they were supposed to guard
the mine property, their business
was to provoke violence, which they
did successfully in many Instances
Most of the far-lcralded "rioting" oil
the last strike was induced by those
men, the press agents for the opera
tors sending broadcast over the coun
Try cxaggerating reports Of violence
and anarchy.
These reports finally caused suffi
cient public sentiment. against tho
strikers to warrant Governor Stone
in calling out 10000. military troops
and the operators gave ont statements
that the strike would he broken In
two weeks. The strikers, however
refused to be awed by the display Of
arms.
