GLOOM AT M'KEE'S ROCKS.
Strikers Have Lost Fight.-Eleven
Dead.-The Funeral Process
sions

Pittsburg, Aug. 24.-Gloom covered
the tlittle manufacturing village OF
McKee's Rocks like pail to-day.
Long funeral professions, pltlful III
their attempts at proper decorum,
wended their way at queer hours from
the Greek Catholic church to st.
Mary's cemetery. a small burylng
plot just outside Schoenville. Strikers
and their families crowded in the van
Of these funeral trains, dressed IN
! their tinery and bearing all air Of deep
grief. One band of eight musicians
furnished the tunes to which the
strikers tramped in dust and CRIME
to pay their last respects to the men
they look upon as martyrs to now
lost cause.
The finding, late today, Of three
more bodies Of terribl. beaten strike
sympathizers was also horrifying IN
lis ghastliness, for troopers who were
detailed to the work Of searching for
dead and wounded made little effort
to spare the feelings Of the men who
gathered about them when the bodies.
two under a pile of railroad ties, and
one under a culvert on the tracks OF
the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad,
were pulled into sight. The corpses
hardly recognizable as those OF hui
man beings, were hastily piled into a
morgue wagon and turned over to the
county officials.
Not a Pistol Shot. -.
With the burial Of the dead strlk-
ers and the finding Of the additional
bodies came a truce in hostllltles.
From. dawn to nightfall not a pistol
shot was heard. neither was an arrest
made.
! The striking men and their sympa-
thizers during the day kept quiet and
even gave up mass meeting planned
for the late afternoon: as they be-
lieved any gathering Of the workmfA
could do no good at this time. Flu
gene Y. Debs, the socialistic orator,
was in Mckee'S Rocks TO address the
strikers, but even he declared that
! words we're Of little avail now, as
the riots Of Sunday night had for once
and all placed the strikers IN the po-
sition of outcasts whose cause was all
but lost:
And on every hand tonight It Is
conceded that the strikers have lost
their fight. The Pressed Steel Car
company plant today Was in operation
with over 1000 men at work. These
men. while not all skilled or finished
workmen, turned out three steel cars
which were placed on view just out
side the car plant gates.
Martial Law Reigns.
Martial law reigned supreme III the
strike zone today. There was little
chance for disorder to have developed
effective headway. Sixty-six men
were loaded into special car from
the box car jails in the car company
plant yard and brought to Pittsburg
in the afternoon, where they were ar
raigned before a magistrate on charges
of diSorderly conduct and carrying con-
cealed weapons. The informatlons
were sworn out by State troopers. The
