first time since the inauguration of
the strike the employees of the Press

effort on the part of strikers to or
ganize themselves. A fund was raised
sufficient to conduct the strike for
months.
While violence has been abandoned
to degree by the striking employees
of the company. the situation of con-
fronting the authorities at McKees
Rocks tonight was serious. A tense
under current of unrest was apparent
and, with quantities of liquor hidden
about the strikers headquarters and
the uncertainty in temper of the
strikers and their sympathizers,
trouble was apprehended before day
break.
Today's demonstration against the
authorities and cOnstaDulary is an in,
dication of feelings of the striking
men. Everywhere the mounted state
police were in evidence, a mob is
assembling from nowhere. Wives and
women sympathizers of the striking
men, with babies on one arm and
bricks and Stag in the free hand, re-
sisted attempts of the authorities to
enter their homes In search of strike
leaders,.
