CLUBS, BRICKS AND STAG USED
IN LABOR FIGHT AT MIXES
ROCKS, PA
STATE GUARDS ARE CALLED OUT
surprise Strike" Starts Without APP
parent Reason on Preparation on
Either Side-Strikers Not
Members of Union.

Pittsburg, Pa-Six wounded. two
fatally and fifteen seriously injured
| by flying bricks, iron Stag and clubs
sums up the result of the first days
surprise strike" by the men en-
ployed in the Pressed Steel Car Co. S
plant at McKees Rock.
The strike starting shortly before
noon Tuesday came without much ap.
parent reason or preparation on either
side. The striking men composing for
the greater part the foreign element
OF Mckees Rocks, claim that since a
pooling system of pay has been intro
duced they have been receiving less
pay for the same number of hours
they worked previous to the change
On the other hand the Pressed Steel
Car company claim they are paying
higher wages than before the pool
wage system was in effect and are
willing to open their books for public
inspection to prove their assertions
The men employed by the Pressed
Steel Car company are not members
of any particular union or organiza-
tion and their strike does not in any
way effect the union organizations
here.
With the arrival of two hundred
men of the state constabulary and the
additional force of deputies now on
the ground the authorities believe
they have the situation we'll in hand
and are able to cope with any
emergency.
The company attempted to bring
number of strike breakers by steamer
to the works, but the rioters lined
the banks of the river armed with
bricks, Stag and revolvers.
Their fusillade was returned by
shcriffs en- the beat. but the landing
of the men was prevented by the riot
ers. Several guards attempted to leave
the plant for near by restaurant
but were set upon by strikers and
compelled 10 beat hasty retrest.
Shots are heard al frequent intervals
and number have been injured but
not seriously.

Thaw Defended by His Mother.

White Plains, N. Y.-The prosecu-
tors of her son are criticised and in
sanity experts scored in a 20-page
booklet. which Mrs Mary Copley
Thaw, mother of Harry X. Thaw, is
sued here Wednesday, 1t bears the
title of The Secret Unveiled" and
besides giving a resume of the various
court proceedings in which Harry
Thaw has been involved, alleges the
existence of a "cowardly combina-
tion" against her son and the taking
OF unusually oppressive measures In
his case. His sanity at the present
time is strongly asserted. Mrs. Thaw
says she realizes she has rendered
herself subject to criticism by writ
ing the book. But exceptional con-
ditions,1 she declares. demand ex-
ceptional treatment. and the fact that
District Attorney Jerome has on four
occasions left the quite sufficient re-
sponsibility of his own district to pur-
sue this case into district within
which. as he himself acknowledges,
he has no jurisdiction, compe's this
unusual procedure on my part"

the storm whipped over the ietty into

from the rocky promenteries into the
gulf. Boats are searching the bay

employees of the place and visitors at
the resort. 1t Is impossible to get an
accurate list of the dead owing to the
fact that the register has always been

son of a book dealer, was also among
the guests. This report could not be
confirmed, however Friends in Gal

the people on the pier might have Sc

ELLA GlNGIES PLANS TO REPEAT
HER TESTIMONY ABOUT ABUSE
TO THE GRAND JURY.
STORY IS HELD TO Be UNTRUE
Jury Compromises on AcquittaI by Ex
onerating Miss Barrette From
Charges-Perjury Not
Determined.

Chicago .Illinois.-Freed by a jury
of charges of stealing lace, but her
story of attempts to make her a
white slave denounced as untrue,
Ella Gingles, the pretty Irish lace
maker, plans to repeat to the grand
jury the remarkable tale of alleged
experiences she told on the witness
stand
The basis of the defense made by
the Gingles girl, who was on trial for
stealing lace from Miss Agnes Bar
rette, was that Miss Barrette and 9th
ers had attacked her and mistreated
her in the Wellington hotel on two
occasions last winter, and that the OBJ
ject of these attacks and the animus
tempt to sell her to an unnamed man
in French Lick Springs, Ind.
Advises Her to Go Back to ireland.
The jury reached verdict after
nearly seven hours duration, compro-
missing on acquittal by generating
Miss Barrette.
Miss Gingles walked up to the ju-
rors and shook hands with them.
Juror Thomas Maekey, the oldest man
on the panel turned to the girl and
said
Now be a good girl, Ella. Go back
to your home in Ireland and be
good girl"
The girl nodded her head and
turned away.
What are you going to do now?"
she was asked as she was leaving the
court room.
Il am going to tell it to the grand
jury" she answered quickly.
Perjury Case Not Determined.
When she was asked what she was
going to tell, and reminded of the fact
that the jury had said that it did not
believe her story, she appeared a lit
tie discounted Before she talk any
more her attorney and the women
hurried her away
1t was announced by Assistant
States Attorney Furthmann that the
question of whether indictments for
perjury would be asked against Miss
Gingles would be taken up.
