more concise resolution, which was

TTER|NGS Of
FOREIGN MINERS.
Say There Will be More Work
Shortly for the BLACK
CoSsacks.."
BITTER OVER ACTION OF POLICE
Heavily Armed Men Guard Every
Entrance to Coliieries-Stock of
Arms Exhausted in Local Stores.

Pottsville, Pa, May 9.-"There will
De more work for the Black Cossacks'
before we get through. We might as
well be clubbed and shot as starved
to death. It's quicker, anyway"
This was the burden of mutterings
of hundreds of foreign miners who
gathered in the big boarding houses
and mountain shacks in Minersville
today. They are bitter as the result
of yesterdays shooting and clubbing
by the state constabulary and continue
to mutter threats of vengeance. The
death during the night of Nj
chael Mullange, one OF the victims of
yesterdays riot and the report that
David Davis, the innocent bystander'
also shot, is in dying coalition, ad-
ded to the bitter feeling against the
black uniformed constabulry. Steve
Milanko, the third of the men wound
ed, was reported recovering.
Every road leading to the collieries
was patroled today by heavily armed
details of the state police They rode
in pairs as it was considered certain
they would be attacked during the day
but the foreigners remained indoors
The disquiering feature Of the de-
velopments here is the report of the
hardware dealers both here and Min
ersville that their stock OF revolvers,
automatcs and ammunition have been
exhausted during the last few days
These weapons are believed to have
fallen into the hands of LithuianaEs
who are swearing vengeance for yes
rerday's shooting.
The state police on duty in Miners
vile have been refused board for
themselves and their horses and are
living out of their forage bags.
Shamokin, Pa, May 9.-Because Of
the temper of the idle miners and the
antagonism aroused through the a.
ivities of the state constabulary, the
local managers of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company
today sent 200 OF the repair men home
and ordered all work excepting that
absolutely necessary stopped. There
was a precautionary following the re-
ports that the foreign element am
ong the miners had planned attacks on
the mine forces if work, even though
it was necessary repair operations
sanctioned by the union, was continued.
The conmany hopes that at the Wllks
barre convention next week the agree
ment recently turned down by the min
ers committee in New York will be
ratified and is seeking in every pos
sible way to concilate the mine en-
ployees.
Mount Carmel, Pa, May 9.-Charg-
ed with leading a party of foreigners
in an attack on the repairmen OF the
Lehigh Valley Coal and Iron Company
John Goolich was arrested at Cen
tralia today by mine police. He
fought desperately against his arrest
and had to be dubbed into submission.
The arrest has caused much bitter
feeling among Gooirich's friends and
further trouble is expected.
Locust Gap. Pa, May 9.-Unldentl-
fed men, believed to be sympathizers
with the striking anthracite miners
tried to wreck a Reading coal train
between Locust Gap and Buck Noun
tain early today. They drove a boil
into frog on the main track, but the
train passed over it safely.

WILL NOTtBE MADE TO LABOR
According to Prisoner and His Fol-
lowers, Free Speech in England
Hinged Upon Results of Trial.

Manchester, Eng, May 9.-Tom
Mann, most militant of England's
labor leaders, was found guilty in the
criminal court here today of melting
troops to mutiny. He was immediate
ly sentenced to serve six months in
Jail. Mann's defense was urging
regular troops called for duty in tic
recent coal strike to refuse to shoot
strikers or their sympathizers,
Few criminal trials in recent years
have attracted as much attention in
England as that Of Tom Mann, the
noted labor leader and Socialist, which
began here today. On the result of
hinges freedom Of speech in the Uni
ted Kingdom, according to Mann and
his followers The trial is the direct
outcome of the recent paralyzing coal
strike. Mann, in a bitter speech here
denOumcing the contemplated action Of
the government to break the strike
by means of soldiers, appealed to the
troops not to obey orders. He called
attention to the fact that if they shot
down the strikers and their sympathi-
zerS they would he shooting their own
near relatives and his speech made
such an impression that general un-
rest was reported among the soldiers
~ prp,hor of ,,iSnpc
Mann was arrested charged with in
citing to mutiny. For several days
he was held in communide and all ef-
forts to get his, release on bail was
frustrated. Finally. after he had
signed an agreement to refrain from
urging the troops to take any decided
attitude in connection with the strike
he was released on bail.
When the trial opened today the
crowned prosecutor produced hume
rous articles written by Mann discuss
ing the coal strike One on which
particular emphasis was placed, dis
cusscd the manner in which recruits
for the army were obtained, cited fly
ures to show that they came from the
working class almost entirely and
were ofiicered by sons of wealthy
families and membes of the nobility
and wound up by declaring that any
soldier who shot a striker Of 4 strike
sympathizer simply murdered one OF
his own family"
Mann objected to the introduction Of
of much of the evidence and also to
reports Of his speeches. He conduct
ed his own defense in mastery man
ner. but most of the rulings of the
court were against him.
In his own defense Mann admitted
his guilt, but attempted justification,
citing conditions that existed at the
time. He argued, however that his
words must not be construed as ask
ino the soldiers to disobey and law
full commands.
"The commands of the officers to
the soldiers" said Mann, must be
lawful and order to shoot, and shoot
to kill brother Englishmen would be
q violation of the rights guaranteed
all citizens. | ask no mercy from this
court, but | claim the rights any man
or citizen working for reforms should
he granted. All ! have tried to do in
NV work has been to benefit the work
ing class and reform crying evils
