Philadelphia, Pa, May s.-The stu
atien in the anthracite coal regions Is
believed to be growing more serious
hourly. To-day's shooting OF three
foreign speaking miners at Minersvil!e
by State troops because of an attempt
of a mine superintendent to take q

chance of recovery.
At a meeting held tonight in Miners
VILE. at which all Americans were
barred, threats were made against the
troopers, and the miners assembled say
that they are determined to prevent
work being done at any OF the collier
les In the Minersvillc section to-mor-
row. 1t is feared that II the troopers
attempt to carry out their avUwed In
tention to search the foreigners homes
for firearms tomorrow it will mean IA
day of bloodshed for Minersvine.
y riot proclamation has been Issued
by Sheriff Murphy. warning all citizens
not to assemble in crowds on the
streets or commit overt acts. There
is great excitement in Minersvill to-
night because of to-day's riotous dem
onstrations and shooting. but the
troopers say that they do not antici-
pate further trouble.
The leaders of the United Mine
V'rkers are doing all in their power
TO prevent bloodshed and are caution
ing the foreigners against making any
demonstration against the troopers.
