ERIE RULED BY MODS
UNTIL TROOPS ARRIVE
General Strike Now Threat
ened, Increasing Serious
ness of Situation.

ERIE. Pa August 23-Clattering
down State sreet soon after dawn today.
two troops of the Pennsylvania con-
stabulary, under Capt. l.. G. Adams,
proved a welcome sight to the people of
Erie, who had witnessed a wild night
of rioting, in which one man was almost
killed and the city seemed filled with
fighting private detectives on one side
and striking iron molders and their SYM
pathizers on the other.
Capt Adams stationed his men in the
manufacturing and business districts to
such advantage that the streets were
carefully patroled, and strict watch was
kept for further trouble. The rioting be-
gan about midnight, when striking
molders and their friends became in
volved in street fights with strikebreak-
ers, who were guarded by private de-
tectives.
Detective Severely Beaten.
The first battle occurred at the
clearinghouse of Edward Stafer, one OF
the detectives. He had been active on
other occasions it was said, and when
his place Of abode was discovered a
mob stormed the house and almost beat
the police and taken to hospital. where
he was thought to be dying.
This spark fired the situation, and from
that hour until daybreak the fighting
continued in many localities. The small
police force was hurried to one battle
ground only to be recalled to another
where the prospect for damage to life
and property seemed even greater. Twen-
ty-five or more arrests We're made and
the men We're worn out
The authorities finally decided to appeal
to Gov. Tener, at Harrisburg, and Troops
d OF Butler and A Of Greensburg Were
ordered from barracks at once. They
were hurried here by special train.
The molderS in a number of union
plants struck last December, and the
strike has been continued with bitter
ness ever since, threats, it is alleged
having been made to burn the city.
Resent Presence Of Troops.
The. appearance of troopers whose COM
ing was unheralded was bitterly resent
ed by the union leaders, who declared
they would continue the strike. Presi-
dent George A. Cook of the central labor
union conferred with the executive COM
mittee, and at. noon the announcement
was made that strike Of all union men
in the city would be called tomorrow or
Monday, the exact hour to be decided at
meeting to be held tonight. Should
this plan be carried out it will increase
the number of idle Workmen in Erie by
approximately 1900.
Further plans for continuing the strike
will be perfected at mass meeting of
all union workmen in the city tomorrow
