ACQUIT MINE.GUARDS
IN WOMAN'S KILLING
COrOner's Jurors i'm Pittsburg
Give Verdict That May

PITTsBURG, Sept. ga Coroner's
Jury here to-day acquitted the mine
guards and Deputy Sheriffs Of the Allie
gheny Coal and Coke Company Of the
killing of Mrs. Fannie Snellins, United
Mine Workers organizer, in Natrona, a
month ago. The decision is likely to
have much effect on the question OF
law and order in the district.
The principal testimony against the
guards came from Mrs Mary Wacinsky.

fell to the ground"
The woman pointed out Adams In the
court room and also John Pearson. dep.
uty sheriff, who, she said. did the actual
shooting. Adams was put on the stand
and testified that he was in his office al
the time of the shooting. that he knew
nothing of 1t and that the witness had
made n mistake in choosing him in the
court room.
Pearson admitted that he had fired to-
ward a group of strikers IN which were
the two victims, but said he did moi
know whether his shots had killed them
On the other hand. Deputy Sheriff

came up to the crowd they were shout

says that he ordered them TO dispense
but that Mrs. Snellins urged them to
stay there, as 1t was a public road and
they had a right TO be there.
Then. the deputy testified, the mob
began to hurl bricks and stones at the
deputies. He testified that a shot was
fired from the angle of the wall where
Mrs. Snellins was standing. He him

clared that he had never ordered his
men to shoot, but that they had to do

this view without exception:

charged them that there were conSe-
quently no innocent bystanders and tnat
every one in that crowd was guilty OF
rioting."

to be the hot sector. Somewhat OF
pitched battle occurred there at dawn
to-day, when State troopers cleared the
woods OF men who had been sniping at
loyal workers going TO the mills by a
woodland path. Though the fire from
both sides was hot, no casualties were
reported. AT Sharpsville, near by, two
company officers returning from an in
spection OF a plant they hoped to open
tonight, were fired on from ambush, but
escaped by speeding up their motor car
The testimony of Samuel Gompers be-
fore the Senate Committee to-day. was
read with widespread interest by both
sides in the strike.
A reflex Of the testimony was seen
here to-day In the modification of the
attitude of Sheriff Haddock Of Allie
gheny county toward strikers meet
ings. He announced that the order to
permit meetings in halls would stand
and that meetings In the open could be
held wherever the local authorities would
permit 1t.
A big meeting is scheduled for Home
stead on Sunday, at which the best Of
the organizers speakers will hold forth.
1t is generally admitted in Pittsburg
even among company officers that Mr..
Gompers was right in saying that union
organizers had been discharged In steel
plants wherever found. They have been
looked upon as agitators. however and
the companies in recent years have con-
sidered, and justly so, that they have
attended wN to the needs of their men
with advances OF pay when conditions
and living costs warranted II and with
welfare work of a far reaching kind. So
FAR as blacklist Is concerned, II is
also true that where one company has
engaged agitators unwittingly their status
was revealed later by the other COM
panies.
Careful investigation among the steel
workers, however lends not vestige
of support to the contention of Mr.
Gompers and Chairman Fitzpatrick that
the workers in the steel industry have
been grossly underpaid or that they have
been forced to live and work under re-
pulsive conditions.
Steel company officers made public to-
day a tabulation of the rates of Ply in
the district. 1t showed that skilled work.
ers were taking from the company $40,
$40 and even $50 a day. From this the
pay goes down to the common laborers,
whose scale averages from $3.50 to$4 80
a day. as then men work on an eight
hour basis but actuafIy ror nine, ten
and eleven hours, largely at their own
choice.

". c. L. SHOCKS
The new women voters are shocked
at the high cost of living; they know
what the trouble is. They know that
the men at the head of the great
trusts are grinding the people. Every
body knows that, even the children
know it. The Sherman antitrust law

courage to jeopardi=e his political
party and so he votes to Investigate"

OF it.
Women care for their families. They
know that it is not right for the father
to toll increasingly while the family
barely subsists. Women are saying:
'If the political parties as now consti-
tu;ed can not be divorced from beef

die" Let us get new party, one

OPPOSED TO WAR
When men open their state cam
paigns they have bands and fireworks
and sometimes a little lady falling
from a balloon with parachute--to
erthuse the voters. The new voters
demand not bands and fireworks but
lower prices and the political party
which realizes this will be the sue
cessful party of the near future.
Again, women are unalterably OPP
posed to war. They said little about
