BRIDGEPORT, o., June 1s.-A
sharp fight t9ok place on the Pow
haitian, o., Pursglove mine picket
line this morning, and the scabs
were beaten. Five strikers were ar
rested and will be rfamed either
for the fight or because two houses
were recently dynamited here.
CAMBRIDGE, o., June 16.--
When the Henrietta mine tried to
reopen with scabs here few
days ago, 500 miners came not to
picket. The deputies were afraid
to attack such a militant mass,
and called in the United Mine
Workers officials to break up the
picketing. All officials here of the
UMWA were deputized, and put on
the payroll of the coal operators.
The UMWA deputies then decreed
that only they would picket, and
that any other miner who tried TO
picket would be arrested, and be-
sides, would be expelled from the
UMWA local. 81
