lIOLH as O Ast  political feud of several years standing that had famed anew during the present campaign.
 About 800 democrats left the hall where there had held a rally and marched, singing and shout- ing, toward the main street. When they reached the street intersection where the Bruno home stands, hid- den machine guns suddenly open- ed fire from each side of the street. There were two bursts of fire from one side; one from the other.
 Suddenly the village street was filtered with the dead and wound ed and the survivors were fleeing pell-mell for their lives.
 Two of the wounded were be- lieved certain to die. Four others were in critical condition. The others will recovery. Four of the wounded were women.
 The dead: John Fiorelii, 65; William Forke, 32; John Golski.
 Picked Up Their Dead
 A few minutes after the shooting turned and picked up the dead and WouAuCos anu PotkCC raced from Hazleton. Police found a large crowd circled the Bruno house. threatening violence. After a short struggle, the crowd was driven back. In the house. police found rifles, shotguns, and pistols.
 Included among the arrested Brunus were Joseph's brothers. Frederick and Phillip. None of nlr eka ment.
 Mike Barasefsky, at the head of the parade when it reached the Kelayres main street intersection called Bunker Hill. told his story:
 T was pushed ahead of the two men that were in line with me up that point. The first knew some one shouted from a house-top. l just had time to look up when a blaze of fire spurted from the mug gle of a machine gun. The two men who had stood beside me were riddled."
 The massacre climaxed inpumer- able clashes between the republi- can faction headed by Joseph Bruno and the democratic headed by John McAloose over a period of years.
 School Board Fight
 Last fall the democrats won a narrow victory in a school board election. The republicans appeal cd to a Schuylkill county court and obtained a decision upsetting the result. The Bruno faction organ ized the school board, but the Me- Aloose followers obtained a court injunction against it.
 When the school opened this September. the factoins began fighting over teachers appoint ments. Finally a riot partially wrecked the school building, forc- ing suspension of classes.
 The four women wounded were: Jennie McAloose. daughter or the democratic leader; Mrs Charles Caloneri, Mrs Mary Devorac, and Irene Candor. They were shot either in the arms or legs.
