in the sandstone overlying the lignite
there is issuing a constant stream of
heated air. carbon dioxide, sulphurous
oxide and vapor. The solfataric ac
tion may be attributed to the oxi
dation of shales In the presence of wa
ter. From tills point eastward is, a se

STRIKERS UTMOST CONTEMPT
FOR DEPUTIES AND IRON PO
LICEMAN-TROUBLE AT SLIGHT
EST PROVOCATION.
Wilkesbane, Pa., June 7 —The snoot
ing affray at the Stanton colliery at
South Wilkesbane last night in which
a 13-year-old boy was seriously wound
ed by coal and iron policemen, has
stirred up this community more than
any other happening since the coal
strike begun nearly four weeks ago.
There is an ugly feeling among thou
sands of idle. The strikers have the
utmost contempt for the deputies and
iron police, and trouble can be started
at the least provocation. The condi
tion of the hoy remains critical.
The police were fortunate in getting
the four men who are accused Of doing
the shooting safely away from the eol
liery. A crowd of several thousand
persons remained in the vicinity for
hours after the shooting, not aware
that the men had been quietly taken
from the place. There was also a
throng at the police station at mid
night waiting for the prisoners, but the
men were hustled into the station so
quickly that the crowd could not get
the men. At 8 o’clock today another
coal and iron policeman waß arrested
for coming out of the Stanton colliery
and flourishing a revolver in a threat
ening manner.
Sheriff Jacolis, of this county had a
particularly busy time last night. He
was called upon by several of the com
panies to protect their property. Men
were sent to some localities where
trouble was looked for prepared to
read the riot act, but this was not
done.
The coal operators hereabouts de
plore last night's occurrence, but they
(eel that the coal and iron police can
not be held responsible lor what may
take place. There have been many at
tempts made at arson. Hundreds of
yards of fencing surrounding collieries
have been burned by boys and young
men. The coal companies’ officials
hold the mine workers responsible for
all the disturbances. They argue that
if the strikers wish to keep the peace
they should prevent their sons from
starting trouble.
The hearing of the accused police
men has been postponed until this af
ternoon. A small crowd surrounded
the police station all morning. Extra
policemen have been deputized to keep
the peace.
There was no change this morning
so far* as the strike of engineers, fire
men and pumpmen is concerned. Presi
dent Mitchell had nothing to give out.
The sheriff called on President
Mitchell today for the purpose of en
listing the aid of the national strike
leader in preventing any further overt
acts upon the part of the Idle men
and hoys. Mr. Mitchell assured tha
sheriff that he would do all in his pow
er to have the men keep the peaco
and that the striking miners would be
asked toJielp guard the company prop
erty from destruction.
