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.

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.
