Riot at Sterling silk mill threatens nonunion workers
A second riot at the Sterling silk mill in Pittston Pa escalates as strikers surround the plant armed with stones. Nonunion workers retreat to a nearby Italian settlement as clashes continue and a vigilance committee vows swift punishment for captured assailants. Separate reports from Riparia Washington recount a bold yard hold-up near the depot with a wounded man and a later robbery of eight men nearby, prompting a local vigilante response.
