Penn mining situation sullen and quiet in region
Western Pennsylvania mining towns remained sullen yet quiet as 600 miners reportedly joined the strike. Allegheny county officials pledged firm action against aliens in strike unrest while West Virginia fields stayed calm. Sheriff Cain said most agitation stems from aliens and would hand over arrested protesters to federal authorities. An injunction case linked the National Miners Union to the Red International of Labor Unions, and economist Rashenbush warned charity to farmers and grocers would end as starvation looms.
