Strife at Foster coal mine ends in murder
At Foster coal mines near Dorn a clash between union and non union miners left Walker Thompson dead and Emanuel Tate seriously wounded. Two Polish prisoners, John Foster and Louie Randall, are in jail as the suspected shooters after a night of violence triggered by a failed union wage dispute. A colored woman arrived to join her guard husband and was present during the shootings. Thompson died while escorting her. Tate was shot during an attempt to take her from a striker housing. The injured man is hospitalized in Pittsburgh. The woman is to identify the suspects today.
