West Scranton Observes Fourth Quiet. Fireworks Rise in Spotlight
In West Scranton the Fourth Eve drew its largest crowd since the strike began with children lighting balloons and fireworks. A fire alarm failure hindered firefighting readiness, while a Lafayette Street Hyde Park collision caused no injuries. Washington Hall hosted a balloon ascent by Washington Camp 178, and Loftus moved peacefully with officers after being handcuffed. Charges loom for resisting arrest and related conduct. Lance lost his club, star, and revolver during Wednesday’s struggle.
