OUTBREAK OF VIOLENCE.
COAL MINE STRIKERS ARRESTED NEW YORK, Sept. 26. A message from Columbus, Ohio, states that the National Guard and troops patrolled nearby coalfields following an outbreak of violence between the striking miners and the mine owners that resulted in the death of two persons. An 18-year-old boy was killed while seeking refuge in his home during an exchange of shots. Earlier a striker was killed by a worker during an argument. / The strike has been under way for over seven months, and has been marked by sporadic violence. Tho present difficulty is that the mine owners refuse to obey the truce negotiated by the Government which resulted in the premature removal of troops recently when the union ratified it.
At Springfield, Illinois, twenty-five coal mine strikers were arrested as a result of yesterday’s fatal riot. They were released on bond. They are being heavily guarded from possible retaliation by miners who gathered before the courthouse during the hearing. They allege that the trouble was fomented by Communist agitators.
