Inside the fences, armed guards in the employ of the trust patrolled their posts. The strikers aro unarmed, but if the guards attempt to drive them back or cut a way through their lines for nonunion men, there will be a fight. At Wellsvllle, the sheet mills are running today with a small force of non-union men and the strikers are maintaining a closely drawn picket line. At Mc- Keesport all kinds of rumors aro circulated that non union men will be brought to reopen the mills, and the strikers tite exercising great vigilance.The lords dismissed the appeal on the ground that the acts of wrongful and malicious conspiracy were not , undertaken to advance the interests of the workmen themselves, but solely to Injure the plaint ill*.
