Show Priests Lead Movement. There was started in the Panther Creek valley last week a movement designed de-signed to effect the withdrawal of the troops from the region and chiefly to have the cause of the miners placed in what is termed its true light before the American public. It is headed by three priests, Father Francis Brady, of Tarn-aqua; Tarn-aqua; Father 'McCannan. of Summit Hill, and Father Norton, of Coaldale. all of whom have spent years in the coal region and know the situation thoroughly.' They declare that the soldiers are unnecessary un-necessary to preserve order, and that instead of suppressing riot, they incite it. They also assert that the miners should be set in their proper light before be-fore the rublic. |
