The American Strikes.
The Idaho strikers conducted two "hundred non-Unionists away, threatening them with death if they returned.
A discussion on the Idaho strike took place in Congress. The opinion was* generally expressed that the rioters had deliberately prepared for a struggle with the authorities.
An attempt is being made to resume work with non-Unionists, but a body of 200 were charged and dispersed by the strikers. The. troops have arrested 5000 miners at Idaho, and a number of citizens whose sympathies are known to be with the strikers have also been placed in custody.
Fifteen hundred strikers, wellarmed, are entrenched in the mountains, but the troops are starving them out by preventing supplies reaching them. '
The men employed on the railway lines converging in 'Pittsburg have refused to handle materials intended for Carnegie's mills.
Mr Carnegie was hanged in effigy at Littlerock.
