SLAIN STRIKERS INTERRED

Peonage Charges Against Pressed Steel Car Co. to be Investigated. Schoenvllle, Pa., Aug. 24. —Today was held the funeral for the Pressed Steel Car strikers who were victims of Sunday night's rioting. The strikers’ bodies rested in state at the Polish Catholic cathedral in McKee’s Rocks. Then headed by the strikers and their sympathizers, the cortege moved to the little cemetery Just outside of Schoenvllle. If an investigation of the allegations made shows that prosecution is warranted, new suits will be drawn making separate charges of peonage against President Hoffstot, Foreman Cohen and the Pressed Steel Car company, as a corporation.
