The Cleveland Leader, speaking editorlally Of
the recent cutting ARRAY among the Italian labor
ers on the Northern Connotton, says:
"our dispatches inform us that an Italian,
working on the Connotton Northern road, was
fatally stabbed by his fellows for refusing to play
on an accordeon 1t is strange how the customs
OF nations differ Had the man persisted in play.
ing the accordeon in this vicinity the citizens
would have turned out en- masse with the light
artillery and base ball club and slew the perform
er considerably, but here was class Of people
whose nerves and organization hankered for
little accordeon, and they demonstrated cuttingly
with him for refusal. 1t is probable that this at
tempt at coercion In Stark county will result
in lynehlng" A A.st.
The fracas shows they were not in accord.
