harmlesas measures has subjected
them to the hard censure OF many OF
the strikers, but the officials stand by
thoir determination to suffer none but
persuasive measures on the part Of the
men, and to prevent anything Ike

dislike, or objection to Master Mechanic
Morris, has u good deal 10 dc with this
strike. The mon also continue
to declare with emphasis that they cam
not live under this last cut, The water
has been let out OF all of the engines in
the yard. A slight breeze was created
this morning over the report that q gang
from Longview and Marshall would be

ing the strikers TO violence, This is
credited by but few, as the strikers here
claim TO be acting Independently and
have all the while conducted themselves
