DEEIsoN, Tex, March 13 "A mass meeting
last night of the strikers adopted resolutions
calling for the removal OF Vice President
Hoxie, and to put man in his stead who
has little feeling for suffering humanity.
1t was declared the sense of the meeting that
the company should furnish compstent
physicians in charge of the hospitals, and
make quarterly reports of the expenditures
to a committee of employees. 1t is reported
tonight that Sheriff Douglass is raising
posse of men to come from Sherman to NOR
row to restore order and help to move
freights. A conflict is feared, as Douglass is
a brave officer. The strikers have concluded
to meet the Sheriff with brass band and
escort him the the yards and present him
the keys of the shop.
