mOred that an attempt will be made to start
the plate mill on Monday next. Should
this be done, it's probable that trouble will
enSue. Pay day is next week, Wednesday,
when an outbreak is feared. The disposal
OF the police force and military organiZa-
tons remained the same as yesterday,
though the buses have been removed
from the Central station. There is a gem
eral feeling that all immediate dangeris over.
No meetings of the strikers were held to-
day. 1t was reported at noon that meet
ing would be held in the Eighteenth ward.
Immediately ITO policemen were driven to
the station in that precinct. Chief Schmitt
was in charge. He went prepared TO arrest
every man who acted in diSOrderly man
ner or appeared on the street armed with a
club. The strikers heard of the plan and
refused to cOngTegate. They stood
about the corners, however, and four of
their number were arrested. They were John
Fawlak, 20 years old, Polish; Martin Hoff-
man, IS years old, German, unable to read;
Frank Stutska, alias Butcher. 81 years old,
Polish and Paul DOllInan, 81 years old,
Polish, unable to read. Later a reporter
named Felix Rosenberg recognized Thomas
BeZdek, a Bohemian 22 years old, who led
the mob at the time the screw works We're
raided. Rosenberg was also a spe-
cial policeman, and took BeZdek into
custody. A huge dirk was found
on BeZdek's person. All the prisoners were
brought to the city tonight and locked up.
4 Polish priest appeared soon after and
gave bail for the three Poles. A meeting
was to be held tonight at the Peach Or
chard, but was postponed on account of
the warlike condition of the police. 1t is
thought that there will not be any more
trouble, as the Poles and Bohemians are
thoroughly frightened.
AT EAST SAGINAW.
EAST SAGINAW, Mich, July 1O.-The
advance guard of the striking mill EN-
ployes, $50 strong, arrived here this morn
ing at IL o'clock and paraded the streets,
escorted by 200 stevedoreS and a band. The
men were very orderly. All of the mills OH
this end of the river were running this
morning, but will shut down as soon as
their employees intimate desire to quit.
The TitabOwasse Boom company will be
forced in any event to shut down tO-mor-
row, as the mills at the lower end of the
river are stopped, and those left here will
probably close. The company will be una
bic 10 take care of the logs. This will
throw 500 boom employees out of work. At
1:30 o'clock in the afternoon a procession
of 1000 strikers, escorted by two bands of
music, marched through the streets, crossed
the river, and commenced shutting down
the mills on the west side. No acts of VIC
lence were reported. The great majority
of the mill employees at this end of the river
are opposed to the strike and would con-
tinue at work If left alone. The mayor of
Saginaw City, East Saginaw, and the sher-
III of the county have issued an order clos
ing all saloons and cautiOning the strikers
against any acts of violence.
All the mills south of the north city
limits of East Saginaw and East Saginaw
City were visited by the strikers this after
noon and forced to shut down. At Ber-
nard's mill the foreman was knocked down
and roughly handled. but the authorities not
interfering no arrests were made. No
other accounts of violence were made. Mill
employees here do not Sympathize with the
movement, and would have continued work
almost without exception were they allowed
TO do so. In some instances they refused
to quit work, and were picked up and forci-
bly, driven out of the mills. Many of the
strikers were armed with clubs, but there
was, with the exception of the case noted,
no occasion to use them. Three or four
mills not yet reached will be visited in the
morning. Manufacturers say that they will
remain shut down six weeks rather than
accede to the demands of the strikers.
AT BAY CITY.
BAY CITY, Mich, July 10--There was
no excitement here to-day. This morning
600 men went to East Saginaw on barges to
inaugurate the strike there. 1t is generally
expected that the meeting tomorrow be-
tween the mill owners and the strikers
committee will settle matters amicably. 1t
