Bad Faith of tho strikers.

EAST ST. LOUIS April While arrange
ments were being made at the railway depot for
this meeting, far different scene was being en-
acted upon one of the ferry wharves. A st.
Louis coal dealer, relying upon the promise of
coal blockade would not be interfered with had
sent a number of men with their teams to trans
fer fuel from this side of the river. Several
strikers, however. made an attack upon the men
to prevent them from loading the wagons. The
teamsters resisted and a general fight ensued.
Knives were drawn, and it looked as if serious
results would follow, but at the appearance of
several United States deputy marshals the
strikers fed without having received or inflicted
any very severe injury. The teamsters returned
to St Louis without coal, fearing further vio-
lence from the strikers.
