At $50 q. m. an engine guarded by

ONE BACK TO WORK.
AL the Baltimore 6 Ohio strikers wen
buck to work at seven this morning
Non-union mon will probably be sen
out ON the road.
WILL FIGHT IT q ON THIS LINE.
It ia stated on good authority that th,
Lake Shore officials propose to make th,
present strike an absolute issue 40 t,
their right to retain their non-union msr
and also to afford them adequate pro-
lection. The failure OF the town o
Lake police to protect their propert,
against strlkers May be taken as clearl,
showing that the town cannot or vii
not afford protection, and the sheriff ant
governor in turn will be called upon fol
assistance.
