of the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
mounted a car and addressed the crowd.

handlers to join the union preparatory
to forming an assembly of knights Of

cheering. After this the crowd Of strIk-

and there formed in line, four
abreast. Great crowds turned

and the cheering men marched through
the streets toward the Michigan Central
freight house. As they pursued their

the strike. About this time police pro.
