cheering. After this the throng OF strikers
marched to Clark and Taylor streets. Here
they formed in line four abreast. Great
crowds turned out to see the sight and
cheered them as they marched through
the streets toward the Michigan Cen

their way the streets became filled with
sight.ssers, but nothing approaching dis
order Was apparent. IL took hut few
moments for the Michigan Central men 10
quit work. Almost before the strikers
reached the freight house the men CON-
meneed to put on their coats. As each sd-

thusissm increased.
