July 22.-Yesterday seemed unusually quiet
in the city, and nothing occurred to remind
the citizens that strike was on. II was the
lull before the storm, and by o'clock this
morning a mob OF two hundred strikers
started over the scenes Of their former tri-
umphs This was contrary to the Judgment
of the contractors, who fattered themselves
that the strike would end this morning by
the men returning to work. The Third street
work was first visited and a handful of men
compelled to quit work. A small force had
gone to work in the pit on Banks ave-
nue. and this work was carried in turn. TAX
ing a circuitous route, the strikers reached
the corner Of Belknap and Tower avenue

thorities, which was directed principally to
the safety of the men employed az

strikers routed the men employed
by the land company upon It's opera house.
