future of the strikers, who were completely
cowcd by their presence Their timely ar
rivsl prevented bloodshed, as the special
police were becoming exasperated ut the
strikers and proposed to bring OH an issue
at once. They were fully armed and are
determined men. The strikers were also
armed, and, though reduced in numbers,
still were bound to create trouble. About
sixty of the strikers were collected near the
planning mills oftlle c. N. Nelson Lumber

which they greeted with jecrs ard howls.
The strike originated three weeks ago last
Friday. The men, led by few dissatisfied
spirits asked for ten-hour day instead of
all eleven-hour day. After some dickering
the lumber company agreed to the ten
hour day, but insisted that q majority
of the workmcn should sign tho
demand before the change would be made.
Before the necessary majority of signcrs
had been obtained some OF the men took it
for granted that they could go to work an
hour later than usual. When they arrived
at the mills they found other men
in their places. Two hundred men accord
ingly went on strike, causing the non-cm-
ploymcnt of GOO others. Since then they
have raised their demand to eleven hours
pay for ten hours work, to wl,ichthe CONF

fully intended to use violence this morning
in stopping the men from work in the plan

Of the militia. All day to-day the town
was very quiet. and County Attorney

to Provisional President Ezeta of Salvador,
and he is irritated beyond measure Ezeta
is watching the situation closely. and
may take summary action Mt any time. In
the meantime Bogran is kept busy watching
affairs i'll his own territory. Several revo-
lutions are said to he in progress in Hon
d,lras,. although Bogran clain,s that he has
routed all malcOhtcnts and tlat his cOun-
try is ut peace. Active hostilitics between
Guatemala and San Salvador have now
suspended for nearly three weeks. But the
armies of the two countries are camped
within sight Of each other ready to antici-
pntc any movement looking to a renewal Of
the warfare.
