worthy of assistance, for tie union has de-
termined that it viii not spend another
dollar to support or send back to the East
incompetent mechanics, who are brought
out by the bosses.
THIRTEEN CoMPETENTs FOUND.
Thirteen of the men examined were found
TO be competent workers and were sent
back to their homes in the East on the 3

captured by the strikers will probably be
sent home to-day.

Henry I. Scott distinguished himself on
Monday morning in an encounter with n
