The Molders' Pickets.
Some little excitement was brewing In
the iron-molders' district last night, and
unpleasant consequences we're feared be-
fore morning. The straws in the wind have
foretold the trouble for two or three days

tuned his men to preserve the utmost care
about giving provocation, and to keep as
far away from the possible outbreaks they
could consistent with their duties.
The circumstances are briefly these, as
told at the m0lders' headquarters last even
ing by the two pickets concerned: David
Robinson and Richard Burnett have been
staked out as pieketS on and near Main aud
Howard streets. According to instructions
they have kept continually on the move
about this locality for several days, the po
lice assuring them that they were violating
no law as long as they did not stand around
in groups in a manner to cause excite
ment or suspicion. their constant travel
to and fro past the saloon conducted by
George Rees, on the northeast corner of
those two streets, seems to have exasper-
ated that person, and they say he has threat
ened violence to them if they did not go
away and stop wearing out his sidewalk.
Strengthened, however, by the belief that
they were doing no wrong as long as NOV
ing, they have ignored Rees' threats and
kept on moving Last night they said he
went so far as to come out on the sidewalk
and reach for his hip pocket, exposing the
butt of pistol and using some very hard
language. The men say they paid no need,
but simply called on the police to protect
them. As soon as Mr., Valentine learned of
the risky phase the case was taking ON he
ordered the pickets called in for the night,

Rees has nothing to say about the matter,
except that he is tired and very much an
nuyed at having this constant pacing back
ward and forward in front of his place.
