Charged With a Breach Of The Peace = Wagon
Tampsrsd with-A Nesting Held By
the WarshOussmsn.

The strike Of the Warehousemen's
Union still continues, there being little
actual change in the situation yester-
day. Some new men were obtained In
the course of the day by the whole
salers, and one or two were persuaded
to quit by the strikers, so that honors
were pretty easy in that regard, last
night. All during the day there were
minors of another conference between
the two disputing elements, but notn-
ing definite was accomplished in this
direction. The warehousemen met In
their hall yesterday afternoon, and were
addressed by Roman Dobler, of the
Trades Assembly, and Osborne Gray, OF
the Hod Carriers Union. A committee
was appointed to wait On the wholesale
grocers, but last night representatives
of both sides said no meeting had been
held, although one was possible to-day.
A good deal Of feeling was engendered
Yesterday by two incidents. One was a
Wordy war between strikers and new
man employed by the Baers', at the
''Hemp6eld" yards, and another was
the removal of nuts, linchpins and bolts
from Neil & Ellingham's wagons, and
the filling Of the lock on their stable
with small nails, pins and rags. Thls
latter was done at noon, and the stable
door had to be forced before the teams
could be hitched up. When that was
done. it was found the vehicles had
been tampered with, and there was
more delay. A wheel came off one
wagon. 1t is due the strikers to say
they disclaim having had any hand in
this work, and it was probably done oy
boys or irresponsible sympathisers with
the strikers.
About ten o'clock yesterday morning,
while P. Bremen, q new man in the EN-
ploy Of Baer's, was at work with team
in the ''Hemp field" yards, he was visit
ed by a committee Of strikers, and be-
fore they left there was considerable
harsh language used. Bremen went be-
fore Justice Davis, on the advice OF his
firm and had three warrants issued,
charging contention with angry words
to q disturbance of the peace" Jetfer-
son Frame and Joseph McCausland, two
of the three men, were arrested. Capt.
Dovener appeared for ths defendants
and Mr.. Sommerville for the State.
Frame plead guilty, and was lined one
dollar and costs. McCausland demand"
ed trial, and the case against him was
dismissed. The third arrest had not
been made at eight o'clock last night.
During the day the strikers induced
one man to quit work at Hubbard &
Paulps. At Baer's two or three men
quit, but came back later and went to
work again.
A tour of the leading business houses
affected by the strike ELECTED the fol-
lowing information, given by members
of the firms:
Neill & Ellingham-Two teams run
ming and five men at work.
NJ. Reilly-Three teams going, and
all orders being filed.
Hubbard & Paull-We filed thirty or
forty orders Thursday and fifty or sixty
to-day. We are getting along all right.
Neill e. Ellingham-We are doing
better than yesterday, despite the tam
pering with our stable and wagons.
Henry Baer-We are getting al)ng
all right, except the trouble at the
"Hempfeld" yards.
Joseph Speidel-We have still room
for some men.
Last night one or two of the firms ap-
piled to police headquarters for officers
to guard their stables.
The strikers claim that the firms
made no progress during the day, while
their position had been materially
strengthened.
Both sides say they are willing to
have another conference.
Many of the new men were unmerci-
fully guyed during the day, by sympa-
thizers with the strikers.
