Grand Rapids Strikers Weakening.

The warm reception given the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) strikers who attempted to
blow up the terminal wheel of the cable
line has apparently paralyzed the cause.
They were not expecting IL. Their evident
connection with all the disorders that have
marked the strike has alienated much of
the sympathy they at first received. The
patronage OF the street cars i increasing
and that OF the carryalls is growing less.
The strikers are beginning to quarrel
among themselves and are charging their
leaders with running the strike and putting
the funds in their pockets. The end OF the
strike is not far off.
