HAPPENINGS IN TIE WORLD OF LABOR

No serious disturbances occurred yester-
day in connection with the Manchester
street railway strike beyond the stoning OF
cars in few instances. A large force of
police was required, however, to keep the
crowds from becoming riotous, and had it
not been for them there would probably
have been some ugly work. Most of the
disturbance has been raised by mill men
and boys, not strikers.
No cars were sent out on the Woods
Run branch as all attempts have failed.
Both the management and the strikers are
entering suits against each other on the
least provocation. Chief Dispatcher Irwin
was held in 81 900 bail for court on charge
of assault and battery, preferred by Will

riot, was held in 81, 900 bail for court.
