of affairs. Deputy Marshal Charles
Sweeney at Hauser junction states that
there are over 400 Industrials between
that place and Hope. He is afraid that it
will be impossible to keep them from
taking possession of trains. Two hum
dred of them are at Sand Point and about
fifty others are being transported across
Lake Pond d'Oreille. Over 300 more In
dustrials from Spokane, Wash, broke
camp yesterday, and at P. NJ. to-
day were at the Idaho line all ready
