Bennett this evening struck At William
MeIntyre, proprietor Of the Nesss. and
called him and all union printers sons of
-. and then reached his right hand 30
his hip .pocket. at which point Stephen
O'Brien, McIntyre's attorney, seized
his hand and Editor Snowden shouldered
Mcintyre aside. separating them. Nc
Intyre then left the Ledger Office. where he
had met Mr.. Bennett to square an account
of the Meas for use of Ledger typesefters by
union printers employed by Mcintyre.
O'Brien remained with Bennett
About the middle of the week the Ners
was refused the use of the machines be-
cause OF an unsettled account between the
two papers. For two hours power was
shut of, and no type could be set.
The trouble with Mcintyre, it is
understood, was all over union printers
from his Office being allowed to
use the machines in the Ledger
Office. which employs non-union workmen
imported from Los Angeles. Mcintyre
refused emphaticaliy 10 employ non-union
printers. he agreed to pay former bull
of the Meas provided it was pre-
sented. Is he desired. to his attor-
done. The Ledger also owes the Neaes. it is
claimed, and the account was TO be
squared tonight. At any rate power was
given the machines for the use Of the
union printers, and this evening Mcintyre
called with his attorney to effect . settle
ment.
Mr.. Bennett was not disposed to allow
union printers the use of his typesetters,
Mcintyre says, but wanted non-union
men to do the work. Mcintyre refused to
have any thing to do with non-union men.
McIntyre's story, which 0'Brien corrooo-
rates, beginning at this point, is as follows:
Bennett got wild and said the union
printers were not only jeopardizing his
property but his life. said these men
were respectable, quiet citizens and would
not harm anybody. He said they we're
e. d sons of b, and also used
more abusive language. | objected on
behalf of my men, and he got wilder
still and said / was one Of them and
ag- d son of a.. / told him II he
would come outside I'd break his face. He
struck at me and reached twice TO his hip
pocket but did not see his gun. Just
then O'Brien seized his hand and held il
down, aud Editor Snowden pushed me
aside. After left understand Bennett
agreed 10 set up our type free IL We W ould
use non-union men. will not do II"
The Nescs contract with the Ledger will no.
expire until September. and Mcintyre will
bring suit for damages for breaking It. IL
will set up matter by hand nett week.
O'Brien adds that Bennett said IL Was
life and death struggle between the Ledger
and Typographical Union; that one or
the other must 20. and the union men
had combined to drive him (Bennett) out
OF town. Some Of Mr.. Benefits epithets.

items out. the shortage is very small. As

The experts say that they do not think
