srASinr Miners becoming Violent

The striking miners at lshpeming
and NegaUnee have retained the sym
yGthies of many people because they
had been quiet and orderly, but as the
strike progresses and there seems to
DC less light ahead for the strikers
they are becoming restless, and seem to
Raagine that any criticism of their
actions can only come from an enemy,
and they are very easy to offend. Fred
EEEitton, who is known as one OF the
@'SQuarest" newspaper correspondents
IN the state, was sent to lShpemlng by
The Detroit News TO write up the
strike. The men did not take kindly
10 his presence, and about midnight u
mob OF 500 surrounded the telegraph
office where he was at work and or
G1ered him TO depart. Britton refused
until the chief of police advised him
10 DO SO. He took his time about it,
however. He went TO Champlain and
afterward TO Marquette.
Many OF the strikers were armed
with clubs and cobblcstones, and had
5t not been for the urgent solicitation
of Rev. VIM. Coad, chairman of the
union, that the men rcfrained from
violence, IL is certain that an open
struggle and lynching might have
resulted. The disgraceful action of
the strikers is attributed TO the fire.

An attempt was started to mob a local
editor, but the mob thought better of

rs expressed at the act of the mob
which is regarded in the light of "a
lawlcss and cowardly conspiracy, and
a precedent that the authorities can
not ignore.
LATER -Rritton returned to lshpcm-
Ing being assured by Gov. Rich of full
protection. The city authorities and
county officials also gave their word
that he should not be again molested.
The strike leaders told Britton that
