men Of the various regiments on picket
duty suffered from the effects of this and
longed for warmth.
The strikers do not congregate in crowds
and the men are keeping we'll within
bounds. The consensus of opinion among
them is that a firm front and a steadfast
position on their part will win the ieht.

Halsey street, when asked for an opinion
OF the situation, said that violence was
deprecated and that they hoped to win by
force of numbers and the inexperience Of
the new men.
