three weeks. Alderman Mccarthy was
instrumental in getting one for these
parts.
The police still stand guard at Geneva.
This noon Captain Baker and three pa
trolmen were there. As usual, the small
crowds which assemble content them
selves with calling the nom union weavers
"scabs," but offer no violence. So far not
a blow has been struck despite any re-
ports to the contrary, and the only per-
sons who are "tired" are the police, who
say they would like q chance TO get home,
and have a few minutes rest, again, just
to see how 1t would seem. The report
that Mr.. Uhlman was desirous OF making
a settlement and was to confer with the
strikers today was denied at the mill.
