Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PENDLETON, Ind, Nov. 19.-The Pendle-
ton window-glass factory is tied up with a
strike five days after it resumed operations.
AL the old employees went to work, includ-
ing f1atteners and cdtters, at the Burns
wage scale this week and things moved
along smoothly until to-day when, as the
blowers and gatherers had helpers, the fiat
teners and cutters concluded they wanted
helpers also. Accordingly, some cutters and
datteners from the Indiana window-glass
force. factory located here and in the
combine, came over to help those of their
own trade. AS soon as the blowers and gath
Srers learned this they gathered their tools
and walked out. President Burns has been
notified of the trouble and he is expected
here tomorrow. The truth is that when the
Pendieton window-glaSs plant resumed,
both of the contesting trades were -ecog-
nized in fixing the scale, and while the cut
tiers and f1attenerS were put to work ac-
cording to their demands, so were the blow
ers and gatherers, making two scales in
reality. Every one was satisfied until the
cutters from another concern not recognized
in the articles were given temporary en-
ployment by their fellows of the same trade.
It is not believed the plant will remain idle
any length Of time.

one black and crazed by drink, the other
white and conscious of deadly peril, engaged
in a life and death struggle in the cab of

negro and the marvellous escape from the
same fate of the white man. When train
No. 25 south-bound left here last night at
1915 o'clock Engineer Z. P. Bishop and
Fireman Wylie Craig, colored occupied the
locomotive cab. When two miles from the
city Bishop told the fireman to stir up the
fire The negro paid no attention to the or
der and it was repeated. This time he ut
tered an oath and, springing from his seat,
drew a revolver and without warning fired
a shot point blank at the engineer. The
bullet missed him and the engineer struck
the revolver from the negroes hand just as
the latter was about to tire a second snot.
Craig, now craZed with rage, instantly drew
a knife and, grasping the engineer by the
shoulder, pulled him from the box and cut
him in a dozen places across the preaSt.
Mr.. Bishop had pistol in his hip pocket,
but he was held for time in such posi-

after a desperate struggle, during which the
two men rolled over and over on the floor
of the cab, Bishop managed to draw his
pistol and fire. The bullet struck the negro
in the breast and penetrated his heart.
without a groan he fell back In the dark
ness to the ground The train at that time
was near Oxmoor. There it was halted by
the wounded engineer, who told the crew
of his thrilling encounter. Bishop says his
watch chain alone saved him from fataI

his knife with the savagery of demon.
