STRIKERS In HAVANA.
Cartmen Refuse to Work Because the
Police Cypress Them.

HAVANA. September z0-The strike has
assumed serious proportions. 1t is now es-
timated that there are 1900 striking ma
sons, painters, carpenters, cartmen and
laundry workers, and if. as is threatened,
the hackmen, stevedores and cigar makers
strike within the next few days, there Will
be another 1900.
The cartmen went out to-day, thereby
paralyzing the wholesale business houses.
They give as reason for their action the
unfair treatment they have been receiving
at the hands OF the police, a majority be-
ing Spaniards.
Many reliable business men say that this
strike of the carmen is the only legiti-
mate strike. 1t is asserted that the police
shamefully abuse their authority over the
cartmen, endeavoring TO get them to talk
back so as to have pretext to take them
to prison and accuse them next day Of in
sulting the police.
Gen. Rafael Cardenas, chief of police.
and Mayor Lacoste deny that the police are
guilty of oppressive conduct, but the mere
fact that the cartmen went out on this
ground alone seems TO indicate that there
is more truth than fiction in their grew
ance.
Considering the large number of men now
out of employment. it is remarkable that
there are no disorders. Strikers and en-
ployers are apparently equally apathetic.
The Discussion says:
Martinez, gueri la. went TO Neuva Paz,
where he had committed many outrages.
The people attempted to lynch him and
would have done So but for the interview
ton of the police, who sent him to Havana.
Before leaving Neuya Paz ne confessed m
having committed the crimes in obedience
to superior authority and in order to serve
certain local interests. He placed in the
hands of the police documents bearing out
his statement; and these reveal the names
of many who had been heretofore regarded
as good patriots, but ar now known to be
traitors and accomplices in the infsmy per-
petrated by Martinez"

party travelled as ordinary passengers.
The train reached the station at 8:17

Viguier, VINO inquired if they could
have a private room. A waiter reply
ing in the affirmative, the brothers en-

refraining from any attempt to secure

this apparently succeeded. NJ. Viguier

turned to Nantes to catch the 1918 p.

FRANKLIN. Ind, Feb 1.-THE Frank
lin College Glee Club returned to-day from
a short tour. At Morgantown last night the
boys had an exciting experience. After the
concert they were rendered a reception by
some of the young ladies of the city, and as
several of the club were on their way from
the opera house to the place where the re-
ception was given they were attacked by
a crowd of hoodlums. The crowd was
armed with clubs, beer bottles and stones.
and before aid came several of the must
clans Jared badly. Roy Stott, son of the
president of the college, was badly cut on
the head while A. r. Upton a Terre
Haute student received a blow on the head
which rendered him unconscious for some
time and his injuries are still regarded as
serious The attack was entirely unpro-
Voked and was the result of malice. The
Morgantown boys have been badly beaten
by the college ball teams several times and
this with their jealousy over the fact that
few of them were invited to the reception
was the cause of their disgraceful attack.
The club will take steps to secure the pun
ishment of the assanants.
