STRIKERS OVERAWED.
NOnuniOn Shoe Workers Protected by
a Force of State Police.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass, Dec. S1.-The
presence in the city tonight of nearly the
entire force of state police together with
Chief Wade, while not az all relished by
the striking shoe men, nevertheless had a
most quieting effect on the labor situation,
and when the shoe factories closed this
afternoon not one of the workmen was es-
corted home. The large addition to the
State force, which came from Boston on the
afternoon train, created a great sensation,
but they kept well out of sight nearly all
the evening, as their presence in different
sections or about the factories was not re-
quired Chief Wade and Mayor Hoytt had
a conference this afternoon and went over
the situation very fully. The latter stated
after the conference that, in the few re-
naming days that he was the chief execu-
tive, he should not favor either side.
1t is rumored tonight that as soon as the
new board of aldermen convene next Mon
day an order will be passed requesting the
immediate withdrawal of the State force.
The 'Abor leaders all say that there was no
necessity of bringing in outside police help,
after its own anairs. There has been no
change in the attitude in either side of the
labor contest, and both seemed TO be as
fully determined as ever 1t was, however,
announced tonight that the S. II. Howe
Company factory would open either Monday
Tuesday, and the firm claim that they
will have all the necessary help.

down so as to let the men slide off into the

something strike the cage When the cage
