THE CEOTOS Dam TRAGEDY,
New York EyenIng 80.

New York Evening Post.
The shooting OF Sergeant Douglas at
Croton Landing yesterday has prob
ably prevented a peaceful settlement
Of the labor troubles Ia Westchester
county. This strike did not seem 10
present lnsuperable difficulties as the
amount OF money involved was not
large. and IL was fair TO presume that
arbitration would have smoothed the
way 10 a good understanding and an
early resumption OF work. Very likely
the mar who fired the fatal shot did so
without concert Of action with others.
The mischief he has done, however, Is
enormous. and Is greater 20 his W side
Of the strife than 20 the opposite party,
since Il deadens public sympathy.
