.ween the striking employees of the United
Electric Light and Power Company ard
the company which had apparently been
settled. broke out again yesterday. and a
continuation OF the strike seems probable.
Twenty linemen who had returned TO
work Tor the company went out again, and
the indications are that the rest of the
sixty-five men who have been taken back by
the company will be called out. For sew
eral weeks, or ever since the beginning of
the negotiations looking toward settle
ment. the strikers have declared that I'M
less ali The men were taken back the strike
would not be called of. On Thursday it
was made known that there were a number
of the men whom the company would not
re-employ. A meeting of the strikers was
held Thursday night and the liDemen
struck at noon yesterday. In parts of the
city last night no lamps were burning, no
tably on North and South Gay Streets and
in some parts of South Baltimore.
A number Of the Kitson lamps were VOL
unfairly lighted last night about the cen
trail portion of the city where it seemed
that the electric lights had failed to burn,
The strikers issued the following state
ment last night in explanation of their ac-
ton:
About three weeks ago the representa-
tives of the United Electric Light and
Power Company made oyertures 10 their
locked-out employees looking to a reinstate-
ment of these men and a settlement of the
difficulties between the company and the
union.
Without going into details. suffice it to
say that a representative of the company
hot Giu1nmaPy To ha
men and finally got them TO agree to go
back to work on tie specific promise that
all would be rei2staIed in their Old posi-
lions within a short period.
President Perrin had eight OF the men
who had returned to work and represent
ed the union brought before him and in
formed them that all negotiations and
promises were now TO be ignored. The bal
ance OF the men would not be employed
by the company except at the option of
the company, and the promises made to
committeeman by officials OF the company
did not go and would be ignored.
The entire proceeding of the company
was one of blacklist Jreachery. The union
has passed resolutions that Will find an
outcome in a day or so by the further
striking Of those who have returned to
work and 4 renewal of the contest between
the corporation and its employees in a
more bitter form than ever"
y meeting of the strikers will probably
be helu some time today and it is ex
pected the rest of the men Will be called
out.
President Perrin made a statement re-
garding the renewal of the strike in which
he alleged that the dynamo men which it
is wished shall be reinstated have been re-
placed by others who have been faithful to
their duties and are experienced and COM
petent- The old men, he said. left their
work without presenting any grievances.
The Locust Point stevedores held meet
ing yesterday at Eintracht Hall, Hull and
Beacon Streets. Mr.. Frank Weber, of Mil
waukee who has charge of the strike
said: Il am well pleased with the inter
est the men show in these meetings. At
present my time is occupied with investi-
eating the side o. the strikers, after which
I expect to study the other side l want it
distinctly understood that the Longshore-
mems Union is not an &anti-employer asso-
citation, as some have been pleased TO call
it. Two of the principles OF our orgauiza-
ton are conservative methods and arbitra-
ton when ii is possible. Our union en-
courages its members to assist their en-
plOyers, as well as to better their own con-
dition- This has been successfully done on
the cnain Of lakes. as well as the Pacific
Coast and we shall erdeavor to accomplish
the same results on the Atlantic Coast
Paul Schubert, president of the local
branch. said the strikers still maintain
their courage and will fight to a finish
There is a feeling among the men, he
continued, that they must win this strike
or die. If they do not win it they know
that they must leave all hope behind. We
have secured employment for over 120 of
the more needy strikers, and are contfnu-
ing to secure positions for many more. In
this way can hold out indefinitely.
We are not at all worried about the
shipping agents being able to- get all the
men they want It is not the number Of
men. but the kind of men that is of i'm
portance to the shippers, and We are wait
ing with considerable interest to hear in
what condition the Cambrian Kings cargo
will be found when she arrives at Ant
werp."
Jacob Sawn, a foreman of the stevedores
who have taken the strikers places. was
assaulted while leaving his work at Locust
Point, about 10 o'clock last night where
he had been supervising the unloading of
the ship Glenmore He was just leaving

men, one of whom said: 81 am a union

men as you Both men made an attack

times and thrown In the street. The as
