 About 19 of the Italians employed by the J. H. Doolittle & Sons on the grading of the new high school site struck yesterday afternoon, as they claim that they had received no pay for the past weeks work, and some of them made threats of violence if they did not receive their money. A num- Der of the men claim that the last time there was trouble on this work Doolit- tie promised them that they would be paid every Saturday night, and now he has violated his promise and they do not intend to stand for it. Fore man of the job Sanford informed a writer this morning that some of the ringleaders of the strikers came. to him last night and told him that if he let the Polanders whom he had hired on the job go that they would come back to work. MT Sanford told them that he would do no such thing. Right af- ter the strike was declared yesterday the Italians started in to do the Po- landers up with pick handles, and in the midst of the fight one of the Po- flanders was struck over the head and had to be carried to his home. Another case of Italian jealousy was shown the day before yesterday, when one of the Italians drove a pick through the shoes of the boy who runs errands. A num- Der of the Italians state that they will resort to violence if they do not receive their money before night. Doolittle was expected to come from New Ha- ven this morning, but as far as they could find out he did not come, and there Is apt to be trouble at the place if someone Goes not pay up the Ital- ians and allow them to go
