STRIKERS STEAL \ MARCH
The strikers stole march on the man
ager of the Star tin plant at about mid
night tonight and took from him nine
of a party of twelve nonunionists being
taken 10 the mill The men arrived over
the Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadel-
phia, about 1880 p. m, and were met by
a large force Of policemen. who had orders
to see that they were safely landed in an
omnibus 10 be driven TO the mill at Twelfth
street. The policemen at the Union Sta
ton performed their duty successfully, but
after the vehicle left the station it was
surrounded by a crowd Of $50 strikers.
Stones and vile epithets were hurled at
the newcomers, and ia spite OF the Efforts
of the driver of the bus 10 speed his team,
the strikers reached the mill ahead OF the
nOnuniOnists, completely oVerpOWered the
two lone policemen stationed there and lit
orally carried off nine of the men and
lodged them I'm a hotel on Liberty avenue,
the other three being pulled into the mil
yard by the company people.
The trip from the station 10 the mil
was most exciting one. The strikers
who had gathered at the depot were mad
dened by the policemen ordering them not
to speak TO nor modest the newcomers In
any way, and as soon as the omnibus got
fairly started on its journey stones, Gin
ders and dirt were hurled at it, A large
bOWlder crushed in the rear window of
the vehicle, and its occupants became thor
oughly frightened and crOuChed on the
floor. When the mill was reached, the
overwhelming number of strikers crowded
the two policemen back and had possession
of their prey before assistance could be
summoned The whole affair, from sta
tion TO mill and until quiet had been re-
stored, occupied not more than fifteen
