MELON UNION STRIKES.
City Can't Keep the Wagons on Bee
ond Street, n1is

The Melon Sellers Union is In re-
bellion against the city council, AT
the last meeting the council ordered
the marshal to find a place for the
wagons to stand and to keep them
of the main streets. Marshal Sauer
designated the north side OF the
Kirby park and for two days kept
them there.
Then came strike. The melon
men objected to so much sunshine
and wanted to be in the busiest part
Of town and refused to stay where
they were located. There is no ordi.
nance fixing their location and they
deliberately moved out. They spent
the day on Broadway, Third and
Cedar where they pleased and were
happy.
1t is n6w up to the city fathers and
betting is even whether or not they
will stand the bluff.
