Non-union machinists who returned to
work in the shops Of the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Company this week are said
to be unable to stand the jeers of their
felowworkmen and are quitting one at
time. Israel Weaver, one of the men
who went into work on Monday quit
yesterday after standing the jeers which
was caused by his action of deserving the
other strikers as long as possible. An
other machinist whose name could not be
learned, quit last night. Albert Pales-
tine, who is said to be q Spaniard, also
quit work yesterday. Palestine had been
working on the torpedoboat Stringham
for sometime. Yesterday he was ordered
to work on the steamer Denver, which
he refused to do. He packed up his
tools and is said to have left the city.

Harlan & Hollingsworth Company s
shops will be out again in few days.

returned to work have been practically
