~ The Milwaukee road, as it has on
previous Sundays, continued it's work
Oh its extension through the city Sun
day morning. "A force of twenty
seven men started to lay track past the
knitting mill, but beyond lots one,r
two and three of block 1877, which it is
enjoined from entering and which are
owned by the mill company. l'
I Although the track laying force kept
off of the enjoined property there was
a scene similar Ito that which occurred
when it first attempted to pass the
mill Employees stood on one, of the
buildings with a line of hose and
poured water upon the workmen, but
the wind was SO strong that the stream
was not very effectual. This time the
workmen retaliated by throwing
spikes at the men who were trying to
prevent = them from laying the rails'
This occurred between the hours of
nine and ten o'clock. ~" +.
The railroad men 2telephoned for
police protection, but when the police
arrived the trouble was over. TIL g

mill authorities did not want it, and
the two forces had ceased hostilities;
Some of the track layers were coated
with ice where the water had fallen
upon their, clothing, but this did not
interfe re with their work,
The IA ilroad, authorities had the
track laid on the advice. Of their attorr77

applying only to three lots, there was
nothing to prevent the track being
laid elsewhere. w. =

to the mill, where he stood off thirteen

could be summoned. The number Of
railroad men increased, and when the
missiles came pretty thick against the

to desist to save themselves from in

One or two received slight bruises.
Willard opposed the laying Of
