man, jr., counsel TO- tire strikers, adj
vised them that they we're bound by
their letters to The Chamber OF Com
merce accepting the arbitration COM
mittee 10 abide by that body's decision.
The strikers refused to accept this ad-
vice, and counsel washed their hands
OF the case. TIE situation Is very
critical and even more serious trouble
is feared.
Several cars were operated under
heavy guard yesterday and only one
disturbance occurred. J. J. Kelly,
union plumber, boarded Car in Main
street, and when one of the non.union
conductors attempted to collect his fare
be refused to pay, and the guards
aboard were informed of his action.
During an argument with the soldiers
Kelly grabbed the gun Of one of the
guards and attempted to brain him
with 1t, when Private West, OF Com.
pauy +, Suffolk, brought the stock Of
his rifle down with stunning force upon
the side of Kelly's head, inficting
fearful wound. Az enormous crowd
soon collected and the attitude OF the
mob toward the soldiers was for time
menscing. Trouble was averted by
the car being started ahead at full
speed. Kelly was taken out to the
barns and was later carried back to
Norfolk by the police and locked up.
Norfolk, Va, March 10.-rhe strike
situation is more critical than at any
stage OF the trouble. Not withstsnding
the rendition of the arbitration boards
fiodings, the matter is not settled, for
the strikers will not return TO work
with the non.union men who took their
places. Their international officials
advise them that they could not retain
their charter should they consent to do
so. The report that the employees OF
the Richmond Traction Company, own.
ed by the same company controlling
the Norfolk lines have gone on q strike
made the men more determined. The
grievance in Richmond, they say, is
the same ss Observation-Disclosures v ith
the bonding system. 1t is reported
here that the Surrey cavalry has been
ordered to Richmond.

1T WAS hoped that after the release
OF Miss Stone the reading public would
be given a rest, es most people had
grown weary of the matter; but it nov
seems that this government, for reasons
beet known to itself, Ia pressing Turkey
for indemui6cation, holding t nat gov.
eminent responsible for the act of the
brigands who captured Miss Stone and
her companion. This may be regarded
from an international standpoint as a
legal procedure, but from an equitable
view it is questionable. That Turkey
has no more desire for bandits within
her borders than most people have for
ats in their houses must be apparent
to all fair.minded persons, and the
United States will not add to its lustre
by attempting to bully another super
animated country.
