MADE TO RUN THE GAUNTLET.
NOn-Union Men Given Bad Deal by
Chicago Machinists.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The machinists of
the Allis- Chalmers Company, who
were on strike for the greater part of
a year, and returned to work June 10,
are out again. The trouble originated
through the determination of union
men to force all the non-union men
from the shop. There are sixteen of
these, all high grade machinists. AT
noon to-day the union men, 200 in
number, seized eight of the
non-union men and compelled
them to run the gauntlet between two
lines of men armed with shingles. The
eight men were badly bruised and
such disturbance was raised that the
police were called. The officials of the
company promptly discharged five of
the ringleaders in the assault upon the
non-union men, and the others left
their places at once.

SLEDD'S ARTICLE ON NEGRO.
Trustees of Emory Are Not Talking,
But what They VIII Do to Ledd
Will BE a Plenty.

Atlanta, Aug. 5.-The article on the
subject of the negro by Prof. Andrew
Sledd of Emory College continues
to cause considerable talk. Members
of the board of trustees of Emory were
interviewed to-day, and while they ex-
pressed no opinion, there were strong
intimations in what they said. They
said they preferred not to discuss the
subject because it would have to come
before them for final action. 1t looks
as if they will make it pretty warm
for Prof. Sledd when they meet. Bish-
op Turner and r. D. Stinson of Nor
riss Brown College. well-known negro
educators, We're asked about the mat
ter. Bishop Turner thought the ar
ticle all right. but Stinson considered
it very unfortunate at this time, as
the Negro Young Peoples Union is
about to convene here. He said he
thought the discussion of it would, on
that account, do more harm than good.
