IN PAWTuxeT VALLEY.

There appears to be no change In the
strike situation In the Pawtuxet Valley.
The strikers claim that there are no more
cars running than the day before, and
that none OF former employees have re-
turned to work.
The only act Of violence to one OF the
motormen happened Saturday afternoon,
when a gang OF hoodlums attacked Harry
Bligh Of Phenix as he was returning
home.
When Bligh reached Lippitt he was set
upon and struck with rotten eggs and
found IL necessary TO take refuge In q
nearby store. He was accompanied the
remainder Of his journey by an officer.

work after the strike. seems TO be an OBJ

dents and Saturday night someone stole

reached the switch the crew and those
within the car were obliged to leave the
car and clear the track and open the
switch. -
The crowd greeted the car with show
ers OF stones and the shertffs were COM
