ognition of its rights to exist and treat
with the employers. 1t gives to the
employer the knowledge that there will
be no sympathetic strikes during its
life. These two points, the most vital

crowd, which had held up and demOl- |
ished a street car. The officers were |
stoned and number Of persons were
injured. The soldiers are stationed |
at short spaces and maintain practical |
ly a solid line, while cars are run, each |
with guard of deputy sheriffs the |
schedule being maintained with some |
show of regularity. There are few pas
sengers.
From the time the strike was de- |
clared on June there has been fire. |
Quent trouble in this city. Appears |
were made to Mayor Fitzgerald to in |
crease the number of police, but he |
declined to act, declaring that the |
city's financial condition would not |
permit him to employ additional men.

with the result that the militia were
ordered out.
