OF the sixty police OF Norfolk, thirty
are on duty at a time. They are working
six-hour shifts. Chief Vellines and his
men are nearly worn out. The Chief
said this afternoon that it is impossible
for him to cover the long line of railway
track. and rs fast as a body of strike
sympathizers are driven away from one
spot they consregate elsewhere. A report
came to headquarters to-day that 1.G00
men were obstructing the railway tracks
in Atlantic City Ward Traced, this was
discovered to be founded on the fact that
few boys were throwing panks on the
track there. The boys We're dispersed.
This is sample OF the way the police
are distracted

No evidence may be had which proves
that ANYBODY seriousfy obstructed the
cars to-day, the rioters evidently relying
on the Central Labor Union boycott to
force the company to come to terms. The
company, however. show no signs OF
weakening. and are bringing in strike
breakers upon almost every train
These men. heavily guarded by soldiers,
are conveyed through the streets TO the
car barns.
