imported to take the place OF strikers

Alleppo street. So they called upon the
police of the Chaffee street station to
keep a watch over them.

was received. )21 In number, arrived from
Pennsylvania, and those who sent them
here shipped them by train. thinking

much 10 the community or the com
pany.

pany. Such action is apt TO attract the
attention OF boys who, with others,
would undoubtedly indulge in stone
throwing and other acts of violence. IL
the officials OF the company have all
the help they want. they claim, they
would have no cause TO bring such class
OF help here.

weavers are stored" In the old building
on Alleppo street with those who came
