Special to Tn. Evening World,

internal discussions and It's numbers re-
drced to fifty-two. John Donnelley, who
acted as aide-de-camp, started the row
at Bristol. when his wheel was smashed
in a collision with a farmers wagon.
Comn!ssary Hinklesmith was riding it
at the time. Donnelly is corpulcnt and
does not fancy the idea o: Slking along
dusty pixies In 80 degrees of heat.
Through some oversight the old shpt-
ing rink was not ventilated before the
men entered 1t to sleep, n the place
was like TN oven. At 5 o'clock the
tootsore marchers were routed out and
Told TO hit the pike by one-quarter of
the Bristo d police force in the person of
Ortcer Tice, WHO said Move on"
Donnelley. who was a member of the
Executive Committee, refused to go fur
ther and cursed an outfit which would
march men three miles IN an empty
stomach. About half the army decided
to return to Philadelphia with Donnel-
ley. The stickers marched to the out
skirts of Bristol, took a swim in the
Delaware River and had breakfast.
Mother Jones SanRuine.
Mother Jones explained to a reporter
for The Evening World:
1--WE have cleaned out all the buns
who don't belong to the union and WAC
are sponging grub from us. All the
kickers are gone, too. and the stickers
are with us. Hinklesmith has gone on
to Trenton to make arrangements for
the meeting tonight; the town is filled
with textile mills, so we are sure of
money to send back to the strikers
Families. Marshal Sweeney Is collecting
provisions in Bristol and the army. more
or less hungry. Is resting at Tullytown,
but will reach Trenton by noon"
The first substantial encouragement
extended the army of Mother" Jones
since 1t left Philadelphia Tuesday was
that Of Bristol last night at an open-air
mass-meeting held at Mill and Pond
streets. Fully $500 persons applauded
the various speakers. chief of whom
was Mother Jones. A collection was
taken up which was Of satisfactory pro-
portions. Topping this, the merchants
OF Bristol contributed a ~wagon-lold OF
food, which should last for q. couple OF
days.
