DRIVE THEM FROM WORK
Police Are Again Called Upon to
Dispense New York's italian
Strikers.

New York, May 5.--Several hundred
Italian strikers made demonstration to-
day before the diggers and shovelers en-
ployed OH the Mascot dam at the water
works improvements in the borough Of
the Bronx and succeeded In driving them
from their work. The laborers at work on
the dam for Contractor John B. McDon-
aid had announced their satisfaction with
the wages paid and said they would not
strike. But the strikers, who have har-
assed the Mcdonald contracts especially
along the subway, said they would drive
the men from the trenches and they ap-
peared at the dam several hundred
strong.
The first laborers to start to work were
hooted and howled at. A few stones were
thrown and as the number of laborers in
creased a leader In the crowd of strikers
shouted a phrase In Italian and dash
was made upon the works. The 1aborers
dropped their tools and fled Not wish
ing to mix with the police, who had been
called the strikers dispersed. The police
kept all strikers moving to-day all along
the route of the subway. and with the
numerous officers on guard there was a
line of blue in Broadway from Forty
second street to One Hundredth street.
Strikers were not allowed to gather at
street corners even to discuss the
troubles. The strikers had 400 pfckets
along the line of work. A number of iron
workers employed in the subway were
forced to quit work to-day by a lack OF
material and the men to fetch it.
