STRIKERS ATTACK GIRL.
She Was Carrying Message for Bos
ton Telegraph Company.

A dispatch from Boston, Mass, last night
says: Only one disorderly demonstration
marked the third day of the strike Of mes
senger boys employed by the American DIS
trict Telegraph Company. Throughout the
day several strikers were on picket duty in
the vicinity of the Western Union Telegraph
picket tried to induce many of the girl strike
breakers to stop work. but generally with
out any attempt at intimidation.
Late in the day one of the girls started out
of the office with message, and several
bows followed her to Salem street, yelling
at her and punctuating their remarks with
threats. The girl paid attention to the
crowd until one of the boys struck her and
then she struck back This was the signal
for an attack On her by the entire crowd
which had grown considerably since leay-
ing State street
Several men rushed to aid the girl and
protected her until couple of policemen.
by free use Of their clubs, scattered the
strikers and their sympathizers The girl
delivered the message and returned to the
office under police escort.
At a meeting of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil today a committee was appointed to ar
range for an indignation meeting in Fan
euil Hall to protest against the employ
ment of girl messengers by the telegraph
company officers of the council announced
that the cooperation of the socialists will
be asked in arranging the meeting.
The Newsboys' Union has donated SIS for
the benefit of the strikers, and has declared
an assessment Of 10 cents a week. Resolu-
tons were passed by the newsboys denOunc
ing the telegraph company for what was
termed "tyrannical action in discharging
faithful employee without hearing and with
out cause"
