pETER SBITRG, VA, June 2S.--No ex-
ira police are necessary and no extra
work by the force is required to keep
order during the presnet strike me
cries of "scab" that greets car man
on duty now and then comes as often
from his friends as from the sSmpathlz-
ers Of the striking men.
There is nothing to indicate that any
clash will come. however long the strike
may last.
The actions Of the striking men are,
indeed. commendable and citizens gen.
orally praise them for their conduct.
Cars are now being run regularly on
all the lines except on the Blandford
line. The company have trained men
enough TO run all the cars, but are not
putting them on, as all men employed
are given regular work. and they de-
sire to keep few positions open for
such of the men as they believe Will de-
sire work after the strike has passed.
WALK TO HELP THEMSELVES.
The tally-ho lines are still being run
by the former employees of the street
car company, but those who walk to
help the boys do not seem disposed to
ride to help them, for the patrons Of the
tally-hos are no more than the patrons
of the cars.
