STRIKERS CONTROL SITUATION.
But Few Men at Work on Water Works
Near Clinton, Mass.

Clinton, Mass, July 15.-Affairs along
| the Nashua river basin, in the vicinity
of the big Metropolitan water works
dam, where 80 striking stone masons
and their sympathizers participated in
a disturbance. Tuesday, which threat
ened to assume serious proportions,
We're quiet, early Wednesday. Thirty
five police officers were on duty for the
purpose of giving protection to all who
desired to work and to keep the march
ing laborers from enchroaching on
state lands. Several times, Wednesday
morning, the strikers and their friends
entered forbidden territory and had
brief clashes with the police who hur-
riedly mingled with the crowd and
pushed and persuaded the men to go
back to the highway. The strikers Of
ferred no violence and no person was
hurt during the encounters.
The strikers were still practically in
control of the situation as not more
than 20 men We're at work for the con-
tractors up to $50 and over 400 We're
idle. The great body of laborers, near
ly all of whom are Italians, do not feel
that it is safe to return just yet. Quite
a number of them have grievances,
they say, although not many have
made formal demand upon the con-
tractors. Those who are not strikers
were so impressively inundated, Tues
day, when revolvers We're fiourished in
their faces and one heSitating individ-
ual was thrown into the Nashua, that
they are in no hurry whatever to- re-
turn to their labor, until the situation
is more clarified.
The contractors We're able, however, to
place three small gangs of memo in all
at work, but with the exception of the
labor being performed by them, all opera
tons are at a standstill. The contractors
have attempted nothing at the dam in the
way of masonry, and the quarry is still
closed.
The police have been able to control the
acts of the strikers. but although it is
said many of those idle would like to re
turn to work, the men do not feel that it
would be safe for them to do 50 just yet.
The first move of the day was made
Just before A. NJ, when a detail of 80
officers Joined the special officers on duty
at the east towers on Boylston street.
The strikers and their sympathizers had
formed on line, even at that early hour
They reached the towers about the time
that the police did, but there was no dis

A young man was in our office the other

man in the South. He is the son of a
Baptist preacher. His father came South
from New York. This boy is a draughts-
man in the Atlantic Coast Line offices
at Wilmington. He received his technical
training in this State and got his present
position on merit. He says he sees a
good future ahead of him. He has no
fears in his chosen profession. He has
brother now in New York State and
he said he wanted him to come South,
where the chances are better for a
young man. To be sure there is more of
money and more of hustle in the North,
but here in the enlivened South there is
less of fighting competition and more Of
real pleasure in business. And this boy
is the son of a preacher, a poor Baptist
preacher, who gave his son good start.

Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 27.-Hon. E
j. Justice, who has been attending court
at Marion, and other courts, of his old
judicial district, has returned home. He
has spent some time with his father
Judge NJ. H. Justice, recently. ASKED
as to the rumor that Judge Justice would
not be a candidate for the Supreme Court
judgeship to succeed Justice Douglas, Mr.
Justice said the report was entirely
groundless, that his father, in no sense
would engage in any scramble or I'M
seemIy contest for the nomination, yet he
was very earnest aspirant for the high
honor, and since the announcement OF
his candidacy was made some time ago
he has been deeply gratllied at the cor
dial assurances of support he had re-
ceived from all sections of the State. II
is generally conceded that the race be
tween him and Judge Hoke VIII be an
