tion was issued by the St. Clair Coun-
ty Circuit Court, Belleville, Ills, re-
straining the striking butchers and
meat cutters from interfering with the
operation Of the East st. Louis pack
ing houses or the non-union men en-
ployed in them has served to intensity
the situation. The strikers take it to
mean that the packers are determined
to operate the plants at once with large
forces of non-union men, and the pick
cts will be increased.
Women Not Barred.
st. Paul. July 1S.-The strikers to-
day allowed the women employed in

Violence at Chicago.
Chicago, Ills, July 18.-Represent-
atives of the packers said today that
their difficulty lay not in getting men
but in providing adequate protection
for them. The strikers appeared to
place little credence in the reports of
progress in filling vacancies. On the
contrary, the strikers declared many
non-union men had deserted. A crowd
concealed behind a fence threw bricks
at the Lake Shore train on which we've
fifty negroes bound for the Armour
plant.
