The evening was spent by the men in

difficult to find in the country hap

ton they expressed themselves as anx-
lous to return to their old places with
out delay, it being the unanimous dec
laration that doing picket duty is
| harder work than that required in the
packing plant.
1t was admitted by some of the men
that as the days dragged by without
settlement they had become somewhat
doubtful as to the outcome. Several of
the men asserted that they made up
| their minds to seek other employment,
| 1T being impossible to find one who
would admit that he contemplated re-

| Doss Has Striker Arrested

at South st. Paul, went to the Office
! of Judge c. c. Doss, of the municipal
| court, last evening, and owing to the
! trouble that the men had previously a
quarrel at once ensued.
Doss claims that Lawler threatened
| to strike, and Lawler is very sure that
| the judge drew a revolver and said
that he would shoot. The Judge exer-
cised his authority and called upon
Patrolman Robinson to place Iawler
under arrest. The officer did as d.
rected, and Lawler was turned over to
his father, Patrick Lawler, the city
! jailer, who was compelled to mt his
son in a cell.
The incident aroused much feeling.
and 1t is said that Lawler will today
secure from County Attorney -O'Keefe

Mayor Lyle that an effort will be
