effect, knocking men from their wagons
headlong in the street. In other instances,

to see how the members of the mob could
escape many broken neads or how all
the bullets fired during the day should
have gone wild.

ployers' association would be handled by
men armed with rifles today, nothing or
the kind was attempted, save in the case

association informed them that he had
not contemplated arming his men as
stated. The Scott men carried rifles
throughout the day and none of them
were molested.
The strike today did not spread in any
degree No more men were called out.

immediate prospect that any more team
sters will strike
