The labor leaders fatty refused to de-

leaving the meeting that he would call

business with the boycotted houses,
even if it was necessary to lock out all
employees to do so.
Mayor Dunno has served notice upon
the strike leaders that a spread ofzthe
strike would probably mean the cell
ing out of the militia. The mayor
talked plainly of the possibilities of the
police being unable to preserve peace
in case anything approaching a gen
eral strike occurred, accompanied as
it probably would be by renewal OF
violence and rioting on a larger scale.

he would order out the militia, as the
police could not preserve order.
The liverymen and cab companies
also had a conference with the mayor,
the strike leaders having refused to
order cab drivers to deliver their pas
sengers at the boycotted stores. The
mayor said he would revoke the Ii,
scense OF any cab driver who disobeyed
the city ordinance which requires the
taking of passengers to their destina-
ton.
More school children struck on ac-
count of the delivery of coal by non
union drivers. The board Of educa-

law and arrest the parents, who in
some cases at least are t ,iieved to be
responsible fer the action ef their chill
dren and will send their t,s.ea,il-.; TO tn.

An additional number of strike
breakers were brought into the city
during the day, but some of them de-
serted because they did not know a
strike was in progress here.
Deliveries were made with com
paratively little interference, though
there were more riots and several non
union drivers were assaulted and in
jured.

RESULT OF HEAVY RAINS.
Rivers of Wisconsin and Minnesota
Near DANGER Line.

Near Danger Line.
La Crosse, Wis, May 17.-Heavy
and steady rains of the past week are
raising rivers in this vicinity to the
danger point. The Mississippi here
has risen four feet in four days and
still going up rapidly. The greatest
damage is expected along the banks
of the La Crosse and Black rivers in
Wisconsin and the Root river in Mime
sofa, where much valuable property is
located along the banks. A large part
OF the north side of the city of La
Crosse will be flooded if the river
rises another foot. Railway tracks
along the Root and La Crosse rivers
have been washed out, a washout caus-
ing the wreck of a Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul passenger train near
West Salem. No one was injured.
