borl as ii is generally admitted that
+roons will settle the izsue. Five nun
draJ additional policemen were sent

ing 10 tie inability of the police ue-
rartment to furnish adequate protec-

send out only 500 wagons today in
stead of 1900 as planned. The police
report this morning that many negro
strike breakers refused to go to work
today or to leave the barns where they
are housed. The negroes say they
were not brought here to fight white
men and they will not do it for $3.50
a day.

breakers who arrived from the south

taken for a strike breaker at Twenty

badly beaten that he may die.
