MORE STRIKE
Breakers NOW
1T MAPLEV|LlE

The full contingent of strike-breakers
returned to work at the Coronet plant,
Mapleville, yesterday morning. In addi-
tion they brought 10 new men with them
Ito take the strikers places.
The management claims that there are
l1SO operatives at work in Che plant, all of
them competent to take the places of the
men who left, while the strikers allege
that but SO men are at work, that 45 OF
these are employed In the weave room
and that none are skilled operatives
The strikers are out with retributive
,nove against the strike-breakers. In
which Jere Bailey, one of the men OF the
village, claims that one OF the strike
breakers pulled revolver on him while
he was walking peaceably along the street
on Sunday afternoon. Bailey reported the
incident TO Town Sergeant Collins, vino
will probably serve a warrant upon the
alleged culprit today.

used to light his way home at night.
