Father r. J. Gallagher for disturbing
the peace and carrying a concealed

he said, because he had been beaten
several times and his life had been

STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT
Calhoun's Explanation Is That Their
Contracts Had Expired

A small army of strike breakers left

Tuesday night and yesterday. Pickets
for the striking carmen stationed al
the Turk and Fillmore barns say that
125 nounion motormen and conductors
departed. President Calhoun says that
the men left because their contracts

were on their way from the east to
I'LL the places and take charge of ad-
ditional cars.

Secretary ]. H. Bowling of the car

ent view of the matter and declared that
the desertions of the strike breakers
marked the beginning of the end of
Calhoun's struggle against organized
labor.
Besides getting shy of cars" he
said. ''the United Railroads is losing
Its imported motormen and conductors
by the hundreds. These men quit be-
cause they were put on runs where
p1ceSuScTo were SO lew tlat there was
no chance at 'nickle grabbing. Cal

represents spending money. They

cause passengers are not numerous

enough to keep them here.
