AItercation with Foreman.
The riot at the tin plate mills was

had with the foreman of the timing

ga and il occurred Wednesday night
st i 1850 o'clock. There was a
grievance Of some kind over the man
ner q doing certain work in the
Timing department and the foreign
ers
Went Out on Strike.
They left the mills and after couple
OF hours returned to the timing de-
lartment where they resumed the
altercation with the foreman of the
and a number OF other
men at work. They became very
aisorderly and tried to urge the other
men TO leave their work and go out
ON strike. After riotous scene
the foreigners were
Put Out OF the Mil.
The foreigners had been drinking
before they returned to the mill and
a number Of them were under the
Influence of intoxicants when they
tried to get their fellow country men
20 go out on a strike and became
riotous. Aside from a few skirm-
fishes between men at work and the
strikers there was no serious fight
ing which is very fortunate for IL
eree-for-ali battle had developed the
results doubtless would have been
disastrous for several.
Ofhcials Cause Arrests.
omeiais OF the tin plate mills
caused the arrest of the rioters
Thursday morning. They com
munIcated with the magistrates
court and asked that constables go
out and take the men into custody.
This course was taken in order to
prevent the strikers from further
sntimidating the tin plate workers at
the mills and to try and get the lat
er Join them in a sympathetic strike
The hearings have not been set but
wiz likely be held Friday some time.
Men Had Weapons.
Some OF the strikers had weapons
with them whey they were taken in
70 custody by the officers. The lat
ter searched them and got loaded
from one man, a sharp
razor from another and an ugly
booking knife with long blade
from another. Charges Of unlaw-
Tuliy carrying deadly weapons will
be preferred against the men who
had these in addition to the charges
OF riotous and disorderly conduct.
