The microscope has its uses. But you

of nature-the rivers, the mountains,

There are men who always look
at life through this little instrument.
They seem to have a peculiar delight
in searching for the small things in

PHILADELPHIA April 15.-That
14O strikebreaking conductors and
motormen were shanghaied lin: At

brought here after false promises had
been made to them is the startling

Ninety-two of these men, it is said,
came from Atlanta. They claim that
they were told at the recruiting office
in Atlanta that the Transit company
was putting 1000 new cars in OPP
needed. Alluring promises were held
out to them, but the men say they
were told absolutely nothing about
the strike. ,>ss. =
Some of the men assert that they
were drugged in Atlanta and knew
nothing about coming here until they
regained consciousness on the train.
AS soon as the men arrived here and
discovered the true condition OF af-
+ fairs they elected committee of
three to see whether: or not legal pro-
ceedings charging shanghaing and
breach of contract could be brought
against the transit company ss..s:
The Atlanta mems committee said
they had been instructed by the men
TO get legal advice as to what course
to pursue. It was said that half Of
the men returned to Atlanta. The
men, when they arrived here, had
been. sent to the 18th street and Allie:

These men were sent to the Frank
