USED RIFLE TO
ENFORCE ARGUMENT
Albert BIodgett Claims a Negro Nam
ed Archie Boyd Piunked Him
over the Head.

A local man, Albert Blodgett, was
a caller at the police headquarters
yesterday afternoon said call having
been necessitated, according to Blod-
gett, as the result of business argu-
ment with a negro named Archie Boyd
employed by rival concern,
Blodgett had minor scalp wound
which he told the police was caused
by his stopping blow with his head
The blow, he said. was aimed and de-
liyered by Boyd, who grabbed a rifle
by the barrel and swung with it for
Blodgett's head. The rifle, says Blod-
gett, was knocked from Boyd's hand
when Blodgett beat retreat. While
on the retreat he says Boyd picked il
rp and fired at him, but without eff
set.
No action was taken on the matter
yesterday, but it is probable an infor
nation will be docketed tomorrow
morning.

Talk With Employers.

It is said that there are already
two strike differences on hand be
tween these men and the employers
that are only in allegiance and which
have never been settled and yet the
men have been working right along
without calling on those employers
for compliance to those former de-
mands. These new sections of de
mand will make the third strike on
if a strike results from them.
/ From the talk today it seemed that
the employers will not sign the new
scale. Some OF the smaller firms
have already signed but those employ

comply with the demands. One of the
