When the strikers began to pour
into Mazzag's store through the
broken windows, Jensen and Morris
let go their prisoners and made tor
the rear door. They scaled a fence
and reached Pennsylvania railroad
property. through which they ran,
nursued by strikers, who threw coal at

received medical attention. They
were found to be suffering eacn
from a score of bruises on their

has now reached 1860.
Various plans of settling the strike
are being encouraged by leading cit
liens and pastors, who have con
ferred with the police and city Of
ficials. The most acceptable plan IL
that of Acting Mayor Ferd Garrett
son, who Is considering the matter of
inviting the Rev. Francis Gross, pas
tor of the Church of our Lady of
Hungary, to address the strikers ct

efforts of Quinn and Murtaugh to or
ganize at meetings in open air and in
halls TO affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor have proved
futile, and for the reason that Acting
Mayor Garretson's plan is more nc
ceptable.
