which marked the beginning of the
strike. Friday. but this was only be-
cause the disorders occurred largely

strikes at the other mills more than
50 600 persons were out of work.
The attitude of the strikers today,

most serious rioting of the day oe-

mil gates and when the mill fire hose
was turned upon them they beat down
the mill employees with clubs and shots
ana turned the hose upon the millmen.
Several persons were shot, in the
hundred or more bullets which We're
fired by the mob. II was the situation
here which led to the calling out of
