ran.
AS they swept out of the yards
they were met by the police, clubs
in hand, thirsting for vengeance
for the defeat of the morning. !
The strikers tore up pickets
from the fences surrounding the
mills, and fought the police hand

And then the soldiers came on
again, bayonets fixed, ten rounds
of ball acrtridges in their belts,
and once more the strikers gave

By noon the city was under

Many of the operatives are

Among these there was secret
talk of violence as soon as the eff

the other. They send me to each

this show doesn't draw bigger houses.
We certainly have a great cast; the
piece is far better than the average;
our press agent has been doing noble
work; the prices are reasonable; the
chorus is one of the biggest in town,
and everything has been done, it
seems to me, that could be done to
make the thing smashing success.
