An angry murmur in the crowd and

streets he had reached Helvetia Hall in

the strikers before the detectives
guessed where he was and followed him.
| Tresca and Miss Flynn tried to alight
at the station and were met by half a
dozen deputy sheriffs and detectives
armed with warrants for their arrest.
Round the station were 1000 or more
strikers who had waited for hours
against the coming OF their leaders. and
a mighty shout arose as girl and man
appeared on the platform. I. changed

stepped forward and arrested the couple.
The crowd surged forward. but Miss

baggage room of the station and the
door was slammed shut and locked In
their faces.
