THE INDUSTRIAL WAR

Detroit, Mich; Oct. 30.-Board of
arbitrator adjusted the differences
between 1920 motormen and con-
ductors and the Detroit United Rail-
way by allowing entirely or in part
three of the four demands. The wage
scale for men in the employ of the
company for at least year was in
creased from 80 to 80 cents an hour,
with proportionate increases for 9TH

Trinidad, CoI.-Though the situa-
ton is tense at Aguilar and clash
between coal strikers and militiamen
was threatened several times, no
trouble has yet occurred. The troops
disarmed half dozen guards and ten

General Chase, returning from trip
of inspection, said it would probably
be several days before the disarming
was completed. He stated that strik-
ers everywhere were willing to give
up their arms if the guards would do
likewise.
Ludlow, CoI.-MartiaI law has not

have slain Mrs. Annabel Wight last
December.
The remainder of Spencer's twenty
murders" are believed to be the
dreams of man obsessed by that form
of insanity known as Stir simple" a
delusion described as penitentiary in
sanity.
