In consultation with J. A. Shackel-
ford, president of the T. r. G. p.
company and attorney for the
smelter, for several hours today.
An automobile containing
strikebreakers from Renton en-
tered the gates of the smelter
early this morning, accompanied
by a fusillade of bullets. Two
tires were punctured and q head
light smashed. The strikebreak-
ers are reported to have vigorous

strikers.
Last night a huge electric
searchlight was placed on. tbs
roof of the smelter refining
house, and operators played the
shaft of light over the works all
night. This was done, it was re-
ported today, to prevent the gath
ering of any strikers during the
night and to prevent entrance be-
ing made to the plant.
Two steamers are waiting al
the smelter docks to be unloaded,
but no effort was made by smelter
officials to accomplish the work
today.
Thirteen negroes and several
white strikebreakers we're taken
into the smelter plant last night.
The strikebreakers had to walk
between flanks of strikers down
the main street of Ruston and
were jeered loudly. John Boloski
and Mike Melinski, two of the
strikebreakers, are said to have
been struck by flying stones and
injured.
During the night Town Marshal
Boyd of Ruston remained sta.
toned at the oil tank of the
smelter, with deputies, to pre-
vent any effort to destroy 1t. The
oil tank Is outside the smelter
yards, and i'm close proximity to

determine whether or.not there is

All day today strikers gathered
about the main gates to the smelt-
err and held back workmen in
other branches of the smelter who
wished to enter. The other
workers took the move good
naturedly. Laborers at the
smelter were the only men af-
fected by the new scale of hours
that went into effect January 1.

Famous Dancer Declares the Tur-
key Trot and Similar Steps
Are Outrageous.

Anna Pavlowa, the wonderful
dancer in Atlanta with the Russian
imperial ballet, declared Monday that
the ordinary tango is an idiocy of the
moment and that she was astounded
that Americans could look with favor
on the turkey trot and like dance
steps
She said she could not understand
the craze for such dances and that
she herself shuddered to think of at
tempting such steps. Why, the Rus
sian Car himself had forbidden the
tango, fishwalk, etc, to be INDUCED in
by the artists of the Imperial Dane
ing School at St Petersburg!
Pavlowa admitted, however, there
were certain steps i'm the tango which,
when danced along correct lines, were
decidedly graceful. When the turkey
trot and similar steps were mentioned
she had nothing but expressions of
utter contempt for them.
