men. ranging in age from 16 TO Co.
jammed the streets leading TO the
employment bureau of the Ford
Motor Co. Tuesday and resisted all
efforts of a large squad of police re-
serves TO drive them away from the

So great was the crowd and so
eager was it TO obtain employment

dangerous to open the doors of the
employment bureau and so with the
crowd becoming SO unruly that fierce

promote it's propaganda last summer
when il succeeded in calling a strike
of several thousand automobile
workers who. however returned TO
work a few days later. Since that
time agitators have been at work in
the city, but employers and leaders
of the workers alike declared Tues
day that there was little prospects
for the ]. w, W. to gain foothQld
in Detroit.
Five dollars a day is to be the low

Eight members Of the Water Witch
Fire Company had the experience OF
their lives last evening when fellow
members Of the Gre company had TO
lift them from> their chemical auto
apparatus on their return from fire
at the home of DR.. Julian Ortiz near
Greenville. The firemen, benumbed
with the cold and the driving snow,
were taken into the fire house ana
all their clothing removed. The hre-
men then rubbed their bodies with
rough towels and in this manner cir
culation was restored. The men were
later taken into the bunk room at the
fire Headquarters and while all SUI
fered greatly from their exposure
they did not have to go to any hospi-
tai for treatment. Those who respond

suffered we're: william J. Quilivan,
the operator Of the machine; William
MONTGOMERY, Walter Ware, John Max

George Quillivan and Taylor Maxwell,
firemen.
The fire at the Ortiz home threat
ened to be serious for awhile, al
/ though the damage amounted to
only $1,000. The fire was discovered
about 6 O'Clock while the family was
at dinner. The fire was discovered
when smoke was seen curling
through the floor Of the dining room.
An investigation showed the rafters
under the floor and the woodwork
in the cellar near the furnace to be
ablaze The flames had eaten their
way through a pantry to the bed
rooms in the rear of the second floor.
A telephone message was sent to the
Water Witch Company and the seven
men responded with the company APP
