contractors failed to convince all of
their own kind that their course was
right and instead of enforcing 100
per cent lockout gained but 10 per
cent lockout.
The day after the lockout the con-
tractors gave out statements to the
newspapers that declared 1 100 were
locked out. There are but 800 union
fathers who could have been affected.
Of these, so per cent are still work
ing, 80 per cent are unemployed, but
not locked out and 10 per cent are
locked out.
The employers announced that
within two days after the lockout
they would have every place filled
with union men. They, advertised in
the newspapers that men were want
ed to join the new union, but appar-
emily got few responses, for the lath-
ers have knowledge that in the place
of the 80 locked out but 8 scabs have
so far gone to work.

Margaret Haley has received from
Leon Hornstein of the corporation
counsePs Office letter denying he
had ever intimated to anybody that
the added school appropriation might
reach $17,OO0,OOO. Opponents of the

 CITY OF CHARLESTON
(Continued from Page one)

by majority of 19 votes out of more than coco cast. More than 100 votes were contested by the Grace adherents and the city executive committee met today to canvass the returns.
 Bitterness engendered by a campaign ir which personalities seemed to have overshadowed real issues, the presence of the militia on primary day and the close ness of the vote created such threaten ing atmosphere that many extra police men were detailed in and in front of the building where the meeting was to be held The building was crowded and good sized crowd in front was held in check by the officers.
 Trouble Begins
 Just as the meeting was to be called to order some one started fight in a hallway adjoining the committee room During the scuffling, shouting and jam ming in the hallway some one In the committee room fired shot and the real fight was on. Policemen in the hall way and committee room seemed power less. Several pistols were brought into play and as the firing continued amid the scramble to escape, yelling and cries of the wounded, someone threw three ballot boxes out of the window.
 Cohen was struck as he was making for window to escape A pistol for W tNo uleH were HllHS was dlS- charged and the bullet gave him his mortal wound. Whether any of the wounded were really participating in the fight had not been made known to- night
 When the shooting was heard by those in the crowd trouble was threatened there for a time. The extra force of police held the crowd in check while a hurry call was sent to Sheriff Martin and a message sent to Governor Man ming. The governor immediately or dered out the Washington infantry, and members of this company were on the scene within an hour and half after. the first shot was fired. The governor then ordered that the entire second regiment be held ready if more trouble should break out
 The ballot boxes thrown from the windows were recovered and as far as known tonight none of the boxes in the room was missing. The six men un- der arrest are said to have been active in the interests of Hyde It was said tonight the executive committee would count the ballots tomorrow and an nounce its decision.
