No one who has heard that sound ever

of artillery, when one knows that it is

knell of DOOM
The cafe was crowded. The fat face
of the patronne was wreathed in
smiles. Anyone Is mistaken who i'm

from human view in dense rolling

Cafe du Lion dor one looked upon
life unchanged. True, there were

WOMEN ENGAGED IN FIGHT FOR
 STRIKERS

ROOSEVELT. N. J., Feb. S--A storm of angry women stormed the gates of the two fertilizer plants of the Ameri. can Agricultural Chemical Co. here this morning, where the nineteen strikers were shot by deputy sherins last month. The women administered a severe beating to Elmer Osborne. the chief engineer of the plant. and to Franck c. Davis. a clerk. The police arrived at the scene just in time to save the women from probable seri. ous injury.
 The trouble occurred when some men attempted to go to work this morning in the place of the strikers, at wage of $1.6O per day. This is the wage that was offered the strikers, and was the cause of the strike. as the men refused to accept this cut from $2 per day. and demanded $40. The women jeered and hooted at the men going to work None of the striking laborers went back at the re- duced wages.
