strikers and their sympathizers were
snot and killed. employees of the Tide
water Oil company quit work, it was
said, unwillingly. The return of the

their vote to go back after he had
arrested jeremiah J. Baly, their
leader.

a guard was stationed every fifty feet
and on every corner was a policeman
with a rifle.
Sheriff DisperSes Crowd.
A crowd of several hundred men
who gathered near the oil works was
dispersed by the sheriff. Two arrests
were made, but there was no disorder
and the sheriff appeared to have alb
solute control
Many of the alien employees fol-
lowed the English-speaking strikers as
they entered the oil plant and the
sheriff was confident that all the for
eigners would go back to work.
The strike was begun to enforce a
demand foe 10 per cent increase in
wages.
