From City.

Following an order of the police that
all members of the Industrial Workers
of the World leave Salina at once,
Maj Fred Fitzpatrick of the Kansas
National Guard was warned by man
from the l. w. w. camp to station
guards at the armory of Company M.
The man who gave the warning said
he knew the plans that had been laid
by the members. The l. w. W., about
three hundred in number, have been
giving trouble in Salina several days
= in various ways. IsadOre Schwartz,
James Sullivan and man named
Gray, leaders and organizers in the
order, were arrested today and all
other members were ordered to leave
town.
Two hundred left and fifty others
marched to the city hall late in the
afternoon and demanded the release Of
the three leaders. Gray and Sullivan
were released, and Schwartz still is
held. Schwartz had letters concern
ing literature printed in different Ian.
guages that had been sent to him
there and at Ellis. Thousands of
pieces of literature have been scat
tered over the territory and it is all
calculated to cause trouble.
Since the order of the police was
made the leaders telegraphed to Chi
cago for five thousand men and they
say they can have ten thousand men
there in few days.
