VII take the position that any stranger
aas a right in Washington so long as he
behaves himself
According to an official statement the
Commissioners will not m any manner
interfere with the strikebreakers unless
proof Is submitted to them that the strike
breakers are undesirable.
C Reed, ]. ]. Cohen and other leaders
of the imported workers again denied
asst night that their men were of the
strong-arm" type. They denied that
among the strangers were ex-convicts
and notorious crooks.
Denies Men Are Criminals.
President King supported them in
this denial, and declared that the men
were law-abiding and had come here
In answer to advertisements for en-
ployment- He said that most of them
would become permanent pesidents of
Washington.
Contrary to these statements, many
cttizens have q different opinion. There
was no end to complaints lodged by
persons who rode on the cars Of the
company yesterday. Many declared
that the strikebreakers in charge of
the cars would only sell Ave tickets
for a quarter: that the men were i'm
pertinent and treated patrons discour-
teously.
The company denied that 1t had au-
thorized the selling sof five tickets for
. quarter.

Unions Pledge Support.
It was stated last night that every one
Of the 1000 union machinists at the Navy
Yard had pledged their support to the
strikers. The Brewers Union and vari-
Gus other labor organizations took similar
action
Leag have also pledged themselves not
to patronize the company until favorable
adjustments have been made.
