BULLETS. BOTTLES
FLY IN Labor ROW

With police doing duty every morn
Ing, noon and night at the Harlan
g. Hollingsworth Corporation for the
past two months to prevent an out.
break between present workers and
former employees OF the machine shop,
car shops and boatyard at the plant
now on strike, the first real disorder
occurred at s O'Clock last night. As
a result. several people had narrow
escapes from being shot end bottles
and stones hurled by both SIDES Came
near striking innocent Dy-snnders.
Only the prompt arrival OF the po
lice in a patrol wagon put % stop TO
the free forall fight and the parJici
pants al escaped.
The effect Of the use OF guns In
the fight was evident this morning
when 80 calibre revolver bullet WAS
found imbeddod in the Matchbox Ut
the railroad crossing at the foot Of
West street This bullet had evident
ly been fred towards Front street
from the south side of the crossing
and it had scraped the side OF the
watchmans box after striking The
window sill. This bullet was only
one OF many fred, however, according
to residents OF that section and this
morning several baskets OF broken
bottles we're gathered from the streets
near Front and West. These had
been hurled by the combined forces
of wOrkmon,
News of the outbreak caused much
excitement last night and within a
short time q large crowd had gath
cred in the vicinity OF the plant.
The use Of the firearms by these fight
ing was deplored by all. Ono Of the
men employed at the plant was fined
in City Court ON Monday on q charge
I of carrying a concealed revolver. The
man admitted that he brought the gun
with him from New York when he came
I here with los men snt here by the
Asher Employment Agency, to work in
the local plant.
From what was learned Of the fight
it appears that a large number Of the
men who are being quartered In the
] yards Of the corporation left the yards
by way Of the West street gate They
visited several stores and made pur-
chases of supplies and were on their
way back TO the plant when they en-
countered a number of striSep at Front
and West streets. These mon are al
legged to have been armed with clubs and
they started after %he othr workers,
who ran 10 the West street gate. in
this meantime bricks, bottles and other
missiles were being sent through the
air.
Someone sent word TO the police sta
ton and Captain Kelleher sent the po-
lice patrol 10 the scene with officers.
The police department has had sew
eral patrolmen stationed at the en-
frances 10 the plant since the strike in
the boatyard started two months ago,
and in addition 10 these duties the pa
trolmen have also acted as escorts TO
large bodies OF men who have come
here from out OF town TO take the
place OF the strikers. One night last
week two car loads OF men arrived
from New York. having been sent here
by the Farley Employment Agency and
they were met at the West Yard by a
detail Of police and taken 20 the plant.
The strikers have six plckels sta.
toned at the entrance TO the plant
and they warn all men approaching o.
a strike being in progress at the plant
