 Strike May Spread.
 At night a powerful searchlight which was shipped here from the San Francisco exposition sweeps the country for miles around the Old Do minion plant from its pinnacle on top of the highest hoist rigging. Every automobile from Miami or Globe is flooded with light and the surround ing hills swept with the white beam to prevent a surprise rush on the prop critics
 The mills, concentrators and grounds are also brilliantly illuminat- ed at night. giving the grounds the ap- pearance of a great exposition. The searchlight, like the underground pumps, is manned by college men who have been shut off from the outside world since last Monday.

W. w. were met here and elsewhere in the metal min ing districts, that a sympathetic strike would be called to tie up all freight going into the affected dis tricts. It was also reported tonight the 1,500 cars of freight, fuel oil and coal which had been consigned to the mining companies of this and other strike districts might be delayed with out the necessity of calling strike, as a sympathetic move on the part of railroad men and freight handlers.
