yarn that reached the labor headquarters
earlier in the day that the steel COM

wild IRE among the strikers and a mid
night there were hundreds Of men on
hat thoroughfare and from all appear
ances they were prepared for the strike
breakers in case they appeared
officials Of the steel company denied
the report. but seemingly the strikers
and the labor leaders were not taking
any chances The police sent a large
force of extra men into this zone but
everything was quiet and orderly Those
who stopped TO consider the rumor knew
that the steel company would not pull
a train load of strike-breaksrs into the

breakers into the plant they have
tracks 81 their own leading into the
plant. Up until late hour the pickeLs
also had a large swarm of men on
Broadway. Towards morning they grad

than dozen arrests were made by the
police yesterday and last night. The
majority OF them were made early this
morning. It broke quiet spell that
