UNDER PEACE BONDS
Mil Workmen Would Prevent Strik-
ers From Bad Conduct.

erS From Bad Conduct.
Strikers attempting to intimidate
non-union men working in the mills
will be placed under peace bonds in
the future. Intimation of this latest
move of mill owners to protect their
workmen from the alleged slurs and
curses of strikers came today when
four workmen filed into the Shawnee
county court house with attorneys for
the mill owners to place strikers under
peace bonds.
Failure of the workers to establish
positive Identification OF the men they
claimed swaFe at them and threatened
to do personal violence resulted in the
temporary postponement of the is
suance of peace bonds. However.
these men were instructed to watch
for further alleged insults and threats,
positively identify the author of them
and call Immediately at the county at
torneys office with a demand that the
strikers be placed under peace bonds.
The workmen claim that while
loading a car at one of the mills the
strikers called them dirty names,
threatened to catch them uptown and
beat them up. There were four men
who called at the court house. Two
were soldiers just out of the army
who had nothing but their bonus and
pay when they were discharged.
