STRIKE RESULTS
in FATAL CLASH
NOnUnion Workers Were At
tackled by Strikers at New
Orleans Sugar Refinery.
SITUATION is IN HAND
Fifty Men Armed With Quick
Firing Rifles Are Standing
Guard Over Closed Plant

New Orleans, Feb 14.-Armed with
quick firing rifles men were placed
on guard this afternoon at the plant
of the American sugar refinery as a
result of a fight this morning between
union and nom union men. in which
a negro union man was killed.
The plant is closed down for the pres
ent.
About twenty others were cut and
bruised in a hand to- hand fight be-
tween the white and negro strikers
and non-union workers in the rear of
the Chalmette plant of the American
refinery.
Revolvers were freely used. The dead
man was shot through the head.
According to the officials of ST.
Bernard parish, where the Chalmette
plant is located the fight started when
a New Orleans train loaded with sew
eral hundred non-union workers was
side tracked behind the refinery. 1t
had been announced the non-union
men were to take the places of the
union employees of the refinery who
went on strike when their demands for
recognition of their union and in
creased wages and shorter hours were
refused.
According to official report, a crowd
of strikers, most of them negroes,
surged upon the car and the fight
started. The dead man was said to
have been non union. The fight fin
ally ended in victory for the train
passengers, the strikers retreating. No
arrests were reported.

SMITHWICK IS
AGAINST TRAINING
ey GEORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. IA. - The
Florida congressman, with the excep-
tion of Mr.. Sears, who was absent
owing to illness of his son, voted unan-
imously in the democratic caucus last
Monday for the resolution declaring
against passage of any measure by
this congress providing for universal
compulsory military training.
The three members present, Con-
gressmen Smithwick, Frank Clark and
Drane, were not swayed by President
Wilson's letter urging chat no action
be taken on the subject at this time,
but voted for the resolution which
carried 1OS to II.
Congressman Smithwic< voted
against universal compulsory military
training legislation at this session, he
said, because Cd there is no present
need for it with 100000 thoroughly
trained American soldiers; 90 taxes
are already too heavy to add another
big unnecessary burden of. one billion
dollars annually for military training;
.(3) it is inadvisable to give military
training to the negroes; (4) it would
take too many boys off the farms, and
(5) last, but by no means least, the
people of his district do not want it
and he represents the wishes of his
constituents in voting against it, at
least at this time.
