Boardwalk Demonstration Frus
trated by Lone Cop

Atlantic City, July ia single po-
liceman, with nerve and a sense of the
fitness Of things, frustrated the first
attempt of striking rolling chair pushers
to demonstrate on the boardwalk this
afternoon. Not more than fifteen of the
strikers, decked with union signs, were
in the line, but others were gathering
rapidly when the bluecoat appeared un-
cxpectedly.
"Git. you fellows" he shouted. "You
ought to know we cant stand for this
sort of thing on the boardwalk" "
The paraderS capitulated without n
word of protest, and large crowd of
partisans of the chair barOns, who
maintained the strike cannot be too
quickly terminated. Cheered the blood :
less victory of the police. Very few
chairs are moving today.
