Fitzgerald, Ca, July 23.-The first
tangible action to disarm the pickets
that have been stationed around tho
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail-
road shops and other property in this
city, was taken Friday when Sheriff
e. H. Dorminey placed two of the
strikers under arrest.
The sheriff went to Smalps Mill
picket post, the scene OF the shooting
of Engineer Reid short time ago.
and demanded of the pickets on duty
there that they surrender their arms.
All but two of the strikers complied
with this order. On failure of these
two men to comply they were placed
under arrest. They gave the names OF
Fred Stubbs and j. M. Smith. The
men were held under a $500 bond,
each.
Considered Test Case.
This is considered test case. in
an effort to disarm all former em-
pioyees OF the A., b. & A., many OF
whom are engaged in picket duty
around the company's property at this
time.

strikers had no right to arm their
