SCORES INJURED

rifle fights with strike sympathizers

arrested as result Of today's dis
orders, which occurred as the work.
ers were leaving the local plants.
In other cities the situation was re-
ported quiet.
The outbreaks here came within a
few hours after Judge Dennis Srlli-
van had issued temporary injunc-
ton restraining the strikers from
picketing but despite this order, sew
eral thousand men gathered around
the plants just before the closing
whistle.
At the Armour Glue company,
about 200 men began hurling bricks
and stones at the workers as they
left the plant. Almost simultaneous
lily, disorders broke out at half doZ-
en- other plar is and within a short
time the whole packing house district
seemed to be in disorder
Women played an important part,
forming in crowds which blocked the
streets and traffic and hindered the
police. One crowd of $50 led by u
gray haired woman was charged re-
peatedly by mounted police before it
was disbandcd.
Chief Of Police Fitzmorris threw
every available policeman into the
district tonight and assumer personal
charges Of his forces. Two hours aft
ter the first outbreak, he declared
"everythirg seemed well in hand"
While the packing companies still
maintained that the strike was of
small consequence and not seriously
affecting them, Cornelius Hayes. in
ternational president of the Amcl-
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Workmcn of North America, declared
it had reached the 1G0 per cent. stage.
Mr.. Hayes declared that 5000 men
were on strike in the various packing
centers, $4,000 of these being in Chi
cago OF the latter 10000 were en-
ployed by the big five" packers
Swift. Armour. Morris, Wilson and
Cudahy, he said.

Meantime some of the Italian

agreement might be strengthened by
the addition of Italy but the position
of the delegation as a whole is said
to be one of satisfaction with the

Miss Ethel Rice, commercial teach
or at Hallowell High, has become a
very important factor at Maria Clark
Grammar school, where she is teach
ing penmanship. Miss Rice is very
popular with the pupils and her pro-
gressivc methods seem to inspire
them to do their best. When the
pupils will take the pains to call at a
teachers boarding place and ask for
home work in penmanship, it is proof
that they are inspired and bound to
do their best to master this all-im-
portant study that is So neglected in
all schools. If the present pupils of
Maria Clark continue to work as hard
as at present, it cannot be said of
them that tits almost impossible to
read their writing after graduating

warfare and certain subjects relating
to China. .ast
/ 1t is the general opinion, however.
that all the principal, problems like
naval ratio, the Pacific Notifications
and the four power agreement must
be disposed of before the. plenipo-
tentiaries depart. A general settle
ment in regard to these major sub
jects is expected to be included in a
single understanding among the
delegates and translated later into
several separate treaties and agree
mcnts.
Although regarded by both the
Japanese and the Americans as an
important element in the general
scheme of the negotiations, the prob
lem of Notifications and naval bases
in the Pacific does not promise to BE
difficult of solution. BY starting from
the promise that there is to be no
scrapping of island defenses already
erected, the delegates believe they
have found a simple basis for agree =
ment on the principle of maintaining
existing conditions, described in the
technical language of diplomacy as
the status quo"
Details of the Notifications settle
ment consequently have had little no
tice in the exchanges here, the Jap
anese apparently being satisfied for
the present with an assurance given
by American delegates that Il forth
fications limitation program would be
considered natural corollary of the
plan for, naval reduction. Without
such an assurance japanese accept
ance of the naval plan might have
been more doubtful since the Toxic
government has insisted from the
start that the naval base situation in
the Pacific bore a close relation to
national security.
1t Is considered probable that
Hawaii, lis in the four power treaty,
will be exempt from any provisions
Of the fortificStions agreement which
apply to other Pacific islands. The
American delegation Is said to re-
gard The Hawaiian group as a part
of the American mainland SO far as
all the present negotiations are con-
cerned and there Is confidence in
American circles that the group will
be considered by Japan as lying too
far from her shores to figure in the
national defense question.
BY working from the principle of
the status quo" the delegates have
adopted for the Notifications negotia-
tons the same principle that has
guided them in broad sense in the
conversations on both the naval radio
and the Far East. Preservation of
the existing proportionate strength
of navies was the cornerstone Of the
American naval reduction program
