Danville-The city chain gang, y
men in all, went on strike today
bnt there was no walk3ut, rc'thet
we're the places of the strikers re-
placed bv strike breakers. When
fhe shackled gang reached the
quarry yesterday morning the men
nineteen Of them colored-stood
in groups and refused to go to
work. William Haley, a white
prisoner serving fifteen months for
robbery. appered as spokesman Tor
the group and told Frank Cousins,
Superintendent of the gang, that
the men would not strike another
lick of work" until Harry Snead,
erstwhile chain gang guard was re-
instated Snead was recently re
moved from his position after 1t
was discovered that he was under
bond as a bootlegger in the United
States Court. The three guards
we're powerless to compel the men
10 90 to work and an awkward
situation presented itself. One OF
the guards took HALEY aside and
tried to mediate the differences,
but HALEY is reported to have been
defiant and to have told the guards
that he would rot" sooner than go
to work. HALEY was then carried
to a post standing in the midst OF
the quarry and he was chained 10
II with his hands high above his
head. This action against the ring
leader had its effect and the men
vrnt to work with their hammers
making little rocks out of big ones.
At the end Of 50 minutes HALEY IN
the hot sun said that he had enough
and he went TO work with the rest
of the men. HALEY will be dealt
with in the police court tomorrow
morning. Snead, who is to be tried
today for wounding q negro escap-
ing from the gang, has proved, ac-
cording to Cousins, a very popular
guard with the chain gang.
