yards and leaned over their fences to
look and listen and talk it all over.
This morning the district seemed to
course.
Were Kept Moving.
There was little of the defiance in
the eyes of the watchers. They were
on the job. But an increased force
of police and special service men kept
them moving. They were not per-
mitted to gather little groups of sup
porters around them.
Motor car observers who patrol1ed
the streets Monday and even Wednes-
day morning were greatly reduced in
numbers today. At the homes of
shopmen there was an afr and spirit
of activity and from scores of them
came men with bundles and lunch
pals. Some of the old time snap and
action of the district seemed suddenly
to have revived.
To an observer of shop conditions it
was apparent this morning that more
men were on the job than when the
walkout came Saturday morning.
Hundreds of men idle saturday were
not at their work when the strike or
der became effective. This morning
every department was seemingly well
manned.
1t is probable that a smaller per-
centage of men have returned to the
car repair shops than to any other de-
partment. 1t was the car repair shops
which turned loose the greater num-
Der of strikers Saturday morning.
Maybe some of them were new men.
Maybe it was the old men coming
back. But even in the car repair
shops there was a seemingly strong
organization of workers. Long before
the final whistle blew men were walk
ing down the wide pavement to the
car repair shop gate.
Enforce Anti-Picketfn1 Law,
At the motive power offices another
force of new workers was waiting to
be assigned to service. Both skilled
and unskilled mechanics were in cor
ridors of the office building waiting to
fill ranks of men who refused to re-
turn to their jobs.
Rigid enforcement of the anti
picketing provision of the industrial
court law doubtless played big part
In opening the streets of the shop dis
trict to men who want to work. Then,
too, there were many reports that
tended to encourage the men to start
persistent press report to the effect
that union leaders themselves are now
seeking compromise.

May Make Arrests To-Day.
Announcement had been made from
the state house that arrests were to be
made today in connection with pick
citing and intimidation of the men who
earlier in the week returned to the
shops. Another report which was
current was to the effect that in order
to fill up its ranks, the Santa Fe
planned to provide eating and sleep
ing facilities inside the shop en-
closures. Seemingly it all had an eff
feet on the men and on the district.
There was no trouble during the
early morning Observers were not
permitted to interrupt men on their
way to work and the observers seem
ingly obeyed the Instructions well.
Union labor leaders continued to make
their checks of men who went to
work-where such checks were pos
sible-but there was little unnecessary
activity on the part of men assigned
to this service

Kiely also stated that the mayor

raid on the home of George Chase,

to a merciless cross examination by
Colonel Harvey, who referred to him
as "a frame-up witness" This drew
a storm of protest from Griffith and

KANSAS FARMS AMAZE HIM.
Spanish Horse Buyer Praises Modern
Life on Farms Here.

Florence, July 6.-Kansas farms
have proved a revelation to Cecilio
Marcellan, whose mission in this
country is buying horses for the Span
ish government.
The fact that all farms appear to
be on a modern basis, using modern
methods. is the strange thing about
them. I'm the small towns and coun-
try over in Spain the people seem to
cling to the very old methods and ira
ditions which have been handed down
by their ancestors, while the cities are
modern. In America everything is
modern" Marcellan said.
