mind.
Principal item of violence recorded
during the day was the firing by
pickets upon an Omaha railway
freight train near James. north Of

had failed to stop.

a new effort to halt freight shipments.
Governor Herring said he had been
advised of the burning Of the bridge.
There was a bright spot In the In
dustrial picture. however, when John
D, Moore, New York, technical adviser
of the national labor board, Sunday
night said he hoped that instead Of
a general anthracite coal strike Mon-
day in Pennsylvania, the miners
would be back on their jobs.
