Disorder Mars Peace

Minor disorder marred the pre-
viously peaceful character of the
strike of city hosiery workers yes
terday and today. Meanwhile,
union and mill officials awaited re-
suits of reported conference of the
national labor board at Washington
on the strike situation.
The national board was reported
studying the election last October
at the Real Silk plant, in which en-
ployes voted in favor of a company
union. Now, members of the en-
ployes union, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, are
demanding that their union be
recognized.
Several alleged acts of violence
against mill workers not on strike
have been reported to police in the
last twenty-four hours.
Four men we're arrested yesterday
afternoon on disorderly conduct
charges after they are alleged to
have chased two Real Silk workers,
who just had left the plant, in a
car.

ploye, reported a brick was thrown

from car and struck him in the
mouth. as he was on his way to
