STRIKE SYMPATHIZERS STONE
TRICK

Deputy Sheriff Louis Seth reports
that alleged strike sympathizers of
Philadelphia stoned and halted two
large trucks of the Pioneer Paper
Company of Philadelphia along the
Elkton-G Glasgow Road, on Creswell
Hill, about a half-mile east of Elk
ton, Thursday night. Two cars,
with 10 men, trailed the trucks over
the Maryland line from Delaware,
one of the cars running ahead and
stopping directly in front of the head
truck causing the driver to drive in
the ditch. The other car stopped di-
rectly back of the second truck, the
occupants alighting. A number OF
stones were thrown through the cab
windows, but the DRIVERS were unin-
jured. When several other cars came
in sight the supposed strike sympa-
thizers jumped into their machines
and drove off. The supposition is
that the trouble was the outgrowth
of the recent truck strike in Phila-
delDhia.
