Monday when officials OF the New

the workers objected to treatment
received by their foreman, and the
strikers refused to return to work
until the offending foreman was re
placed.
A spokesman for the Mexicans
stated that the rnal-trestment hae
lasted since the foreman assumed
those duties over two months ago.
They advocated the return OF a
former foreman. Charles Ahrens,

the gang by the company TO as
