Only eleven men at the smaiter have quit work and eighty union men employed ihere absolutely refuse to go out. Serious trouble among the members of the union is imminent. Shotguns were used by some strikers to intimidate workmen, but the “citizens’ " committee, 200 strong, has taken a hand In preserving the peace. This committee, organized for the protec- tion of the lives of innocent people, is in deadly earnest in its intention to main t eace and good order. It is believed here that the trouble will be amicably set- tled in a day or two. | FOUR OF MISSING COLLIER’S CREW LANDED AT SAVANNAH {Leave the Alexander to Seek Help and Are Picked Up by Schooner.
