massive-titanium?
liminary conference with the oihcialii.’
obout 1,000 employees of the Union
Hardware Company of this town eith-
er walked out or were driven out of
the several departments at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Several that}
ties have been advanced as to the
cause of the strike. but after a con-
?ference with the officers and with the
;employeeti, as well as the supposed
i trouble is.
l Ti'fl‘ officers of the company say
they do not know why the men went
lout. as no demands have been made
upon them, either by a committee. or
'by any individual representing a com i
iiiittee. Employees who have been
iinterviewed say that they hate no
knowledge of trouble. and that their
first lutimstiou was when the employ-
'ees in other departments rushed in
land ordered them out. Those who
tdemurred were warned that trouble
,would follow a refusal to go out. in
the lock department. one man who
’hesitated too long had his overalls
torn bit. it was learned That there
had been trouble in the shipping tie
partment about 1:30 o‘clock in the
tatternoon between the foreman and
lone of the men.
The foreman declined to talk or to
iglve the ha of the employee. lie
iaaid there it d been trouble, but said
‘that it would be unwise for him to
talk about it. This appears to have
been the thing that precipitated the
i strike.
inc-tut. M a court meeting of
the employees was held; at which the
question of demands for a increase
of wages was discussed. it was said
that the chairman of the labor coin
mittee of that meeting was a mm by
,thc name of Michael U'iiei-on. This
iman is employed in the shipping de~
. partment of the Union Hardware (‘ont-
loamy.
i Alter the men walked out, about
l'tlou of them took possession of the
Itown hall and held a meeting with
isentinela at the doors and windows to
i ployees.
Ikeep away. From information secure
ed after the meeting was over. it was
learned that there would be a demand
Efor a 20 per cent. increase in wages.
,The company has been able to get
itlirough, thus far, without any break
‘with the employees. and for the most
part the pay has been satisfactory.
. tbut the fact that some of the factories
lliave been voluntarily increasing lht'
iwages of some of the men seems in
5 have made the employees of other fac-
tories restless.
it has been said that some of the
men. after working ten hours a day in
one factory, have hired out in the
night gang in other factories. it is
understood that the factory will be
picketed in the morning.

SAN ANTONlO, Tens. March 21——
Keen interest was shown by floors.
at aiiny headquarters here today. in]
every rumor concerning the fighting
between Lilo force! of Francisco Villa
and the (‘arraan troops near Nami-
quipa. towards which American troops
were advancing last night.
The outcome of the engagement had
not. been reported by (ieneral Panth-
ing.\anti General Funstoa expected to'
get his first uewa from Mexican soon:
cos. The latest oficial reports show'
ed the three di-uchiuents of General
Pcrahing's force riding hard into the.
south. The prospects for at least om"
of them to get in contact with Villa
appouad bright.

WASHINGTON. March 2!.——An oili-
cial report explaining that difficulty of
loading in darkness was responsible
for the failure of two of the four
weapons of the Thirteenth Cavalry's
machine gun troop in the night with
Villa and his bandits at Columbus was
received today at the war department.
Press dispatches telling of the guns
jamming and caused Brigadier Gen-
eral Croxier, chief of ordinance to or
: der an investigation.
I The report, transmitted by the of-
'flcer commandins the machine gun
troop, through the headquarters of
the San Antonio arsenal. follows:—
"The reason'fof the jamming of the
{machine guns during the fight last.
Thursday morning was not. the failure}
of the mechanism to function proper-
ly. but the fact that the night was
dark and it was very difficult matter
to load the guns." Two of the guns
jammed and the other two runs did;
not jam. -
General Crozier appeared to regard
the explanation as satisfactory. as the.
troopers were fighting under the most
ad verse conditions.
