2 Happenings of a Day in Central Pennsylvania WHISTLES CALL STRIKERS BACK Waynesboro Employers Write Workmen to Return, As suring Protection Waynesboro, Pa., Sept 24.—Con fident that at least 50 per cent, of their employes would return to work this morning, the whistles sounded the call for toll at 7 o'clock at the plants where workmen have been on strike for a number of weeks. All of yesterday conferences between citizens and strike leaders were held in the hope that a satis factory solution of the strike prob lem could be made. As an evidence of their willing ness to resume operations, the em ployers yesterday sent out letters to many of their worjemen, asking them to report for work to-day and assuring them protection. The men have been out of work for five weeks and the attempt to resume opera tions follows the promise of the Srranklin county authorities that pro tection will be afforded all em ployes who wish to take their old places. Late yesterday afternoon strikers had a circular printed, calling upon the men to continue the strike by refusing to go to work. The leaders continued to advise against violence or the molesting of men going to ■work. The special deputies have had very little to do. The men are quartered at the Leland Hotel. Practically all of the deputies have had overseas experience. The men are fully equipped but attract little attention as they pass along the streets In the vicinity of the plants. Constable Walter Klipp served warrants for assault and battery upon 86 of the Waynesboro strikers, and there are fully two dozen more to be arrested. In every case the men were permitted to give $5OO bail for a hearing before Magistrate Van T. Haulman, in this place, later in the week. There are now 28 men held for court as a result of previ ous hearings for the same sort of misdemeanor, and it is entirely prob able a special grand jury and a spe cial term of court may be called to try these cases. Judge W. Rush Gil lan also has several cases of con tempt of court to try of men who ignored the ruling of the court and interfered with Frick Company de liveries of machinery and with men trying to enter or leave the shops of that corporation.
