Show ( Extraordinary Boycotting. Cleveland, March ICt The boycott of J. F. Siberling, by the Trades and Labor Assembly As-sembly at Akron, Ohio, has assumed a new phase. All boarding-house keepers are informed in-formed that they would be boycotted if they gave shelter to workmen imported to take the places of the striking molders at the Empire mower and reaper works. The boycott will also be placed on the tenants of every dwelling and business house owned by Siberling in Akron, if not vacated at the expiration of the present leases. The Trades Assembly in Chicago has also been notified to take similar action regarding the buildings owned by Siberling in that city. Ferdinand Schumacher, owner of the Windsor Hotel, who has opposed Siberling in the courts, came to the latter's rescue with an offer to furnish accommodations for 'all the imported workmen, even if he had to supply them with cots in the halls of the hotel. The feeling on both sides is growing very bitter. j Fobt Wobth, Texas, March 1G. The Knights of Labor have the upper hand here. The boarding-hoase and hotels which accomodate ac-comodate the the men who take the strikers' places arc being boycotted, even butchers refusing to sell them meat. All this is true; the sentiment of the people is against the strikers, but business men are afraid of being be-ing boycotted. John Taggart, the boarding-house boarding-house keeper, was boycotted yesterday. The waterman, from whom Taggart has been purchasing his water supply for drinking purposes, refused to sell any more to him, and now he has to go two miles to secure water. His landlord, one of the best citizens citi-zens of Fort Worth, has ordered him to vacate va-cate his house. Yesterday some poison was thrown into Taggart's water barrel, and a woman and two little girls were poisoned and now lie in a critical condition. |
