Murray citizens and city offlials will meet Monday night and endeavor to devise de-vise some plan for ridding the smelter town of the foreign labor element. The meeting is largely the outcome of the recent re-cent attack on Mrs. Gustave Schwan. Some of the leading officials of the city are of the opinion that the town is going steadily down hill on account of the foreign for-eign element and are of the opinion that their only salvation lies in getting rid of this element. Some talk of violence has been Indulged In. but such talk does not meet the approval of the belter element of the citizens. Greek and Austrlnns to the number of about 200 left Murray Sunday night on account of an assault which was made on a member of the foreign colony. The trouble occurred In front of a saloon and was the outgrowth of some words pver the Schwan outrage. Those who left congregated con-gregated near the Rio Grande depot, but It Is thought that they will return to work Monday. It Is said that many of the AOstrians are armed and what the final outcome In the matter will be no one can tell. The conservative con-servative element talks peace, but all agree that the foreign element is no longer wanted in or around Murray. |
