that a number of the king and perhaps ar some of their friends have been congregating near the denver rio grande shops on neutral territory and have been bantering the workmen who are employed in the shops t nd roundhouse or other employee emp loyes who have talen the places of the strikers it id I said that some thirty or forty spent not a little time down in the vicinity of the shops a couple of nights ago and very st ong language waa was used on both sides it ia is just euch such as ame intended in a harmless way nt at first leads to serio y u trouble later leads to riots riza injuries aud possible deaths and when encouraged or in by strikers at oine onto dissipates the sympathy the general public has for them iu hi the first place no so strike has ever eer been won on b disorder or by irl iti ll 11 riots the news neis sincerely emly hopes that none of our striking king i shop men many of whom ore are old timers here and find hav ha e families will nill encourage anything of this
