The ou'.ureak at E«t 8. L mis to-
day Beerne to have been wnoliy un-
premeditated. The men had been
busy In the yards with bui slight in
terference nil neon, and it was
thought that the day would pass with
out any demonsira ions by the Btrik-
erp, and that it would be recorded as
one of the quietest since the strike
began. At mat hour, however, a
number of strikers, without ap
parently having formed aoy preern-
eerttd piau, congregated at ti e re: iy
depot, and began a discussion of His
general situation. As time passed,
their number was augmented unlit
the original knot of men increased
to fully two hundred The discus-
s on became animated and the orowd
more demonstrative, until pome one
prnpt S'd that they go to the L ui s
