You know thut law and order must bc enforced. You know that had any persou been killed in the closiug of any of thetnills while resisting 3'our unlawful aets every man conneeted with the assemblage could have been tried and held accountable tnerefor. You know that all concerned in these unlawful assemblages are rcsponsible for any act which any 01 you niay eommit, and many of you have wives and families who will suffer in consequence of your misdeeds. I appeal to you all to assist the proper offlcers In the support of the law and the enforcement of order, in your interest, and in the interest of your families. You have no right to enter upon the premises of another without his consent. If you enter with foree and prevent any man from eam-ing on his business, or prevent any laborer fróm pursuing his accustoraed employment; or if by intimiuation such result folfows, you are guilty of offenses for which you are Iiable to imprisonment.

Alger, Governor of Michigan. The situation of the ten hour strike at Bay City has not changed materially. The saw mili oL Seth McLean A: Co., started running on the ten hour system, but was closed because the management would not sign artieles of ágreement to run on the ten-hour plan the balance of the season, or until the ten-hour law went into effect. Green & Stevens' mili started up on the ten-hour system, and tha{ withMüler Bros.' are the only ones running. The strikera made a raid on Miller i& Lewis' planing mlÜ, pulled out the flre and drove the meu away. The mili was running ten hours at usual wages. Pitts & Cranage's salt block waf shut down in a similar manner. The governor in his nddress asked the men if they would obey the laws of the state of Michigan. They answered loudlyln theaflirm ative. Wh.en Jttdge Manten spoku hu asked If the men would molest those who desii-ed to work. They said, "Yes, yes, we will stop them." He eudeavored to state the law to them, but they hissed, Jeered and marched away. Itwasafter this demonstration that the eall {r troops wss found necessary. A meeting of the inill owners was held in the afternnon at whieh resolutions were ndopted deelaring that t'icy would not yield to the demands of the Btrtfcers, and that the milis should only be run at the hours of labor and rate of woges adopted by other than the employés. The temporary weaknese of some of the mili owners incident to the acare, oecasioned by the iorcible closing of the milis Friday and Satur. day, was worn oiï and there is now no talk ojyleldlng, and unless the inill employés throw up the sponge there will be very little lumber sawing during the ensuing four weeks. The fact that there are large numbers of men who were forced by the strikers to quit work and who are willing to go to work again If assured iccurity from personal violence tends to weaken the cause of the strikers. The matter of arbitration is out of tbc questlon since every employer asserts tliat lic will not allow disinterested parties nor any organization except hls own employés to treat with him. Some of the manufacturéis state that wheu the ten hour law goes Into elïect in September they propose of thcir own acconj to adopt it.
