Striking Boys Cause a Riot.

MUNCIE, Ind., June 25. — Seventy small boys at the Hemingway [sic] Hemingray Flint Glass Works at Muncie, Ind., struck for 75 cents a day. They have been getting 60 cents. Others, who refused, to quit, were caught going or coming from the factory and assaulted. A regular riot was on for some time, and the police had to be called to disperse the youngsters, some of whom are but 7 years old. The factory will have to fill the places or close down.
