120 Italians at the F. G. O'Reilly & Co's camps near Nestoria on the Summitt division of the DSS&A struck Wednesday night and requested the contractors to hand over the earth with a blue ribbon tied around it. The contractors were'nt in that business, however,and promptly summoned the sheriff of the county, determined to get ride of the strikers at once and thus avoid any serious trouble. The sons of sunny Italy were hustled out of the camps by the sheriffs forces and escorted to the railway for shipment out of the country. When they got to the train and realized that they were about to make the acquaintance of a cold and unfeeling world, with no other doooble to aid them than a pair of overalls with a number and tag attached, they weakened and begged to be allowed to return to camps and go to work again.
