Several More Lives Taken in Kentucky Labor Troubles. Leaders of Queen and Crescent Men Try to Stop Traffic Until Settlement. Somerset, Ky.. March 17. —Following a calm of twenty-four hours along this division of the Queen and Crescent, which has been virtually in control of strikers and strike sympathizers since last Friday, trouble broke out again at Glen Mary, which was the scene of the wildest excitement Sunday night Three men are reported shot Two of the wounded are white and one of them was from Cincinnati. At Kings Mountain, a dispatch states, one fireman was shot dead, another seriously wounded and a guard who was in the cab on duty was seriously wounded. The strfke leaders refuse to discuss the question except to say that they intend stopring the traffic in this division unless a settlement is reached. The road officials claim that the reports which are made by passengers arriving here are overdrawn and that only a few- have been killed or injured since the strike began. < As fuel is exhausted many of the big firms along the line have shut down and several hundred are out of employment.
