NON-UNION MEN DELIVER ICE

Put to Work at Lafayette Three Days After Union Men Strike. Lafayette, June 23. — Non-union men were put to work today by the Lafayette Consumers’ Ice company to replace strikers, and the business district had an ice delivery for the first time in three days. When the first wagon had reached Sixth and Main streets a crowd of strike sympathizers collected and induced two of the helpers on the ice wagon to desert their jobs. The company sent out more men to take their places, and policemen were called to protect the workers. No attempt was made to deliver ice to private homes, but the company expects to attempt to resume delivery in the resldence/districts tomorrow. There was a long procession of ice consumers to the ice plant today to get ice, cakes being hauled away in automobiles, wagons and- wheelbarrows.
