1,400 Militia Called Out to Preserve
Order.
• •
. ••.A. • elesnatela from Toronto says:
*.Tho 'attempt of. the Street Railway
Company , to run Cats on Sunday
morning remitted in. tieting mseve•
erti1. portions cllthe city. Several
men 'were injured and eight. rietees.
were arrested. • The •ear, With wine
delve broke ti and the floors covered
with brieks and stones, were run
bark into thebarns, and' no further
attempts. were made by the cow-
. pany to eentbliele a.eervice. The
whole police force was on duty 17
• hours out •of the 24. The men
matched tt. few hours of sleep while
in the station houses by lying
around the, floors and benches!.
Twenty inoented men were on duty.
It was a complete tie-up of the
-syetem. The • non-union workmen
and conductorWere handled rough-
ly in many case'.. Two left a car
over the Don and were pursued by
a mob for a Mile. About the King
- street barn there were ecenes of
great disorder, .An attempt to
rush the barn,. where a number of
-imported men were kept locked up,
wee contemplated, but a hg
posse Of police succeedea
in removing the.men to the Yolle-
ville barn M the police patrol.. S.40
patrol was followed by a, howling
mob of strike sympathizers
Harry Webb had au order to sup-
' ply bread and pastry to the ear
barns. The contract was discon-
tinued on Sunday, and the company
• had to look elsewhere for the means
of tsustaining their imported Men.
FIVE CARS WERE STALLED.
-The pivot of the strike trouble
was in the East, End- Long before
8 o'elock a large crowd collected
leantof the King street barns at the
corner of St. Lawrence street, and
awaited the appearance of the first
car. The crowd was made up, not
of the rowdy element. as might - be
expected, but workingmen employed
in East End factories. As time
went on their numbers were increas-
ed by scores of people, who came
forth from all parts of the eity. One
of: the earliest on the scene was
John Argue, one of the company's
roadmasters, who came about 7
o'clock. Following him came W.
U. Moore, private secretary to Pre-
sident Mackenzie, in a hack, accom-
panied by eight strike-breakers, who
had been quartered at the Albion
:Hotel. Their appearance was the
signal for hoots and cat calls from
the crowd. They were escorted to
the barns by police without MIS:hap.
RUN A CAR OUT. •
it was just a little after § q'clock
when the barn doors were opened
• end car No. 878 manned by Motor-
man Whitehead, one of the oldest
empleyen .of the road, was reedy to
come out. No sooner were the
doors thrown haek than a missile
crashed through the vestibule win-
dow, striking Whitehead. The mo-
torman. turned on the power end the
car started„ on its way. It had not
reached the Don bridge before every
window was broken. Whitehead
continued to run his car, protected
by six policemen, who were also on
the front platform. The car got
through to the Woodbine, and on
• reaching that point it was run on
the Woodbine avenue switch aud de-
serted. Whitehead and his conduct-
or took to the woods, closely fol-
lowed by the crowd, who showered
stones and eggs at the fleeing men.
Fifteen minutes later car No. 866
was started from the barns and it
met with similar treatment. This
car was manned by Motorman James
Quigley, who for many years has
been on the Winchester street route.
This . car proceeded to the Wood-
bine, where it was also run on the
switch and deserted..
• SIX CARS -TAKEN OUT.
It was a sullen, discontented
crowd that gathered in the neighbor-
hood of the Yorkville barn. The ex-
citement ran high, and had it not
been for the presence of a etrong
body of police, under the command
of the inspector of the division, it
is heed tosey what damage might
• not have been done. As it was,
several cars had their windows de-
inoliehed, and it was a wonder: that
Oche in charge of them were not
seriously injured by the flying
'NOTIFYING THE SOLDIERS.
Cel. Buchan said he had been con-
snited by the Police Commissioners

ON' DUNDAS STREET.
'A large cr»v d oi s•trikers and sym-
pathizers atehanbled in front ef the
hazels at the collier of Dundee street
and Howard Park avenue early Sea -
day morning. Dave Kerney, road -
Master on the Dundas division, tock
a car out oS the barns and brought
up seven men in street railway epi-
tome who had 'been engaged in
Kingston and Ottawa. The men
were hustled towards the sheds, but
before they reached the (look strikers
get hold of them, and in a few
words explained the situation. Four
of the men refused to go into the
bares, and were, taken by the strik-
ers to the Central Committee melee,
where, they said they had 'been in-
duced to come to Toronto upon the
representation that the Street Rail-
way Company wanted men to 'take
the place of those who had been
prosecuted•fot tampering with the
fare • boxes. The 'others got inside
-the shed before the strikers had an
opportunity„ to talk with them, and
once ' beside the doors were closed
and three policemen kept guard out -
id. Between 10 o'cloek and nom,
the crowd grew from two or three
hundred to nearly as many thousand
and the arrival of more policemen
gave the impression that a car was
about to he run. The faro box,
ticket. and &lenge were given out to
one of the new conauci ors, but he
handed them back and refused to
take the car out.. About 1 o'clock
a hack drove Me with the food for
the imprisoned men, ; but an inti-
mation from the serikers that they
Were carrying a contraband of war
and would be severely dealt with if
they did not surrender, induced the
men to turn their horses around and
drive away with the grub pile.
About 2.10 a heck, precedea by two
Mounted policemen, driven by a cab
• driver seated beside P. C. Welsh,
and containing a policeman in charge
of the provisions, concealed by a big
rug, rode up. The mounted men
cleared the "'crowd away, but mis-
siles flow freely, and the cab man
was put out of business by a stone
striking him in the face. When the
rig came out half an hour later, it
was driven by the police, and rattled
away amidst a, fusilade of stones.
• ON THE BELT LINE.
W. H. Moore, secretary to the
president of the • Street Railway
Company, was nit with a missile at
the corner of Queen and Spadma
avenue, about 9.80 ana. He had
undertaken to. ruu a car from • the
Yorkville barn around the Belt
Line, down Spadina. All along, the,
why bricks and stones eVere hurled
at the car, and one of them came
through the vestibule window and
was planted fairly on the side of
Mi.Illoore's face. Mr. Moorerushed
the car through without, wasting
mach time, and ran it into the
North Toronto barns. The car was
manned by two of the company's
old employees, two detectives and
five or six police. Mr. 'Moore has.
his face in bandages.
NEWS EAGERLY AWAITED.
Throughout the day men from
other barns kept the strikers posted
upon what was., going on. These
couriers were eagerly awaited, and
soon gathered immense throngs
around them. The news that the
hoarders had packed. up their trunks
and left Yorkshire Johnson's, whilst
he himself had been forced to make
a hasty exit from a Belt Line car,
was hailed with cheer upon eheer,
and the next message, that White-
head had been chased from a King
street car into the Bay, ga•e cause
for more rejoicing. It was like read-
ing bulletinse on the night of an elec-
tion, in which the whole crowd were
on the winning side. It was 8.30
before a patrol wnggon, preceded by
two Mounted policemen, took away
the hon -union men, who, in the early
morning had been brOtight to operate
the cars. The patrol waggon passed
through a fusilade of missiles from
the car barns to Lansdowne avenue.
• CAN'T USE FIREARMS.
A inunber of the imported men
made enquiries from the police re-
garding the use of firearms in this
country. They -came from the United
States, and were under the impres-
sion that • they could carry weapons
to defend themselves. The police
had instructions to warn every wait
that it was not only an offence to
use theni but to carry them.
