thrown from a place where the union
pickets occupied a tent. The picket de-
flare they did not throw the missiles,
but the strikebreakers evidently believed
they did, for revolvers were drawn, and
in a few momenta a fierce battle was
going.
A riot call wa sent to the police
station and a large detail of police
rushed to the scene. They called upon
the strikebreakers to cease firing, but
their command was either misunder

to let the police alone, for the car crew
turned on the bluecoats and the latter
responded.
The five men fell at the first volley
and lay writhing on the ground.
In the meantime, the car bad been run
back to the barn, and the men inside
opened fire on the police, who besieged
the place and demanded surrender. The
700 men inside continued the firing upon
the police until they were peremptorily
commanded to cease. The barn was then
surrounded by the police and at day
break a large number of arrest were
made.
The union men claim the riot was de
liberately planned by the company to
create sympathy for the strikebreakers
and convey the impression ffiftt the
union sanctions violence. They claim to
have had advance information that the
riot wua, to take place.
