Great excite ment was occasioned this morning when Robert Kuter, a union striker, was shot and fatally Injured by Adolph Eh man, a brother of Charles Ehman, the ownes of the Ehman Mantle Company. Seclous complications are almost surd to arise from the Incident as already several meetings have been called by union labor organlsatlona to take action against what la called "the despotism ofi bosses." As it happened the speedy arrival of the police at the mantle factory alone prevented the lynching of the murderer. The trouble was occasioned when Adolph Ehman appeared at the head of body of non-union workmen . whom he waa escorting to his brother's fac tory to take the places of men out on strike. He flourished a revolver In his right hand, end when near the entrance to the factory he observed a delegation of strikers who had assembled to sea his brother. Ehman told the body to clear out as several of the strikers were blocking the progress of the procession of npn-unlonlsts. Robert Kuter told Ehman that he would not leave, and without a word he was shot As he fell several union men at tempted to grab the man with the gun- but he was too quick and entered the factory and barred the doors and then 1 summoned the police. The non-union men who did not suc- ceed In getting Inside the building were roughly handled before the police ar rived. Ehman Is severely criticised by thd police and by everybody In touch wlthi , the situation, as his action was that of cold-blooded murder, as those who wit nessed the scene say that he was In no manner assaulted. Ehman was arrested and taken to the station, where he IS held without bonds. The occurrence starts afresh the war like demonstration against non-union men which began more tha,n 10 days ago. Serious trouble is expected tonight and the police have been notmed td await a possible riot call. EARTHQUAKE SHOCK STARTLES UTAHANS" eople at Ogden Ran Info tha Streets Without Waiting for Clothes.
