San Francisco, Sept. 12. In
tensed over what they believe
was unfair treatment on the "part
the police.'of this 'city,, and also
ment over the shooting of their
comrades, the nonunion men who
are housed at the Bryant street
power-house and the Twenty
fourth street carbanis have been
making trouble for the police.
The men at the carbarns started
t another riot last night and before
quiet was restored many of the
strikebreakers were severely
clubbed, several policemen were
more or less injured and several
arrests were made.
All of. yesterday the nonunion car
men were" in a. sullen mood. Clashes
With etrike sympathisers were frequent
and both sides were to blame- for the
trouble. Strike sympathizers . gathered
near the barns and threw stones, and
. bricks. The nonunlonlstg fought back
and the incipient troubles of the day
finally culminated In a general fight at
the barns last night Riot calls were
, sent Into the Mission police station .and
were followed . by calls for reserves
from the harbor and and central police
. stations. '
The carmen refused to move from the
rront or the barns. William A. Bruce,
who seemed to be a leader among them,
was arrested after he had offered re
