President Lowry Of the Minneapolis & st.
Paul Street Car company issued an order
reducing the wages OF all the employees. The
company claims it has been losing money
and must retrench in order to float tile
bonds with which to build cable lines. etc.
The notice OF reduction was received by
the men with dissatisfaction. The motor
line crews struck at noon, and we're fol.
lowed in rapid succession BY the others
until at 8 o'clock the employees on every
street line in the city were out. No car has
moved in the city since o'clock. Quiet
prevails in the vicinity Of the barns, and
the strikers have agreed to submit their
grievances to an arbitration committee.
They also appointed q committee to meet
representatives OF the company should a
proposition be made.
MINNEAPOLIS, April ia car was run
out OF the Fourth avenue barns this after
noon with squad OF policemen on board.
Before proceeding twenty yards the strikers
stopped it and ran it back into the barn,

Finally some one set q brake on the rear

q squad OF mounted police dashed out
from the central police station and rushed
at full speed into the crowd with drawn
clubs. When in the center they arrested
three men and retreated.
The crowd was constantly augmenting,
and was getting very violent. 70 make
matters worse, number OF eS press wagons
filled with strikers drove in front Of the car
and succeeded in making complete block.

his horses and went off, amid the cheers OF
the crowd, leaving the car
STANDING ON THE TRACK.
A little later another on Washington av.
enue, while on it's way back, was blockaded
by two wood carts, which we're dropped on
the corner of Washington street. The driver
became disgusted, and unbitching his horses,
drove out. The situation was getting Sc
rious. A great many stones had been
thrown and excitement ran at fever heat.
Three mounted police charged upon the
crowd, throwing down several people and
injuring number. Several arrests were
made this time, and one man was unmerci-
fully clubbed by six or seven policemen.
The attempt to move cars was then aban.
doned. and the crowd became less demon
strative, and gradually thinned out, leav-
ing the two cars on the track.
Thus ended a day in which Lowry proph-
esied he would have all the cars running on
every line before night.

the advisability of stocking streams with

the necessity of keeping these ravenous
fresh-water sharks out Of all waters
W lere it is hoped to propagate any other
fish. They depopulate every stream in
which they enter, swallowing not only
the horned catfish but eating their own
