DETROIT, April 24-This city is having
an experience of the inevitable rioting in

The strike began Tuesday and was pre-
cipitated by the company discharging
number of employees who were organizing
the men for the purpose OF striking at a
later date. This taking of a strike by the
forelock. as it were, was met by the men
leaving their cars almost en- masse, and
since then the street car companies, as
well as the police force, have had hard
road to travel. Riotous demonstrations
were begun as soon as the company put
new men to work. Cars were thrown
from the track, mobs collected about the
barns, and Wednesday night the track
itself was torn up in several places. Six
hundred stove moulders quit work yes
kerday to help the strikers prevent rail-
way travel, and succeeded admirably.

The climax was capped. however. when
the 1,500 employees OF the mayor quit the
big shot factory and marched to the city
hall, headed by their own band, to inform
