ST. JOHNS SHOPS LOOTED.


Disorder prevailed at St. Johns, N. F..
all day yesterday in consequence Of the
deplorable condition of the unemployed and
their demonstration of the day before, de-
scribed in yesterdays Star. The unem-
ployed assembled early yesterday morning
and marched to the nan-of-war Tourma-
line. whose captain had promised that he
would use his influence with the authori-
ties in obtaining relief from the destitu-
ton now prevailing. His efforts were fruit
less. 1t seems. for when the crowd of I'M
fortunates appeared he referred them to
the governor. Disappointed and exas-
perated and almost mad with hunger the
men reformed their ranks and marched to
the government house. where a deputa-
ton waited upon the executive. The latter
Informed them that the government was
considering measures of relief, and advised
them, pending action on the bills to call
upon the city representatives Tor their
immediate wants.
The crowd then went to the legislative
buildings, hut were refused admission. En-
ragged they burst open the doors and
surged into the corridors. The assembly
not being in session few members were IN
the building at the time, but those who
were lest no time in fleeing from the place
The police reserves were summoned, and,
after a desperate struggle, managed to
eject the intruders.
But they returned IL the afternoon In
of the grounds in front of the structure
was solid mass of humanity. in the
midst of which foated large flag bearing
conspicuously the words, Work or bread,
while calculations of similar import were
made by the crowd. Finally, the mob.
seeing no attention was being paid to its
demands by those inside the building, made
q rush for the doors. The police were
powerless to stem the tide of the 1nfu
rated mass and many officers were in
jured.
Premier Greene promised them work In
three day., but they were starving and
three days was too long. They started to
loot the stores for food. Marching down
into the city the rioters made an attack
upon the premises occupied by Edwin Du-
der, who was recently compelled to as
sign. The crowd found the place empty,
and met with similar results in other
stores. Johnston's store, near by, then
reoeived the mob's attention. In this es
Enlistment a large quantity Of provisions
was found.
Just as they were being carried out
large force of police appeared on tie scene
and drove the mob away after severe
struggle, during which the police were
forced to draw their swords in self de-
Tense.
A body of mounted police arrived shortly
afterward and the combined forces man.
aged to keep the crowd at bay until dark
ness came when the rioters dispersed.
-Four of the leaders have been arrested.
The streets last night were crowded with
people. A guard from the war ship Tour
maline did patrol duty in front of the
principal buildings.
