va way strike assumed a more serious as.
spect to-day. Every car barn in the
City WAS surrounded by large crowds
which stoned the buildings, and in
some instances drove off the police

STATIONS, and for the most part did
not go near the barns at all. The
largest mobs were at the Third and
Burlcigh street barns, where the pa
troll wagon was twice called out and
where two arrests, the first of the
strike, were made.
At all the barns mohs numbering
from 5000 to 5000 were gathered. At
each there was more or less dis
turbance, and a number Of non-union
men who took the strikers places
were assaulted. Two car inspectors
were rescued by the police from a
large mob.
At a meeting of strikers and repre-
sentatives of the electrical workers of
the city it was decided that the cleo,
tricians in the power house should
walk out. All the electricians in the
city will be included about 300 in
number. Shortly after it became
known that the electicians would take
this action. it was announced by union
