Three Men Killed and Several Wounded in
Battle With Strikers.
st. Louis, June 10-The day just end
ed has been one of the most eventful
and bloody since the great strike on the
st. Louis Transit began, more than q
month ago. There were numerous en-
rlotous individuals and the constituted
authorities, resulting in three deaths
and the wounding of five or more per-
sons, mostly strikers. One Of the lat
ter will die.
Those killed as the result of to-day's
rioting are:
G. Edward Thomas, striking conduc-
tor on the Choteau avenue line; shot
in breast by deputy sheriff; died on the
