THE ST. LOUIS STRIKE.
End of the street Railway Trouble
Seems ms Far Away ns Ever
Sunday Riot.

st. Louis, May 2S.-This is the twen-
ty-first day of the street railway strike,
and the end seems as far away as ever,
both the '"ansit company and its en-
ployes standing firm in their respective
positions. Not car on the Transit
company's system has been run since
the strike began without police protec-
ton. In consequence of there not be-
ing enough police to guard the 500 or
more cars usually operated, less than
quarter Of that number has been run
by the company over only part of its
% divisions and lines. Since the Sth
of May, when the strike began, there
have been numerous collisions between
the police and the strikers and the lat
ter's sympathizers. Hardly a day dur
ing that time has passed without some
body being wounded by bullets or in
jured by flying missiles and police
clubs. The list of casualties presents
four persons shot and killed, % wound
ed by bullets and so or more injured
in other ways. Two of the killed were
innocent bystanders, striking motor
man and an emergency policeman COM
pleting the number. Several of the
wounded are in critical condition and
may die.
1t is estimated by the strikers that
less than so of their 1926
who struck have returned to work.
These, with the street car men import
ed from other cities, are operating the
Transit company's cars. 1t is asserted
that at least 80 of the imported men
have joined the strikers. All he points
| at issue between the company and its
! striking employees have been agreed to
except that of reinstating all the men
who went out in their old positions.
The company refuses to displace the
men they have hired since the strike
began, while the strikers decline to
| sign any agreement that does not give
all the old men their places again. Sew
eral attempts have been made TO bring
the employers and employees together,
but without success, and thus the mat
ter stands.
AS the result of an encounter Sunday
night between striking and nonstrik-
ing employees of the Transit system
three men were shot, one being fatally
AS Philip Sullivan, james Sulli-
van and Patrick 0'Connell. strik-
ers, were passing through Lafayette
park they were approached from the
rear and fired upon by three men said
to be in the company's employ. One
of the bullets passed through Philip
Sullivan's right lung, giving him a NOR
tai wound. James Sullivan received a
ball in the left cheek and O'Connell was
shot through the right leg. Accounts
of the affair differ, some bystanders
claiming that il was a deliberate at
tempt at assassination on the part of
the company's new employees. while
others aver that it was nothing
more or less than a pitched battle be-
tween the two factions. 4 riot call wa
at once sounded, but the three un-
known men had made good their es-
cape by the time of the police arrival
on the scene.
