- st. Louis, May 21.The street rail-
way strike situation is without MAJ
terial change so far as the number
of cars in operation is concerned. So
far as can be learned, the ST. Louis
Transit company has in operation on
"A of the 81 lines composing it's sys-
tenn, about $50 cars. A comparison
of that number with 500 which were
in operation before the strike began
indicates very clearly under what adj
verse conditions the Transit company
is laboring. On the part OF the street
railway company it is claimed that
the want of proper protection of the
lines is one cause for this condition,
but the strikers declare that the COM
pany has not enough men with which
to operate more. r.. ...-~t +
During the past few days the inter
ference by mobs has become so gen.
eral and the casualties reported so
many, that it is stated the authorities
will arm the police officers guarding
the cars with shotguns, loaded with
buckshot. They will be instructed, it
is stated, to fire into mobs which at
tempt to interfere with the running

Many Men In Hospitals.
So far nearly 10 employees of the
Transit company mostly motormen,
have been under the surgeons care
since the Strike began. Most of the
cases are rifirg, cuts and bruises from
fists or rocks, predominating, but there
are some serious ones in the number.
In many of the sheds and powerhouses
of the St. Louis Transit company hos
pitfalls have been esta blished, and there
are patients in almost all of them. The
patients are employees of the company,
wounded or beaten by crowds of strik-
ers or their sympathizers.
Resolve on sympathetic Strike.
The action of the Trades and Labor
union in adopting a resolution recon-
1nending that labor unionists quit work
on call from the executive commit tee
of that body, has put different aspect
on affairs. and complicated matters. It
remains to be seen, however, how many
Of the different unions will order a
sympathy strike. Each union must
settle the matter for itself by three
