WAR AMONG THE Fishermen
BELLIGERENT DEVELOPMENTS OF
THE FRASER RIVER STRIKE.
Special Police Are Overpowered by
the strikers, Who Attack Them
on BOARD One of the Cannery
steamers-Reign of Terror Exists.

VANCOUVER. B. c.. July 2i.-The first
armed clash in the Fraser river salmon
fishermen's strike took place late last
night Early in the evening a fisherman
named Stevens went out in the gulf and
had caught 100 salmon when the patrol
boats of the union overhauled him. a
rifle was held TO his head, all his fish
were thrown overheard and his net was
cut to pieces He was then allowed TO
go, being told that in future scahs would
be dealt with more severely by the union.
Later in the evening lives were nearly
lost in riot. Manager Goodson, of the
Phoenix cannery. one of the largest es-
Establishments on the river, told his nom
union men that any who went out to fish
in defiance of the union would receive
police protection. Two men in two boats
Volunteered and went out. Two can
merry steamers, on which were score OF
special policemen. followed to keep guard
over them. They had scarcely put out
their nets before eight boats, carrying
ten STRIKERS each, went out after them
and a fight ensued
The strikers captured one boat and
Then they boarded the cannery tug that
stood by. and threw the special police
men all around the. deck. None drew
their revolyers, for the strikers outnum-
We're badly cut up with knives in the
seuffle. Finally the strikers returned to
tHelr poats, ana the scaD nsnermAn was
covered with blood from the beating he
received by the time the party reached
shore. They placed the man on a box
and carried him at the head OF the pro-
cession. The strikers seriously debated
throwing him into the river but were
prevented by new squad of special po-
lice. The latter, however, did not dare
to make an arrest.
A warrant was issued this morning for
the arrest of Frank Rogers, secretary Of
the fishermen's union, on a charge of In
timidation, but 1t Is not probable II will
be executed. An emergency meeting OF
the board OF trade this afternoon tele-
graphed for the sending of the armed pa
troll boat Quadra from Victoria to Stew
eston, to protect lives and property A
reign of terror now exists at Steveston
There was talk this afternoon of calling
out the militia Canneries all threaten 10
close down by tomorrow night, IL some
settlement Is not reached. Fishermen de-
mand 20 cents for fish for the season.
while Gamers will not pay more than is
cents.
