Trouble with the Striking MGchinlsts In
w. Columbia. Z,

{
( COLUMBIA, s.. c., June 2S.--The
Southern railway chops in this city
were attacked about $50 this morning
BY q mob OF several score men. No
damage to property was attempted ex-
cept to break through the high FENCE
surrounding the yards. The strikers
were alter the no3-union lab0rcrs and
made for o car in which twenty were
sleeping. A msc. -.heesSs .h.eessSs na1as. 4, sa;,ii
ito be Meyers was on guard. He fired
both barrels of his gun into the crowd,
receiving himself q 82-caliber bullet
in his forehead, but the skull! wss moi
penetrated.
The mob fired q great many bullets
into the car in which the men we're
sleeping. None Of the non -unionists
were wounded, but afterthey had been
dragged out of the car were pretty
roughly treated They were marched
up the railroad track several miles and
ordered to travel on north.
Later liz the day all but one of these
men were brought back to the city by
an expedition sent out from the chops.
It was not until this afternoon that it
was known any Of the rioters had been
wounded. Close inquiry developed
the fact that the wounds of four men,
at least one serious, had been dressed
this morniug by two physicians. The
doctors said they did not know the
names Of the men.
The strike leaders and the head men
lin the labor Unions that have supported
the striking machinists, regard the at
tack this morning as most unfortunate
from the standpoint of the strikers,
A number of the most influential
strikers did not know, so it ia said, of
the contemplated attack. A half dozen
police are stationed at the shops to-
might, bnt no further trouble is antici-
lipated, for the present at least.

for myself, do not believe that we
have the right to hold any people as.
vassala and subjects. I believe that.
any people coming under ths control
OF the United States have tho proteo-
ton Of the Constitution and can enjoy
all the rights and privileges which that
document affords. Unless they have
these rights and privileges we have no
right to bring them under our srbjec-
:;Gn- think, therefore. we ought to
give the Filipinos our earnest, sympa.
thetic, and material support In their
effort to establish q gegerHs::ona1s YfH
their own, and should then set them
free and stand up for them against the
whole world.
Are the people of the United States
more imperial as :. whole than they
used to be7 1t would seem so from
the calm acceptance of things that a
few years ago created great excite
ment. 1t will be remembered how
that when President Cleveland took q
trip down tho Potomac upon Govern
ment vessel, he was savagely criticised
by the Republican press, which de-
nounced him Tor such fagrant use of
Government property for Ais personal
pleasure. A few weeks ago the Presi-
dent of the United States travelled all
the way across the continent and back
at the expense of the transcontinental
railways. which spent some e40, 200 in
order to give the President, proper
facilities and entertainment. Without
penny OF cost to himself the Presi-
dent and his party were taken across
the continent and back in regal style.
Yet no one has offered any criticism. /
