MOB STOPS STREET CARS
Attempt of Toronto street Railway
IL Frustrated by strik-
ing MotOrmen.

TORONTO, June 22.-The FIRST attempt
made by the Toronto street railway to run
their cars with men hired to take the places
OF the striking motormen and conductors
was met with violence. Only one effort
was made to reopen the trafic and the
temper shown by the strikers and their
sympathlzers convinced the Offices that 1t
would be impossible to run cars without
strong protection. IT was therefore decided
TO appeal to the authorities for troops, and
to suspend operations until their arrival to-
morrow.
Stones. eggs, and stale vegetables were
the weapons used by the strike sympathiz-
ers to prevent the railroad company from
giving a service. Several of the imported
men were roughly handled by the mob and
Motorman johnson, an old employe OF
the company came near losing his life
The worst riots occurred at the corner OF
Schollard and Yonge and Bloore and Yonge
streets. Very few arrests were made.
This morning cars were started stimuli
taneously from the barns at King Street
West, Queen street, West Yorkville
Dundas and Yonge streets A crowd had
gathered about the entrances OF the barns
| awaiting developments. The appearance
of a car was the signal of hooting. The
car was run out, and the conductor gave
the signal for the motorman to go ahead.
The crowd gave the signal for the crew to
desert the car, their refusal was followed
| by cloud Of bricks and stones. The
| crew left the car and ran into the barn.
Similar occurrences were witnessed at the
other barns.
MOtOrman's Face Cut.
At the Belt line a large stone was thrown
against a car window, dashing the glass
| into Motorman Johnson's face, badly lacer-
| ating 1t. He was struck by a number of
! stones and was otherwise maltreated.
johnson persevered, however, and made the
| circuit of the line. The attempt to run
out five cars at the King street barn at
o'clock was attended with great dis
| order, several persons being injured by
| flying missiles, including w. H. Moore, pri-
| vate secretary to Mr.. Mackenzie, president
| OF the road, who was severely injured in
| the face by a brick. Three arrests were
made. All five cars were badly shattered
in less than five minutes after they made
their appearance.
Motorman Quigley was struck on the
head by a stone and badly injured.
| At the Dundas street barn another crowd
met the cars and they were turned back.
The company then decided to abandon the
effort today.
Meantime the civil authorities were com
municated with and 1t was decided to call
out the militia. Seven hundred and fifty
mounted men from the Niagara company,
consisting Of $50 OF the governor general g
bodyguard 200 Rifles and $50 men of the
First and Second dragons, left Niagara
| tonight and will arrive at daylight In
addition 200 of the Queens Own, 300 Grena-
diers and 200 Highlanders have been or
dered to parade at the armories. Several
hundred extra policemen were also sworn
