PAwTUcKET, R. l., June 13.-Action
which the authorities hope means the be-
ginning OF the end of the reign Of violence
incident to the street railway strike, was
taken today by High Sheriff Hunter C.
White removing his deputy sheriffs from
the street cars. He did this on representa-
tions made to him that the deputies accom-
plished no good purpose, but incensed the
crowds into violence.
After the withdrawal OF these men the
city became quiet. The 1900 troops or
dered out by Governor Kimball yesterday
are still on duty, but If conditions warrant
they will be withdrawn gradually, the first
installment to leave tomorrow. There was
no rioting during the day.
Seven men were arrested for misdemean-
ors committed on Pawtucket avenue, the
route of the cars from Providence to this
city. The lines of the Pawtucket City sys-
TEN of the Union Traction company were
not in operation and the lines In Central
Falls, Cumberland and Albion, suburban
towns, were tied. Tomorrow 1t is pro-
posed to reopen the city system under
the protection of the police, assisted by the
militia.
Shooting Winds IN Quarrel.
When the first car of the Pawtucket
avenue line reached the city today it was
guarded by companies of militia and troops
of cavalry, with machine guns trailing
along. The car was escorted safely past
the point where the attacks of yesterday
were made. The crowd was kept on the
move and as soon as there was a sign of a
demonstration arrests were made, the pris-
oners being locked up at the state armory.
They will be turned over to the police.
After that cars on the avenue were operated
without further hindrance,
The military authorities today issued or
ders to take notice of every infraction of
peace and to arrest all who refused to obey
their commands. Persons found shouting,
placing distractions on the tracks or other
wise misbehaving were arrested at sight,
and II any pronounced demonstration was
made by a mob the orders were to warn
the assemblage and then shoot If the in
functions were not needed.
The boy who was shot in the neck by
a deputy yesterday was still alive this
evening.
This afternoon Mayor Fitzgerald ordered
all the saloons closed as a precaution
against trouble tonight.
More Peaceful I'm mccall legion.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 13.-For the
first time this week there was no demon
s~tration in the vicinity of the Lehigh Valley
company's William A. colliery at Duryea
today. The efforts of the strike leaders
to have the men keep the peace have been
successful, and there was no gathering of
idlers at the colliery to annoy the work.
men.
The Lehigh Valley company has followed
a policy of keeping its guards in the back
ground, so as to avoid any serious clash,
but the attempted shooting of its division
superintendent on Wednesday night has
caused 1t to change it's method. Last night
and today extra coal and iron police were
sent to the ~colliery and they were dis
tributed around the mine in conspicuous
places. 1t is the company's intention to
take no more chances of having its en-
ployes injured.
An attempt was made late last night to
start up the pumps in the collieries Of the
Susquehanna Coal company at Nanticoke
but the effort was spoiled by the engineers
quitting work, almost in a body. There
is a very large humber of armed coal and
iron police in that vicinity, which fact
has caused much uneasiness there.
The strike drags along without any
change. Information from all parts of the
strike affected territory shows the sltua.
tion to be quiet today. President Mitchell
had nothing to give out of any importance
regarding the anthracite strike, He saiC
: the strike was complete and there wal
nothing to do but wait. He has received
no information from West Virginia tina
? shows any change in the situation there
} He repeated his assertion that the suspen'
sion in that locality is nearly complete.
