Street Railway Asks Protection
From Acts Of Violence.
TROOPS SENT TO The SCENE

Mob Appears

Toronto, June 23.-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 traffic
and the temper shown by the strikers and
their sympathlEers convinced the officials
that Il would be impossible to run cars
without strong protection.
AN APPEAL FOR TROOPS.
II was, therefore, decided to appeal to
the authorities for troops and to suspend
operations until their arrival today
Stones, sticks, eggs and stale veg
etables were the weapons adopted by
the strike sympathizers 10 prevent the
railway company from giving service.
Several of the imported men were roughly
handled by the mob and Motorman john
son came near losing his life.
Yesterday morning cars were started
simultaneously from the barns at King
street, West Yorkvllle. Dundas and
Yongo streets. A crowd had gathered
about the entrance OF the barns, awaiting
Developments. The appearance OF car
at the Congo street barn was the signal
for hooting and yelling by the crowd.
The car was run out TO the main track
and the COZ 'uctor gave the motorman
the signal TO 60 ahead. The crowd
called upon the crew to desert tho car.
SCENES OF VIOLENCE.
Their refusal to DO so was followed by
N shower Of stones and bricks. Every
window In the car was smashed. and the
crew ran from their posts into the barn.
Similar scenes occurred at the other
barns.
The attempt to run out FIVE cars at the
King street east barns at 8 o'clock was
attended by scenes of the greatest disor-
der and violence, several persons being
injured by flying missiles, including w.
H. Moore, private secretary TO Mr.. Mac
Kenize president OF the road and three
badly shattered.
At the Dundas street barns another
crowd intercepted the cars and they were
turned back. The company then decided
TO abandon the effort until Monday.
MILITIA Is CALLED OUT.
Meantime the civic authorities were
communicated with, and II was decided TO
call out the militia. Seven hundred ana
