WAGE RIOTS

COPPER TRUST EMPLOYEES BENT
ON DESTRUCTION.
TROOPS SAVE PROPERTY
Timely Arrival of Soldiers Prevents
Total Destruction of Factory by

pany.

Saulte Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. -.
The Canadian 500 has been the
scene of serious rioting by discharged
employees of the Consolidated Lake
Superior company all day and the
situation is very grave
An assault upon the office building
by mob yesterday afternoon before
the arrival of troops was successful
and a mass of frenzied rioters secur.
ed possession of the ground floor of
the building, destroying everything
movable that came in their path.
The office staff, with drawn reyoIv.
ers, prevented the mob from gaining
access to the upper floors OF the
building. Every window and door in
the building was smashed in. The
arrival of troops on the grounds,
armed with ball cartridges, served
to restore some semblance of order,
The rioters then contented them
selves with throwing stones at the
building and hurting invectives at the
soldiers, who established dead
line" and prevented any approach TO-
ward the building by the rioters. The
special animus of the mob seemed
directed at Mr. Coyne who is at pres
ent in charge of the company's works.
Late yesterday afternoon the lead
ers of the mob held a conference and
demanded that the company house
the men in their hotel and boarding
house and feed them until the money
for their wages is forthcoming. In
order to appease the crowd this de.
mand was granted and the men have
taken possession of the white house,
a large clearinghouse operated by
the company. Provisions arc being
sent there to feed them. 1t is est
mated that there are 1000 men in the
500 and these are reinforced by all
the idle men in town. The local no.
lice force is being strengthened and
armed and has been instructed to use
revolvers whenever necessary.
