Ehe situation in the Canadian 500, !.
Which has. been the scene of serious \
EtatiRg bg.r the discharged employees
t& the Consolidated Lake Superior
company all day, is very grave. No
reiAforSBmeNts of militia have arrived
| from outside, and the only defense
against the mob, which grows hourly,
is a Ore Or less demoralized police
department. and small company Of
militiamen. An assault upon the Office
buildin&b by the mob early in the after
noon, bsforesthe arrival on the ground
of troops, was successful and a mass
of frenx5ed rioters secured possession
of the. .1round floor of the building, de-
stroyindteverything movable that came
in their~path. A crowd of the Office
staff, with drawn revolvers, prevented
!. their gaining access to the upper floors
of the building. Every window and
door in the abnilding was smashed.
J The arrival of the troops on the
ground armed with ball cartridges
about 2 o'clock served to restore some
semblarfee Of order. The rioters then
contehted themselves with throwing
: stones at the building and hurting in
vectives at the soldiers, who estab-
9 lished dead line" and prevented any

I of the rioters.
l. The gBeat6st number of the mob are
ignorant Italians Firms, Norwegians
n and Frenchmen, the latter, perhaps,
/ the hardest OF all to handle. All have
!. been d9hking more or less, although
= the bars have obeyed the order to
!. close. The mob is one that can not be
e reasoned with and the man they seem
post anxious to get at is Mr.. Coyne,
L the assistant manager, who in the alb
n Sence of Mr.. Shields is in charge of
l. the works. Mr., Coyne has discreetly
. l'Kept out of sight all day. s
y Late in the afternoon the leaders Of
i the mob held q conference and de-
It manded that The company house the
e. men in their Motel and boarding house
and feed them until the money for
n their wages is forthcoming. In order
le to appease the crowd this demand was
n granted, and the men have taken pos
y session of the White House, large
II boarding house operated by the COM
=, - pany.> PROVISIONS are being sent there
A. to feed them. AS their leaders are
I'd making the most infammable sort OF
speeches, great fears are entertained
in for the outcome Of a proposed meet.

i'd Attack on Cars Feared.
In An attempt is being made to put the
s. strsetcar system in operation in the
IS Canadian 500, which suspended opera
IN tons after an attack had been made
C. on it. Inasmuch as most of the rioters
10 were not in the streets at the time this
trial was made, no disorder occurred
as 1t is estimated that there are 10000
ca men in the 500 and these are rein
40 forced by all the idle rabble in town
-, The local. police force is being
n. strengthened by all the deputies wht
ev can be found, each man being give1
