stay. Moreover, the fate Of this country
depends upon the masses. II they uphold

attention to the financial condition OF

THE : LABOR RIOTS.

~ The report from Waterbury, Conn.,, and
Toledo. Ohio, are distressing to all lovers
of law and order, to all who, have the 5t'ue
interest Of workngmen at heart.
It is not positively known who was re-
sponsible for the murder at Waterbury,
but 1t is a fact that there was strike
and that there was much disorder, ana
finally armed men rushed Into car
which was manned by non-union men ana
shot the policeman In charge and the
motorman and the conductor. Whether
responsible or not, the strikers are natur-
ally held responsible for this outrage, ana
organized labor is hurt to that extent.
The situation at Toledo, Ohio accord
ing to the Associated Press reports. Is
even worse IT Is charged that the po-
lice refuse to preserve order. being In
sympathy with the strikers and scenes
of violence on the streets are many. a
large number of strikers and their SYM
.pathizers followed truck through the
principal streets, endeavoring to knock
and pull from his place non-union
i driver The mob also attempted TO do
violence to the manager of the AloreloH
Truck Company. In whirllng around q
corner q truck was overthrown and the
y manager and non-union driver were at
tackled by the mob and severely punish
ed,
The report proceeds:
.'In the melee, the two objects of the
attack escaped into restaurant. where
mattresses screened them from and de-
fled the bowling mob that was at thell
heels until the police interiered. The po'
lice escorted the fugitiyes to safety, bu,
Il then gave notice that any further provo
cation given the strikers would be the
fault OF the employers. and they would
not interfere hereafter. Later, the re-
port was received that an attempt had
been made to throw 'scab driver Into
The river, but had been frustrated by
The police. MOI half an hour later an
other non-lnion driver was thrown from
a truck in front of the Moreion truck
office and at the point of a revolver was
compelled TO run for his life. Similar
fate befell a non-union teamster within
block OF tho police station. Police
Sergeant Conway, the only officer de-
Jailed 10 watch the case, says that the
employers precipitated the trouble by
threatening TO brain any union teamster
y who attempted to climb on one of theis
trucks"
The inference is that the owners OF
Y these trucks should have allowed them tc
be invaded by the strikers and should
have Offered mo- resistance to any at
tempt that the strikers might make tc
pull the non-union drivers off their seats
and rake possession OF the vehicles.

to the divorce proceedings between Mr.
and Mrs Burdick; she as a member OF
the dancing club where the people Of the
Burdlck coterle were won't to assemble.
and the Pencils name came into pron1i-
nence. too, by reason Of a phone con-
versation between Burdick and Mrs.
Paine on the afternoon preceding the
night when Qsurdick's skull was smashed
to pieces in his den
We do not remember to have seen pub
lished anywhere any explanation OF how
It was that the police, or the reporters,
learned there had been phone con-
versation but possessed Of that infor-
nation, the natural inquiry made Of
Mrs. Paine was, What was that CONVEX
satlon about?
According to one account, Mrs. Paine
said Burdick asked her II the Pencils
would be at the next dance, adding that
he would not be there II they were to
be present According to later account,
Mrs. Paine was keeping. track OF thd
movements Of Pennell, whom Burdlck
feared, and to protect himself from whom
he carried a pistol. Pennell he charged
with being the destroyer Of hts Our
dick's) domestic happiness.
But no matter, within q few days past
it was published far and wide that the
phone conversation between Burdick,
and his neighbor. Mrs Paine, referred
to Pennell, and Mrs. Paine seemed to be
aiding Burdtck to- keep track Of his adver-
sary. Now, upon the heels of that news,
we hear Of an automobile accident in
which Pennell is instantly killed, and his
wife Is fatally wounded probably. That
they both had been laboring under great
stress of mind is certain, but that they
committed suicide rs some suspect,
seems not dcmonstrahle. s
The Buffalo detectives have difficult
case to deal with. They have suspected
first one and then another person-only
to have that person prove an aHbl. Pen
nell's alibl they looked upon as weak,
but they dared not question 1t without
being full-landed with proof. It occurs
to- us, however, that Pennel was not
q man whom Burdick would have invited
to his den to eat and drink with him
Their enmity WAS too deep-rooted. Bur
dick was carrying pistol to defend
himself against the correspondent and that
weapon was found In his (Burdtck's)
coat-pocket after death.
Burdick had divorce suit against
Mrs. Burdck and she had one against
him, and several other divorce suits in
the dancing club seemed to have been
impending.
BY the way. 1t Is not true that these
people moved in the first circles OF But
falo society. They held up their heads
pretty well, but We're not on tho top
round In the social scale.
How much the divorce mania that ex-
listed in Buffalo Is responsible for these
troubles is a question-one however, that
may be discussed moro intelligently when
the facts are better known. Meanwhile,
we hear that Burdick's fine gold watch
is missing, and 1t is supposed to have
been taken from his person, and (ac-
