Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 80. =
The situation in the Canadian 500,
which has been the scene Of serious
rioting by the discharged employees Of
the Consolidated Lake Su.. arior com
pany, is very grave. An assault upon
the Office building by the mob early
yesterday afternoon before the ar
rival on the ground of troops was sue
cessful, and a mass OF frenzied men
secured possession OF the ground floor
Of the building, destroying everything
movable that came in their path. A
crowd of the Office staff with drawn re-
volvers prevented their gaining ac-
cess to the upper floors Ct the building.
Every window and door in the buiids,
ing is smashed in. The arrival of the
troops on the ground armed with ball
cartridges about 2 o'clock served to

Some sembIance Of Order.

The rioters then contented themselves
with throwing stones at the building
and hurting investives at the soldiers,
who established dead line" and pre-
vented any approach toward the
building by any of the rioters. The
greatest number of the mob are of ig-
norant Italians, Firms, Norwegians
and F'renchmen, the latter perhaps
the hardest Of all to handle. All have
been drinking more or less, although
the bars finally obeyed the order to
close up. The mob is one that cannot
be reasoned with, and the man they
seem most anxious to get at is Mr..
Coyne, the assistant manager, who,
in the absence of Mr.. Shields, is in
charge of the works. Mr.. Coyne has
discreetly kept out of sight
Late yesterday afternoon the lead
ers Of the mob held conference and
demanded that the company house the
men in their hotel and boarding house

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 boarding house operated by the
company.
Considerable feeling has been
aroused over the shooting of two
Frenchmen by the police during the
trouble yesterday morning. The riot
ers say that the officers used their re-
volvers when it was unnecessary.
Neither of the men is fatally hurt,
however.
The mob threatens an attack on po-
lice headquarters with view of eff
fecting the release of all the men who
have been arrested. Both this build
ing and that occupied by the fire de-
partment is guarded against attack.
The problem yesterdays develop
ment has created is beyond the solu-
ton of any Of the company officials on
the ground. Apparently their only
hope is that the anger of the mob will
spend itself and that the men will
Get Out Of Town by Degrees.
A mass meeting ofSthe men was held
in the white house" last night and
was quiet and orderly. An attempt
was made to allay the passions of the
men by an offer made by the Brother
hood of Woodsmen, an organization
maintained among the lumbermen, to
furnish an attorney free of charge to
collect all pay checks left in his hands.
The meeting broke up without any
particular confusion or disorder
An effort was made late yesterday
to get a body of the rioters to cross
the river to the American side and
put the power house and street railway
out of commission, but it was not sue.
