SOME UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS
Paraders Attack Car Men-TwO Riot
ers Shot and Shooters Arrested.

San Francisco, Sept 3.-The labor
union parade resulted in the shooting
of two men by employees of the Unit
ed railroads. The car men We're at
tackled by the paraders and in self
defense opened fire. The trouble start
ed after the parade was over and the
crowd was waiting at the ferry to
cross the bay to Shell Mound park
The crowd was scattered around and
was frequently on the tracks where
the cars were running, the crews be-
ing that red rag to the bull when
union labor is the bull - nOn-unOn.
Just what started the riot is not known
now, but probably a car narrowly
missing some of the people OF or close
to the tracks was made the preteXt of
an attack on Inspector L. j. Hall, who
was starting the cars for the United
Railroads.
Then Conductor Watkins and Motor
man DunStOn were attacked. and they
drew pistols and turned them loose
or their asSailants. Meantime part
of the mob was attending to Hail. He
first ran from his assailants. They fol-
lowed him to the corner of Suffer and
Montgomery streets, where they over
took him.
He drew pistol and aimed at a
burly labor union man who carried
bricks III his hands. The inspector
opened fire and shot the man through
the groin. Six shots We're fired. A
riot call was sent into the police and
fire departments and a force Of police
and firemen were soon on the scene
The men who did the shooting were
arrested, but several rioters who We're
seized by the police were re-
leased, One reason why no ar
rests We're made was that the rioters
mobbed the police and released the few
who were arrested. A police lieuten-
ant said: ut took twenty officers to
arrest one man."
Following are the wounded: John
Peterson, union man, shot in the groin
