CAR MEN
ON STRIKE
FIERCE SCENES AT CITY
OF SALT LAKE, UTAH.
NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED MEN
QUIT WORK LAST SUN.
DAY MORNING.

Salt Lake, April ga strike was
declared on the streetcar lines of the
Utah Light and Power Company Sun
day, $50 men walking out. Numerous
scenes of disorder followed attempts
made by the company during the morn
ing to operate few cars with non
union crews, and all efforts to main
tain even a partial service were soon
abandoned.
The vote in favor of the strike was
unanimous, over 800 of the $50 motor
men and conductors employed by the
company casting their vote.
Announcement was in fact made on
Friday that arbitration had been
reached. This followed several CON
ferences between Mayor Thompson
and committee of citizens on the
one side and President Bancroft of the
company on the other. Mayor Thomp-
son on Friday carried to the men as
surances that Mr.. Bancroft had
agreed to arbitrate the question now
and other matters later. This was
satisfactory to the men. But yester-
day i'll written communication to
Mayor Thompson, Mr.. Bancroft made
it plain that the company's attitude
had not hangcd-namely, that it was
perfectly willing to arbitrate the
wage question at once, but could not
bind itself to arbitration of other and
future grievances, even the nature OF
which could not at present be fore
seen.
Eggs Are Thrown.
The scenes of disorder that marked
the beginning of the strike took place
on Main street, between Brigham
istreet and South Second street
The leaders of the demonstrations
against the men who were trying to
operate the cars were strike sympa-
thizers, mostly half-grown boys and
irresponsible men. The strikers
themselves, took no part in the dis
turbances. Hundreds of people were
on the streets, but most of them were
spectators. The weapons used were
mostly eggs, and these were thrown
by dozens. The strike sympathizers
also cut trolley-pole ropes and in
some instances dragged the non
union mOtormen off the cars. The
police seemed powerless. An end to
the disturbances was accomplished
when car marked "U. S. Mali was
brought into action and towed the
othal7 cars back to the barns. No
Eattempt was made to modest the mail
car. In spite of the liveliness of the
demonstrations against the non
unionists no one was seriously hurt.
Joseph Jones, special deputy
sheriff, received rOugher treatment,
perhaps, than any one of those who
were operating e. Guarding the cars.
He was surrounded by a mob and
when he drew a pistol his weapon
was wrestad from him. He was saved
from serious injury by the Intervention
of the police.

ness In Texas. where they have estab-
lishments at Waco and Dallas.
1t has been known for some time
past that the Herveys were endeavor-
ing to get their hotel interests within
smaller territory than they are at
present. and apparently the project of
securing the new hotel in Montgomery
is in line with that purpose.
1t is said that should the Herveys
secure the new hotel in Montgomery
that George H. Hervey. who Is now in
active charge of the Bienville in Mo-
pile, viii remove to Montgomery to
take Immediate charge, while one of
the brothers in Texas will take his
place at the Bienville. In that event
e. b. Hervey would act In large
measure as manager of the series of
hotels, dividing his time between Mo-
bile and Montgomery.
. No name has yet been selected for
the new hotel, but Mayor league was
yesterday in receipt of a number of
additional suggestions. prominent
among which were: THE Alamont,"

graduating exercises of the Normal
Department of the Agricultural and

held last night and the annual address
was delivered by Charles Stewart, of
Chicago.
Yesterday was commencement day
at the institution. and the exercises be-
gan with an industrial parade in
which three hundred members of the
several industrial classes took part.
The annual address was delivered
by DIR. Sterr of Decatur and he said
that the American race prejudice had
proved to be a motive power urging
negroes to make something of them
selves. He said that If this prejudice
had been manifested Immediately af-
ter the liberation of the slaves the ne
groes would have been spurred to
make an effort at advancement and
they would now amount to more as a

Alumni viii Hold Reunion nj

Tuscumbia, May 29.-(Special) 1.-The
fourth annual reunion OF the alumni of
old La Grange College will be held at
Leighton, this county. on Friday.
June IL.
La Grange College, in ante-bellum
days, ranked among the leading educa-
tional institutions of the South. Its
military department sent out one of
the first companies from Alabama, In
response to President Davis's call for
volunteers.
The buildings were burned by Fed
eral troops during the war and the
college passed out of existence; but
there are leading men all over the
South who were educated at this IA
nous old school and who still cherish
tender memories of their alma mater.
Among the number Is DIR. John A.
Wyeth of New York. who first conceiv-
ed the idea of these annual reunions,
which have afforded no little pleasure
to the alumni and the public as well.
A warm welcome will be extended
the cadets and alumnae of the old
college by the hospitable people of
Leighton.
The bill in Congress to pay for the
destruction of the college buildings is
progressing nicely, and 1t is believed
but short time will elapse before the
appropriation Is made.
