Strike Breakers Beaten.

The striking street car men required
just I day in which to rid Des Moines
Of the 500 odd st~rikebreakers who had
been brought into the city to man the
cars from Chicago, Omaha and Cleve-
land. The Iowa hotel, in which the i'm.
ported men were housed, was surround
ed by a great mob of union sympathiz-
ers, which demanded that the strike
breakers be turned over to it, and for
three hours kept the police busy. The
officers tried time and again to get
through the crowds, but as often were
forced to retreat and take refuge in
the hostelry.
The climax of the rioting came when
a mob of thousands of Infatuated men
and women stormed a Great Western
train upon which 40 thoroughly cowed
strikebreakers had been placed by the
police, headed for home. Brickbats,
stones and missiles of every kind were
thrown through the windows at the
frightened strikebreakers, who climbed
under the seats to escape the fusillade.
Every window in the car was broken.
The full service on all lines was
restored Sunday evening and all is
quiet again in the city.

with striking employees of the Des
Moines City Railway company, several
thousand strong, bombarded the Office
building of the company at Sixth and
Mulberg streets, in which is located the
office of General Manager ]. R. Harri-
gan, and shattered every window in
Harrigan's Office. Then the crowd be-
gan to beat out every window in the
building. Despite all efforts of the
police, the fusillade did not cease until
the windows were broken and the build
ing badly damaged.
Leaders of the rioters, unmindful Of
a court mandamus ordering the strike
to be ended, made infammatory
speeches before the attack on the build
ing began. An attempt to enter the
offices was blocked by the police until
the arrival of the reserve squads. The
leaders said they wanted to get Har-
rigan if he was in the office, if not, they
would take his desk and furniture and
smash it up. Twelve arrests were
made.
After a day, marked with many riots,
wild hunts for stri~kebrtakers, assaults
and broken heads, striking employees
won a partial victory when Judge Law
renee De Graft issued a mandatory writ
of Injunction is district court ordering
the city railway and its employees to re-
sumo the service as before the strike
within a reasonable time.

parades. meetings and demonstrations
Today he gave out the following state
ment with the request that 1t be sent

appreciate and am deeply
touched by labors demonstrations
and l take this opportunity of ex-
pressing my heartfelt thanks to
friends and co-workers for the time
and energy put forward to make the
labor day celebrations a success, and
particularly for the share Of attention
my and my brothers cause have re-
ceived in the demonstrations and by
orators at all points.
II also take this opportunity OF
thanking co-workers and friends for
the sacrifices and the efforts put forth
in raising the necessary funds for the
defense against the unjust and untrue
cnarges tnat nave peen lodged against
us.
The part of the funds intended for
a full and final prosecution of the
persons responsible for our deporta-

hearty approval. | believe that this
is the proper time to settle once and
for ali the question of the abduction of
labor men and their bounding by ire
sponsible private detective agencies.

vantage of and nothing should be
left undone TO prevent future recur-
