The London Times OF this date said
that whatever might be the result OF
the Civil war in America it had
reached a point in which 1t was a
scandal to humanity 1t had become
war of determination, Utter de
struction might be possible, or even
imminent. but submission was as far
off as ever. Persons who listened to
the excited railers on either side
might think that there was no al
tentative but 20 let a flood OF blood
pass over the land; but, at that calm
distance, it might perhaps be wisely
calculated that such voices did not
represent the mind of the American
people. Both parties ought by this
time to be tired OF the strife. There
had been enough blood shed. fortunes
enough made, losses enough suffered,
and wrongs enough inflicted and en-
dured. The opportunity ought to be

R|OT|NG AND
SHOOTING IN
DULUTH STRIKE
No One Hurt in Exchange
Of Shots, But Several
Strikebreakers on Cars
Get Rough Treatment.

Duluth, MIMI, sept. 13.-HOOQIumS
took possession of all Duluth's streets
and with the striking street car en-
ployes as an excuse rioted for hours in
all parts of the city. Non-union car
conductors and motormen were beaten,
the cars and other property Of the
company was wrecked and in one in
stance shots were fired in defiance of
police who tried to disperse a parti-
cularly vicious crowd near the car
barns.
At least two OF the strikebreakers
who were brought to this city from
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee
were seriously injured by mobs and
nearly dozen others we're stoned and
driven from their posts. The authori-
ties asserted that the riot leaders
were iron workers employed in boiler
shops and foundries.
The police force found itself out
numbered In almost every instance.
As fast as one disorder was quieted
another would break out blocks away
and several times the officers were
confronted with the task of appearing
in three places at once.
Because Of conditions, company Of
ficials and commercial interests Of the
city declared that troops were neces-
sary and plans were laid for appealing
to the governors Office at st. Paul for
aid.
Violence broke out today when a
strikebreaking motorman bumped of
the track an ice wagon driven by a
strike sympathizer Immediately a
mob formed, the glass was knocked
from the street car and the crew Of
the car was routed Another crew
boarded the car, turned on all power
Three cars were wrecked and sever
al passengers were assaulted and a
conductor and motorman escaped the
fury Of another mob only by flight
early today. The crowd on one car,
composed, It, is said, of men from the
iron plants, tore up the seats and
threw them at the conductor.
The first revolver shooting of the
strike was reported this afternoon
from the mob at the car barns. No
one was hurt, although it is declared
a dozen shots were fired by rioters.
The police did not return the fire.
Conductor Hurled Through Window.
On Lake avenue, in the heart of the
city conductor was dragged from a
car this afternoon and SO badly beat
en- that he had to be helped from the
street to drug store after being
thrown through plate window. His
motorman attempted to help him and
received beating. Iron workers from
the boiler shops near the bay are said
to have handled the men. An uncon-
scious conductor was taken to drug
store on the west side where 1t was
found he was seriously injured and his
car was dismantled. The police gave
fight to the mob. There is not whole
window left within block Of the car
barns.
Rain added to the difficulties of
citizens forced by the street car strike
to walk today. Mayor McCuen is
preparing to call a meeting Of the city
council to give authority to start suit
and the city attorney is ready for
prompt action. The methods used by
Judge Lawrence DeGraff to settle the
Des Moines difficulty, will be invoked
here. There was no violence last
night.
