RIOTING FOLLOWS
Ell PASO PARADE
Labor Day Celebration MARRIED by
Trouble Growing Out of Street
Car Strike

Ell Paso, September 4.-Rioting, an
that has been on here for two months,
followed Labor Day parade here to-
day. The rioters attacked several
street cars being operated by strike
breakers in the downtown streets,
wrecked the cars and beat the train
men. A dozen persons were arrested
on charges of melting riot and 1t is
estimated that at least SO persons were
injured in the street fighting. A fight
between a striker and an employee of
the railway company started today's
trouble. For time it seemed as though
the police, reinforced by detach-
ment of Texas rangers, would be pow
erless to quell the mobs But after
several hours of disturbances in
which rioting took place on almost all
way traffic had been suspended the
mobs dispersed. When traffic was re-
sumed a policeman armed with pistols
and a shotgun and ordered to shoot
anyone interfering with the cars was
detailed to protect each crew..
Meanwhile, all saloons in the city
were closed until further notice and
military authorities ordered all SOL
diers stationed in this district to their
camps. Tonight the provost guard pa
trolling the streets was strengthened
an. several companies of infantry were
kept in reserve for any emergency.
