Police and Firemen Go on Strike for
Increased Wages.
MOntreal.-MOre than 1900 men OF
the four organized city services struck
Thursday for higher wages. The official
estimate by +. II. Decary, chairman

out was: Police, S44; firemen, $50 =;
garbage incineration department, $50 ;
engineers and others employed at the
low-level pumping station in the wa
terwOrkS, 16.
With every policeman and virtually
every fireman in the city on strike for
higher wages, Montreal is helpless in
the hands of rioters. Fire stations
have been wrecked, citizens robbed
and stores looted. Saloons and dis
orderly resorts are wide open. Law
abiding citizens are helpless to prevent
the depredatiOns of gangs Of hood
lvms.
Mayor Martin has been in confer
ence with representatives OF the 20
licemen and firemen in an effort to
reach settlement. The men are said
to have agreed to accept yearly wage
of $1,000, $1,000 and S14OO, according
to length Of service. They also want
the dOuble-shift system.
The trades and labor council is said
to have offered to act as mediating
body between the city administration
and the strikers.
