Sunday morning. Many persons
were slightly injured during the
course of stone-throwing on the
part OF the rioters and charges by
the troops. *
The riots were resumed today.
Many more shops. were looted and
serious disorder occurred when
troops were called to stop the sack
ing of stores in Lodge Lane, lead

ers and troops, in which one man
was severely wounded.
A mass meeting of 5000 trade
unionists in the stadium tonight
adopted a resolution declaring COM
mon cause with the police strikers,
but deprecating looting on the
ground that it gave the government
an excuse for employing the mill
tary.
Late tonight rioting was renewed
in the London road district, with
window smashing. Blank shots were
fired over the huge crowds with
little effect. Special police and
plain clothes men were unable to
dispense the mob and uniformed
officers were called. These charged

Practically the same situation pre-
vailed in Wabash yards. Two ma
chinists, three boilermakers and to
helpers quit in the roundhouse
and about rs men in the car repair
department. This was sufficient,
however, TO tie up the freight trains,
but enough men remained on duty to
care for the passenger trains.
There was a general spirit of op-
timism, however, and most, of the
men who were willing to utter even
half dozen words, expressed the
opinion that they would not be idle
long. Questioned as to the atti-
tude toward the passenger service
stony silence was the only result.
Yardmasters of the other rail-
roads denied that any of their men
quit and declared that all trains were
being operated.

81 have only good things to say
of the French said Byron Rohr-
baugh of Omaha, during visit to
Nebraska headquarters the first of
the week. Il will say that every
place in France except in Paris the
people are about 200 years p~hind
the times. You see during the &C
tivities in France the Anne can boys
really saw only Frances back door.
We did not Sc it at its best. If the
Frenchman should come to America
under the same circumstances it is
likely he would only see the back
door of the real America and might
not form any higher opinion of our
country than many of the dough-
boys formed of France. All this
should be taken into consideration
by the Americans when they find
such a hard time finding something
good to say about France. The boys
who went to the university met
better class of French and those
who had an opportunity to go into
French homes were finely treated.
Just how much the boys accom-
plished at the university overseas is
hard to say, but it certainly was not
an atmosphere to call forth serious
study"
