STRIKE RIOTS
IN PITTSBURGH.
ilObs Stone TrOIIeys and At
tack Strike Breakers.
POLICE ARE POWERLESS
Several Persons are hit by shots
fired into cars from auto trucks.
Many arrests made.

Many arrests made.
Pittsburgh, Aug. 26.-To the accom-
panlment of riotous scenes in the heart
of the business section of the city, in
which hundreds participated and thou
sands looked on, receivers for the Pitts
burgh Railways Company attempted to
resume street car service with disas-
trous results.
Of six cars leaving the Craft avenue
barns, four returned, much the worse
for wear, and two others, almost wreck
ed, were left disabled in Fifth avenue.
Several persons were hit by shots fired
by rioters who followed the cars in auto
mobile trucks. Many were arrested.
Police, mounted, motorcycle and on
foot, proved powerless in the face of on
slaughts on the cars.
Sheriff Haddock, after hurried con-
ference with Mayor e. V. Babcock and
Public Safety Director G. B. Prichard
issued proclamation calling for public
order, and was prepared, it was. an
nOunced, to take more drastic measures
Following the first results of their eff
forts to run cars, Receivers @. A. Pagan,
W. D. George and s. l.. Tone, of the
railways company, complaining bitterly
indicated they would continue to move
the cars.
However, after one car had been
stoned until every pane of glass in it
was broken, its crew mobbed, the trolley
rope cut and the car left stranded at
the city's most prominent corner, at 8
o'clock in the afternoon, and when pre-
cisely the same fate befel another car
a short time later, it was announced at
the Craft avenue car barns that the
officials did not know whether any more
cars would be sent out.
All the cars were sent out from the
Craft avenue barns, and all were manned
by strikebreakers, with private detectives
imported from New York, Philadelphia
and other Eastern cities as passengers.
From just before dawn, when 800
strikebreakers and detectives were rush
ed to the Craft avenue barns in automo-
biles and motortrucks, and entered the
barns without molestation from crowd
of strike pickets, it became evident the
receivers would attempt to move cars,
and that the centre of their activities
would be from this barn.
Shots were fred by strikebreakers
Lawn streets. Nearly a score of strike
breakers were arrested Two of the
imported men are in hospitals.
Strikers were in the thick of the at
tacks on cars the receivers sent out from
the Craft avenue barns, but the troubled
progress which the cars made indicated
also the strikers had many sympathizers.
Truck drivers deliberately stalled their
machines in the path of approaching
vehicles. Other vehicle drivers helped
delay cars whenever opportunity Of
fered. Such delays were cheered by
Aystanders.

100000 WAR BONDS
STOLEN FROM VAULT
Belonged to Employees Buying
on InSta'ImentS.

Boston, Aug. 26-The theft of $780,
600 in Liberty bonds and $500 in cash
from a vault in the office of the pay
master of the Boston and Albany Rail
road at the South Station was discoy-
cred.
Police authorities and railroad Off
Gals said they had no clue to the rob-
berry.
The robbery was committed between
Saturday afternoon and the reopening
of the vaults Monday morning The
Cracksmen are believed to have had a
key to the Office. One of the two iron
doors to the outer vault had been left
open, and the key to the other was in
the lock. Entrance to the inner vault
was gained by tunneling through brick
and mortar exposing a small safe. The
combination dial of this safe was knock
ed off and the safe forced open.
The bonds, owned by employees of
the company who were paying for them
by installments had been placed in the
vault only on Friday. This, with 9TH
er facts not disclosed, was said to in
dicate to the police officials that the
work was done by someone familiar
with the office.

MOVED FROM GREEN BAY
Makes q Cool Fifty Thousand Dollars
In Few Years by Judicious In
vestnent In Good, Black

Joe Fry, former well known Lee

| citv for over a hundred thousand
dollars in cash.
| He bought 1t for about half that
i few years ago when he moved out
tof Green Bay. He was fought hard
| In Green Bay for favoring drainage
district there, and so he sold out,
packed up and moved to where drain
age districts were better appreciated.
He sold this week 1000 acres in
the Hunt drainage district for Just
s1o1 an acre, receiving $4,000 from
Walter Meeker Of Mantle, Illinois.
He bought the land a half dozen
wears ago for from S45 TO s65 an
acre. and then that was thought a
rather high price. But Mr.. Fry knew
what he was doing.

conserved by levee system. It pro-
to nut its own lands into the district,
liz the farmers would form drain
age district there.
The land owners there, with the
single exception of the company and
Mr.. Fry, fought this idea in most
remarkable way. Feeling ran so high
that Mr.. Fry, one OF the best, most
progressive and most highly respect
ed farmers of all Lee county, was
.pstracised by his neighbors because
he openly favored drainage district
to save tens of thousands of acres OF
land. In disgust, he moved to War
saw.
Later, the waterpower company
bought the Green Bay land from the
owners, formed drainage district,
and sold the land after that, or much
Of it, at very large profit. The first
tract the company bought was the

Radical leaders of the left wing OF

determination to carry 10 the floor
their fight for drastic revision OF
what they term "the arisocracy of
labor unions"
They assert they will attack the
present conservatism and policies OF
the federation administrators. Since
the convention started, although Pres.
dent GomSers and the leaders of the
right wing have repeatedly declared
bolshevism to be non-existent within
the ranks of organized labor, many
broadsides again radicalism have been
delivered.
Secretary of Labor w. B. Wilson,
Gompers and other headliners, have
repeatedly warned against ''insidious
propaganda"
DENYING they are bolshevists, west

When Women Vote.

Knoxville Express: The Express
has always, claimed that woman
suffrage" the addition of women to
the voting population, will not pro-
duce any sudden or violent change.
AT the beginning, women will vote
very largely as their fathers, hus-
bands or brothers, 80 that the first
effect of suffrage will be to greatly
swell the number of votes without
causing any great change in results.
AS years go on, however, woman will
develop more and more political
sense and acumen, and become less
and less dependent upon the advice
and example of her male relatives.
