IS REPORT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pueblo, Colo, Dec. 24.-The first vio-
lence in connection with the strike Of
the steel workers employed at the
Minnequa plant here occurred when
Austrian women pickets started throw
ing stones at steel workers who had
refused to obey the union orders to
continue the strike and had gone back
one of the victims Of the mob's rough
ness and suffered many bruises and
scratches when he was knocked to the
ground and severely pummeled by the
enraged women.
Sawed-off shotguns were carried by
the police reserves who had been sum-
moned by a riot call from the steel
works, but no shots We're fired. New
ertheless, the officers were compelled
to use their riot clubs frequently and
with force to subdue some Of the riot
ers.
While the trouble was started by
women pickets, large number Of
striking men were involved before the
police arrived on the scene.
A dozen arrests We're made by the
police and those arrested will be held
on charges of melting riots and prob
ably will be turned over to the state
courts for trial.
1t was not until the police had about
worn themselves out with exertion in
welding their clubs that the sawed-off
shotguns were flashed upon the crowd.
This had subduing effect and the
mob soon dispersed. Among those ar
rested are five women.
The five women were of foreign
birth and the husband of one appeared
at the station shortly after his wife's
Imprisonment and offered to leave his
three small children with the police as
bail for his wife.
The injuries received by Mr.. Stud
zinski. who, as president of the Pueblo
City Council, is mayor and also COM
missioner of safety, are not Of seri-
GUS nature.
When the patrol wagon was loaded
with rioters for it's first trip to the
police station, crowds of men and
women swarmed about it striving to
prevent the cars progress. 1t was
with extreme difficulty that the police
were able to get the prisoners away
from the mob While the wagon and
its prisoners was on its way to the
station. another fight started and more
arrests were made. The police COM
mandeered an automobile nearby and
started second load of rioters to
