Denver-One man is dead, more
than 35 injured and thousands OF dol
lars in property lost as a result of a
street car strike riot here.
Following a lengthy conference with
Governor Shoup, Mayor Bailey issued
a proclamation calling 1000 civilian
volunteers to assist the police in main
tanning order during the strike. It
was stated no call would be made for
troops at present although city police
are admittedly unable to handle the
situation.
The mob began by wrecking street
cars, turning then to the office of the
Denver Post, which was partially
wrecked, and then turning their atten-
tion to the city hall. tramway build
ing and car barns in various parts OF
the city.
The rioting started when two cars
manned by strikebreakers we're forced
to stop by a motor truck on the track.
While the cars we're halted, a parade
of strikers and sympathizers, who had
been conducting a demonstration at
the city hall, reached the corner.
Street Cars Smashed.
The two cars were badly damaged,
windows broken. interiors wrecked and
holes torn in roofs but they we're able
TO proceed &c the barns under their
own power. A third car was attacked
near the downtown barns OF the com
pany and two others were turned on
their sides in front of the cathedral
of the Immaculate Conception.
The mob gathered in front Of the
Post building just after attacking the
first cars. 1t was dispersed that time
without having done more than taking
copies of the afternoon edition of the
paper from newsboys and littering the
streets with them. The Post opposed
the strike.
Later the crowd again gathered In
front OF the Post. Nearly all of the
windows in the present plant and in a
new one being built next door were
broken. When Post employees hoisted
an American flag over the building, the
rioting subsidized slightly but was re.
newed a few minutes later with
greater vigor.
The mob then entered the building
Hammers and spikes were thrown in
the linotype machines. paper rolls
we're moved into the streets. water
was poured On the presses which also
were damaged by hammers.
