MI RING STRIKK RIOTING
ST. LOUIS: Street railway trallic
in St. Louis whs almost at a standstill
yesterday as a result of the strike of
motormen and conductors, who went
out at midnight. About sixty cars
were operated yesterday, a trifle more
than one-tenth ot the normal Sunday
service.
Fifty arrests were made for minor
acts of violence. At dark all ears were
returned to the sheds and it was said

Another striker was shot at the car

Sporadic rioting broke out in var

company in the form of a contract

of alleged unfair discrimination to
