POLICEMENMAN THE CARS
As Result of Attack on Non-Union
Men Fire Department Is
Ordered to Disperse the
Crowd With Water
Augusta, Ga.—As a result of at-
tacks on non-union men employed by
the street car company as strike
breakers, Mayor Barrett called upon
Governor Brown for state troops to
aid in preserving order. The request
followed a clash between strike sym-
pathizers and stirke breakers at the
power plant where several were se-
verely injured.
The rioting came at the close of a
majBsmeeting at the courthouse, where
resolutions were adopted providing
for a sympathetic strike.
Sixteen organizations affiliated with
the federation of trades voted to go
out in sympathy with the striking car
men immediately upon the call of the
car men's leader. This call has . not
been made. The action was taken
after the failure of the mayor to with-
draw the police from cars being oper-
ated by the company.
While the trouble was at its height
the mayor ordered the fire depart-
ment to the power house, with in-
structions to turn streams on the
crowd to disperse them.

ly as possible. Bell was not under
