Mr. White kindly lots the hurden of all the trouble rest on the shoulders of Mayor Wilson, of Tim‘mins. He say he is msponsiblo {or not (‘lspersing the riotous mob instead of encour- aging them. According tb Mr. M. E. White.who is in chame of the Tlnel brigade of spatial constables during the strike his 'men have been abused and in dan ger of their lives. 'He is quoted in the Toronto News as saying that “telegrams announcing the arrival of special trains with strike breakers on board were mysteriously delayed from R to 10 hours and as a result his men were not on hand to greet and welcome these incoming laborers and protect them from violence. He says in regard to the case case where three of his men were arrested. the. strike breakers had come in and were taken to the Goldfields Hotel for breakfast; that a crowd of three or four hundred men. strikers, had ga- thered and threatened to force open the hotel and haul these strike break- ers out; that his men succeeded in holding them off and otlieers eventu- ‘elly got the 'men into the l-Iollimrer mine: that this mob of three or four .iand’red men surrounded his detec- tiVes and hurled rocks at them; that they picked up one of his officers, Bernier. a Montreal hov and threw him to the ice on the lake. Then; some of the leaders of this striking mob knocked another one of his offi- cers down and while he was on the ground did beat. up his face. Ilis officers then used their clubs in going : to the aid of this fallen man, and were rushed by the strikers, separa-l ted from the strike breakers, and in order to save life of the man who l t l l a was down. they fired their reveolvers , into the ground.
