This half-way measure is wholly
pleasing to no politic al party. The
Unionists regard it as a step towar
home rule. They object to giving |
Ireland the management of many de- |
partments of local affairs, while
Irish members of the House of Com-
mons retain the right to legislate in
similar affairs in England and Scot-
land. They criticize also the plan of
government by a council, through
eight committees as complicated and
cumbersome.
The Radicals are disappointed that
the measure fails so far short of ac-

Irish leaders, however, are
maintaining a diplomatic attitude un-

MOB CHECKED BY BULLETS

Vainly Calling Upon Them
to Desist.
The first riot and bloodshed of the
San Francisco car strike occurred
May 7, when an attempt was made to
run a big freight car, manned by
four «inspectors out of the barn at
Turk and Filmore streets.
The United Railways attempted to
run five cars on the Turk street line,
but in the burned district there cars
were savagely attacked by union me-
chanics working on buildings and by
gangs of men and boys. Strike break-
ers manning these cars began to
shoot, and 14 men and boys were
wounded. One is dead and four others
are expected to die.
Below Larkin street, where a
number of new buildings are under
construction, the cars were bombard-
ed by bricks, stones, bits of iron and
pieces of scantling. At the same
time a large gang of men and boys
behind a sign board ‘on the opposite
side of the street threw bricks and
stones.
