THREE MORE STREET CARSI'll just note that the "fair and balanced" way American Media treats Union matters has deep roots.
BURNED IN NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans, July 6 (AP) - Three street cars were burned at the Canal street barn early today in addition to one destroyed at the food of Canal street yesterday. Other cars went out on the line were practically demolished before the City Council instructed that all attempts at operating cars be halted during the carmen's strike.
Police riot guns, tear bombs, and high pressure streams of water were used to quell the services and interrupt the almost continuous stoning of railway premises by union sympathizers in the crowd of several thousands. Police warned the union men they would take their lives in their hands if they sought to force entrance into the barn.
