It ended yesterday afternoon at ten minutes to four, with\nthe first shot that was fired by a striker upon the defenceless men in the First avenue\ncut. Now the strikers haven't three contractors to deal with, nor an apathetic council. They have to deal with the awakened indignation of the white citizens of Prince\nRupert. And this is a British town.\nThis is a British town, and any man in it has a right to go on strike if he is\ndissatisfied with his wages. That is his light, and British law will preserve for\nhim that righi, no matter what his race, or the amount of his wages. But the same\nlaw which preserves for him that right, insists that he must not trample on the\nrights of others. Above all he mast not trample on those institutionsjef law and\norder which have protected him, and given him equal rights with British-born\nsubjects.\nBy their outrage yesterday, the strikers have put themselves outside the\npale of sympathy. They outlawed their cause in thc public estimation. There\nwas a strike on in Prince Rupert yesterday. There is no strike today.\nThere is one good thing which will come out of the riot. It will do more than\nthc promises and arguments of every politician and theorist in^British Columbia\nto guarantee for us a white man's town. Cradled in the midst of tyranny, many\nof the foreign laborers who come to our shores seem not to understand and appreciate the meaning of liberty. To them it means license. They make a great\nmistake if they imagine the quiet policy of non-interference is a token of weakness,\nor an evidence that they can carry things with a free hand. The answer to that\nwas the spontaneous rallying \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwithout request\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof the entire British population\nof Prince Rupert to the side of law and order, on the first outbreak of violence.\nIn appealing to violence the strikers made a great mistake. They appealed\nto an arbitrament which puts them in a hopeless minority. They have ended'the\nstrike. By their action they made it necessary to vindicate the law. Chief Vickers\nand his men backed up by the citizens have showed themselves'capable of handling\nthc situation.\nHenceforth any man can go to work on the streets of PrinceJRupert J without\nfeai of molestation. Law and order ha\ufffd\ufffd been asserted, and will be rigidlyjasserted.\nThc strike is over now.\nNARROW ESCAPES\nAT POINT GREY\nNO ONE HURT BUT $700 WORTH\nOF DAMAGE DONE TO GLASS\nTree Stumpa Being Burned Exploded\nViolently Hurling People Right\nand Left.

For\nsmashed glass there will be a bill of $700\nat least.

Though\nwarned by a rush of citizens from\nSecond avenue, Chief of Police Vickers,\ndid not wish to assume any attitude of\nviolence whatever, and only a couple Of\nconstables met the vanguard of the\nstrikers. It was when the stone throw-\nthrowing began, and the constables\nwere swept down the slope that Chief\nVickers was compelled to resort\nsterner methods..\nto\nof the striker.--. Their cries were un- I\nintelligible, but they gave ground suddenly under the persuasive eloquence\nof the six-shooters. They were driven\nright back to their ball on Third Ave. I\nwhere about twenty arrest* were made\nPolice Held Their Own\nOncn the police gained the advantage\nthey kept it on the high ground. Foot j\nby foot the mob, still spitting stones !\nand curses, was forced back. One of !\nthe strikers lay on the ground a huddled mass, motionless, but breathing\nheavily. A few non-combatants filter-\ned buck from the now scattered mob,\nand gathered about him. He was the\nman who bad tired at Sergt.
