Riots Hit Local Transit as 3500 Loyal Workers Stand Firm
Officials claim 3500 company workers remain loyal and service will resume at daybreak. A shipment of 175 strikebreakers from New York sparked a mob attack on barns and main offices at Eighth and Dauphin, with broken windows and 35 arrests.

Transit cars wrecked or burned totaled 297 cars with two fully burned and one partially burned. 2608 windows were smashed.
