BIG RIOT IN TORONTO THE GOOD
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
Following the anti-street railway meeting in Massey hall, Toronto, on Wednesday evening, severe rioting took place on the streets.
Over 200 street cars were stoned, the windows broken, and many persons injured.
The police were powerless for the time, but ultimately made a number of arrests.
The outbreak is the result of the tyrannical use of power given to the street railway Co., by the Whitney government.
The people of Toronto will not receive much sympathy in their troubles from the farmers and other landowners who have suffered the partial confiscation of their lands by the autocratic legislation of the Whitney government. They have upheld the Whitney government in all its iniquities, and now they are simply getting a dose of their own medicine, and they should grin and bear it, instead of throwing stones.
