Local police and military personnel, together with company officials and security officers, guarded the corporate headquarters to prevent further damage being done by the rioters.

Military personnel sent from Toronto to help quell the riot arrived too late to be of assistance. They were billeted at local hotels, including the International, until they could be transported back to Toronto. Photograph: Sault Ste. Marie Public Library
