THE CIR EAT STRIKE.
The Situation at Eleualalnd

The Cleveland Press records the following.
which indicates the feeling in that city:
AS the sun began to rise in the east the stri-
kers began to assemble at the corner of Broad
way and Wire street to arrest the coming of the
police protected ''scabs." large number of
women. some with babes in their arms, also as
sembled, and from them came most of the boot
ing and bowling. Soon a bus load Of ''scabs,"
protected by several policemen, arrived, and
then the cries of 'ba, ba, ba, black sheep" and
the hooting and yelling began, and perfect
chorus of female voices, pitched to the highest
key, gave vent to pent-up feelings. Up Wire
street the 'scabs" rushed, with cries of the an
cry women and indignant youngsters ringing in
their ears, and they could not help the sort of
guilty look which Overspread the features of one
and all Of them They had hardly got inside
the mill before another bus containing one
workman with huge dinner and six policemen
arrived. The women shrieked, the youngsters
yelled, while the strikers could not help but
smile audbly to see the man with the dinner
pail go toward the mill escorted by six police
men, any one Of whom was smaller than the
person he was protecting. The patrol of the
strikers cleared the sidewalk. but the angry
women kept up their yelling until the ''scabs''
had all got into the mills, and then some of the
more brave ones devoted themselves to angry
denunciatiOn of the police
Although the force in the mills is undoubt-
edly larger than at any time since the strike,
there being perhaps $50 or 400 men, there are
doubts az to whether any more work can be
accomplished, or any other departments be run,
than during the past week. The additional
force taken in this morning does not consist of
skilled hands, but of the same class of labOrers
that have heretofore been hired. A large num-
Der are unable to do anything, and are simply
lOafng around the mill yards and draw.
