THE STRIKERS AT CLEVELAND.
 Threaten to Bic Before They Will
 Surrender.
 CLEVELAND, July 8.-A heavy detail of police was sent into the Eighteenth ward early this morning to quell the strikers if it should become necessary. There was no trouble whatever and no demonstration until after noon to-day. The strikers then assem- bled in the Fourteenth ward, elevated red flag and started for the mills in Newburg, which they surrounded. On arriving they made good deal of noise, but did not offer to do any damage to life or property. J. W. Churchill, who is putting down gas well for the Rolling Mill company, and who has few men in his employ, called on Superin- tendent Schmitt this forenoon. He said his men, who are paid s3.5O per day, had been forced to quit work by strikers. When he remonstrated with the strikers he was told to go about his business or he would get hurt. A large number of striking iron work CTS who had obtained work on the Wilson avenue paving contract were waited upon this forenoon by delegation of the strikers
  accompany them.
 When it was announced at the mass meeting held by the strikers this afternoon that the Union steel screw and shovel works had re- sumed operations motion to march to the works and pull the men out was unanimous ly adopted. Later it was resolved to wait until tomorrow morning as they desired to have another conference with Mayor Gard ner who, they say has promised to accom- 4Ia,,, 10 4ha ,,oiI AftaT ha- ing addressed by Russian Nihilist the meeting broke up and the men dispersed in small parties. The strikers are well armed, many of them having No. Smith & Wesson revolvers, which were furnished them at half price two years ago by the mill owners with which to protect themselves from strikers in whose places they were working then. They say they will die before giving up and declared that if interfered with by the police there will be many dead policemen in town. The strikers are an ignorant lot of men, not one fourth of them even understanding English They have become so elated at their recent success in stopping other mills that they labor under the impression that the city is at their mercy.
 Late this afternoon 8 meeting of prominent business men, presided over by the Mayor, was called to discuss the best course to pur- sue with regard to the strike. It is now considered that the strike has assumed very serious nature. No reporters were admitted to the meeting, as it was feared that if the fact became known that meeting was being held and that the strike was so seriously re- garded the strikers would immediately resort to desperate measures. It is reported that leading Communist from Chicago is here advising the strikers and misinterpret- ing the situation to the ignorant Poles and Bohemians to keep the trouble going and thus add to the membership of the Com mune. The strikers openly declare that they will kill the reporters of the Leader and Plaindealer if they can find out who they are About one hundred and twenty special police have been sworn in to-day
