The cleveland Iron workers.

There was a great deal of excitement in
Cleveland during the past week, occaSioned
by the strike in the iron mills On the 9TH
l. 200 strikers marched into the city from
Newburrh. a suburb of Cleveland, and
forced the worimen in the Chisholm shovel
works to cease operations. The strikers
cleared the factory and then proceeded to
the Union screw works. They were denied
admittance. whereupon the windows were
broken in and fOrcible possession was taken
of the place.
The workmen quit rather than have a riot,
and the mob carried everything before them.
The doors were battered down with heavy
pieces of timber and car pins dashed through
the windows. Fayette Brown, president of
the company. was struck on the head with a
club and quite seriously injured. Girls en-
ployed in the packing rooms tainted. and
orders were quickly given 10 stop the en-
gines and stop work. The strikers then left
the city and returned TO the Eighteenth
ward, i'm which section the iron mills are
principally situated. The police were rap
idly moving toward the scene of the riot
when hOstilitieS ceased, and they returned
to their beats. Several men were badly
hurt by stones but no intended violence
against the wOrl1men by strikers was re-
ported
The injuries sustained by Mr.. Brown are
said TO be quite serious. The local military
were notified, and held themselves in readi-
ness to move on the strikers in the event of
further violence being attempted
During Thursday the Central police sta
ton was full of patrolmen, and outside
stood two fOur-horse buses, which were
to carry the men wherever needed. At the
city armory attachments of the Grays, the
Light artillery and the Fifth regiment, o..
n. G., were on duty ready to move on call.
A report that a procession of the strikers
was marching upon the screw works Occa-
stoned run to that place, forty patrolmen
going out in the buses There was no
| need for their services. however, the strikers
being quiet and orderly. The men carried
clubs, but made no demonstration whatever.
A band was at their head and the stars and
stripes floated above their heads. The pro-
cession numbered !, 200. The march. con-
tinued about the city and then back to the
starting point where il dispersed. Its said

THE STREET CAR STRIKE.
1t Terminated Last Week by a Conn
HrOmiSe.

At 7:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning the
cago, began running its cars on the Madi-
son. Randolph, Lake and Van Buren, street
lines. The cars were all guarded by from
six TO eight policemen riding in each car,
while the streets were patrolled by large
reserve force. The early downtown cars
were all well patrOniZed, ladies and work
ing-girls constituting the bulk OF the pas
sengerS. Outwardly everything was quiet
along the several street car routes, crowds
not being permitted TO assemble.
The strikers addressed letter on Tues
day morning 10 the president of the street
car company, stating that they were willing
to compromise on a basis To be determined
by three judges of the courts. In answer
TO this President Jones of the railway sent
a written reply. and as a result of this
deputation from the strikers went into con-
sultatiOn with the officials of the company,
and it terminated at noon, when Mr.. Jones
and the president of the Conductors aSsO-
citation went to attend the meeting of a
special committee of the city council, ar
ranged for the previous night. There was
only q short session OF this committee,
when Mr.. Jones made proposition TO the
strikers to resume work. \ subsequent
private conference between President Jones
and a committee of strikers was held.
At meeting of the striking car drivers
and conductors on Tuesday night
1t was agreed TO accept President Jones
last proposition and return TO work on
Wednesday, In this way the last barrier to
a settlement of differences by arbitration
was removed, as upon return of the men
the company agreedtO submit the question
of reinstatement of the discharged men to
DISTINGUISHED parties for final decision.
The resumption of street car traffic was
complete on Wednesday, and all the cars
were running on the West Side lines during
the day, manned by the late strikers.
The company on Friday reinstated four
teen of the sixteen men discharged from
their service. and for whose reinstatement
the recent strike was inaugurated. The
president of the company declared that
there was no adequate cause for the dis
charge of the men IN question

cents an hour, and the Minneapolis union
regarded itself entitled to the same pay, es-
pecially as the working season is much
shorter here than in any of the cities named.
Under resolution, unanimously adopted,
notices were served, on May 6, that on July
the men would demand 81 day. The
pay up to that time had been 40 cents an
hour for eight hours. so that the advance
asked was cents an hour. On Monday
morning, when the men quit work, the con-
tractors professed establishment and pre-
tended ignorance of the demand, pretense,
however, that was unworthy of them. The
demand was refused, and since that time
there has been practically no work in the
seven stone-yards of the city. The men
consider their demand a righteous one, and
are determined to stick out for it to the
last. Various misrepresentation have been
made by the contractors, through the yari-
Gus city papers, but it is a notable fact that
while the stonecutters have sought the
GLOBE in preference to any other paper, no
contractor has offered to raise bubble
through the same columns.

Items of Local Interest About the
Different Trades.

The difficulty between Pingree & Smith,
the Detroit shoe manufacturers, and their
employees has not been settled, as stated in
the Pioneer Press. The demand Of the
men that the firm should do away with
contract labor was not complied with. The
employees are now about TO start cooper
alive shop. having been offered building
and machinery free Of cost for one year,
and ask that the goods Of Pingree q Smith
be boycotted.
The master mechanism the Wabash road
has been writing TO Minneapolis for men TO
work for the company at Moberly, Mo. The
course pursued by the railroad officials in
diScharging men who appeared promin-
emily in the strike that was settled by arbi-
tration aud the action of district %, of De-
catur, Ills. should be sufficient warning to
prevent any response to the invitation of
the master mechanic.
A statement which appeared in St Paul
paper to the effect that there is plenty. of
work for skilled labor in st. Paul and Min
neapolis meets with general denial and
disapproval as entirely disappearing the
condition of affairs. The fact that ., 900
men are out Of work in this city, would
hardly seem to indicate that the demand is
exceeding the supply.

and Personal Comment.
Eighty per cent. of the milling force of
Minneapolis is now taking an enforced va
cation. The usually noisy, bustling mill
district is quiet and deserted, and will con-
tinue so for the better part of two months.
until the repairs and changes at the canal
are completed. Work is progressing rap
idly now. and the old railway treStle has
has large force of men ut work, including
some of the idle mill hands, who are thus
given employment, but by far the larger
portion of the men will be without work
until late in August. Even those mills
that have steam power are not disposed to
use it at present.
The mill operatives held a meeting last
night at the old room of the AIillers' aSocia-

MidsunlmerH Hats.

The fashion of using profusion Of bios
SONS as hat garniture is shown on coarse
straw with a rolling brim, trimmed with
punches of bell-shaped flowers in blue, pink
and yellow.
The fashionable pale green is prettily in
troduced on white leghorn hat, trimmed
with bows of cream ribbon, among which is
disposed in front a bunch of peculiar vel
vety foliage.
The fancy for profusion of floral decor
tons, which includes at least three varieties
of flowers on one hat, is in evidence among
the English styles.
The garden hat, pure and simple, appears
this season in pretty arrangement of rows
of lace overlapping one another, and fin
ished with a large bow on top. Either
white lace or white with threads of red, blue
or pink. as well as ecru lace, are made into
these tasteful chapeaux.

Misunderstanding.

The etiquette of hand-shaking is simple.
No man should assume to take a ladys
hand until it is offered. A lady extends
her hand and allows the gentleman to take
it. On introduction in a room a married
lady generally shakes hands; young ladies
not often. In the ballroom, where the in
PRODUCTION is for dancing, not for friendship,
never shake hands. The more public the
place of introduction the less Misunderstanding
takes place.
