Trouble Feared.

| CLEvELANDj VI, July o.-AS tue city
clocks struck @ this morning two large
busscs belonging to tho Cleveland Transfer
Company drove up to the Central Police
Station. Soon after thirty.fve uniformed
policemen with their belts and clubs fled
out and took their places on tho wagons.
They were driven rapidly TO the Second
precinct station, where thisty.hve more
were in waiting. They then disembarked
and assembled in the station, where Cap
tain Hcehu, who was in command, in
formed them OF their duties for the day.
Captain Hoehn then went to the Union
Steel Screw Works on Case avenue.
Superintendent Bidwell and Capt. Hoehn
held consultation about the status OF af-
fairs. No strikers were present nor was
there any disturbances Of any kind, The
employees were somewhat backward in go
ing 10 work, but on being assured that
they would be protected they readily &C.
quiesceJ. The girls all returned without
any ceaxing, but the men were somewhat
more. dilatory and considerable urging
was necessary. Atprecisely o'clock the
engine was started and in few minutes
all was moving along as before the com.
pukory stoppage.
Tho Chisholm Shovel Works and the
nail company did not start up as the en-
ployes were afraid that violence would be
offered to them. Three stalwart patrol
men guarded the place, but beyond dis.
persing crowd Of ubiquitous small boys
they had nothing to do. Atllo'clock the
police were resting on their arms in the
Second precinct. -
Deputy McMahan relieved Captain
Hoehn at 9:30 and the Captain returned
to the Central station TO take charge of
the men at that station. The entire police
force Of the city are under orders and
should an outbreak occur they will be
hurried 70 the scene in short order. The
military authorities have been consulted,
but thus far no orders have been Issued
nor will there be unless affairs assume
much more threatened attitude than at
present.
J. W. Churchill, who is putting down q
gas well for the rolling mill company, who
has few men in, his employ, called on
Superintendent Schmitt this morning. he
said his men, who are paid $ 80 per day,
had been forced to quit work by the
strikers. When he demonstrated with the
strikers he was told to go about his busi-
ness or he would get hurt. The Board Of
Police Commissioners have been in ses-
sion during the forenoon.
A large number Of striking iron work
ers who bad obtained work on the Will
son avenue paving contract with Con:
tractor Claflin, were this afternoon waited
upon by delegation OF strikers and
forced to throw down their shovels and
accompany them. At o'clock the strikers
had dispersed and gone to their homes.
They will hold meeting tonight and TO.
morrow morning and will again move on
the same works and close it down II possi-
Bile.
Ats o'clock this afternoon the strikers
were quiet and were devoting all their
energies to the meeting TO be held to-.
night. The police still fear an outbreak
and are waiting for 1t.
The meeting advertised to be held TO.
night was postponed, as the men are ex-
pected to be on the. move tomorrow and
are saving their strength. They will call
on the Mayor for more advice and
then proceed TO the Offices Of the
Cleveland Rolling Mil Company TO see
Il they can get consolation in that quar-
ter. Tonight they expressed determi-
nation to march against The Union
Screw Works, the Nail Company's
factory and the Chisholm shovel
factory. These establishments arc. TO
resume operations In the morning. The
screw Works begun work In small way
this morning. II the mob attempts 70

down, as gatling guns and a heavy detail
Of police and military will be ready for
them.
