 The Company Determined To Stick
 And The strikers Aggressive As Ever.
 CHICAGO, July 6.-Two hundred strikers, several of Pinkerton's. detectives, and few deputy sheriffs arrived at the Western ave- nue car barn at five o'clock this morning, and half an hour later four hundred police men were on the ground. They were detail ed from five precincts, and were commanded by Captain Bonfeld. This morning fresh attempt was made to start the cars on the Randolph street line. At 7 o'clock or within very few minutes of that hour Chief Doyle in uniform and about two hundred patrol men in charge of the different captains and lieutenants came rolling down Washington boulevard in seventeen patrol wagons. The rest of the force of four hundred was left to guard the route at various points of danger, fifty men being stationed at Halstead and Randolph and fifty at Canal street. There were one hundred patrolmen each from the armory and the Des- plaines street station, in charge of Captains Ebersold and Bonfeld, and sixty men from the North division under Captain Buckley. The rest of the force was made up from the various sub-stations. Reserves were also stationed at the Lake and Desplaines street stations ready for call in case of emergency. There was to be no conflict of authority be- tween the fifty deputy sheriffs and the po- lice. The former were there to ride on the moving cars while the po- lice gave more attention to clearing the streets and keeping the tracks free from Instructions and quelling the least ap- pearance of a riot. The start was made at 7:45 a. m., under exactly the same circum- stances as on Friday last, except that to-day the cars headed on Western avenue toward Lake instead of toward Madison street. It was again a contingent of ten cars, all Ran dolph street vehicles. The trip was made without incident, aheavy rain serving to pre- vent a crowd from congregatihg. No fares were collected from the few persons who took the risk of being assailed with stones and brickbats, so that the experience resulted in nothing decisive.
 At 10:30 a. m. four cars were started from the barns on Van Buren street, four on Lake and ten on Randolph. No cars had as yet been started on Madison street, the lack of men being given as the chief reason. Two trips were made on Randolph street. The cars were run block and half apart and the police protection was diminished. Pas sengers crowded the cars and fares were taken. Trouble was anticipated as soon as the cars were left unguarded by the police. The cars on Van Buren, Lake and Randolph streets afterward made several round trips without interrup ton. Several policemen accompanied each car Superintendent Lake says he has numerous applications from the strikers ask ing for reinstatement. Up to 2 p. m. no cars had been started on the Madison street Iine it being stated that the company will not open that line until ready to man every car.
 To-day the extent of west side travel amounted to ten cars on Madison street, ten cars on the Randolph street line, five cars on Lake and eight cars on Van Buren. The cars on the three latter lines were run all the forenoon without interruption and about ? o'clock this afternoon the company decided to run cars on Madison street, the scene of the battle last Friday. No trouble of any kind occurred during the day until 4 o'clock About that hour a crowd of four hundred men and boys had collected at the corner of Robey and Van Buren streets. Two cars came along guarded by eight policemen. The crowd began to boot and the police jumped from their seats and made g charge on them, thus leaving the cars, which con tained a few passengers, practically unpro- tected. A portion of the crowd made a de lOuA oLNA oOAAlAAS CIAO 1iAoo CoI threw it from the track and threw it into the ditch The driver and conductor were severely club bed and fled for their lives. Several shots were fired by the police, but without effect. Patrol wagons filled with police were sum moned to the spot and after dispersing the crowd escorted the cars back to the barn. About the same hour an attack was made on 8 Madison street car little west of Robey street. The conductor was badly beaten and the car overturned into the ditch. The team was cut loose as in the former case. Officers arrived promptly on the scene and put the assailants to flight. Two arrests were made. About 5 o'clock two Lake street cars were attacked and thrown from the track by a bowling mob. The police rushed to the scene and the crowd was soon put to flight. Nobody hurt. It was given out that cars would run until 7:30, but the programme was suddenly changed and the cars were back in the barn by 5 o'clock. It was learned that the news of the ditching of several cars and apprehensions that the thousands returning from work would make an attack upon the cars and their guardians impelled the man agers to speedily change their plans,
 At this hour all is quiet. It is understood that notice has been served on the fire department to be ready for a call for assistance in the event of a serious disturbance arising. The strikers remain firm in their position. They say that the running of a few cars under police pro lection does not pay the company and as long they keep the company doing this they feel that ill the end they will gain their point. No step has thus far been taken by anyone competent to act look ing toward nullifcation of the company's charter and fl anchiss. The president of the company to-day refused to entertain any thought of arbitrating the differences be- tween his company and the men. The strug- gle promises to be protracted one and is as far from solution to-day as when the strike began.
