to prevent cars from being started.
The report which was circulated last
night that q man had died from the
effects of clubbing received from one
of the policemen, turns out to be I'M
true. A mass meeting OF the strikers
and their sympathizers has been
called on Lake Front this afternoon.
In addition TO the street car mems
strike, there has been considerable
trouble on lumber docks within the
past few days, caused by lumber
men attempting TO unload lumber
with their OWN gangs Of men instead
of employing members Of the lumber
showers union. In severalicasss barges
have remained unloaded several days
because tho lumber men would not
employ the union men and the latter
would not permit them to employ any
one else.
IRON WORKERS ALSO.
CLEVELAND, o., July 4.-Early this
morning 1000 strikers assembled near
the iron mills in the Eighteenth ward.
Many of them were Poles and Bohe-
mians and carried pistols and knives.
Men going to work were stopped and
Ed Lille, a fireman in the Merchant
mills, pretty roughly handled, but he
escaped. AT 10 O'clock the crowd aug
mented a hundred fold and marched
to the Plate Mills where work was 60
Ing on as usual. No reduction was in
tended here and the employees
were willing to proceed and
let the strikers do as they pleased
The mob overcame the gate keeper
and swarmed into the mill. The en-
gines were stopped and the mill
closed. In the afternoon the same per-
Torrance was carried out at the Cleve-
land Rolling Mills Company's blast
| furnace, situated on the flats. The
| Collins furnace, also the property OF
| the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company,
was also closed by the strikers. Thus
every mill and furnace owned by the
company is idle, making the largest
strike ever known in NeWburg. Fully
$500 mon arc now idle. An opou all
| meeting was held tonight, but no VIC
lence OF any kind was attempted.
