BRUTAL TREATMENT
OF STREET CAR PASSENGERS
In San Francisco by Strikers, Who Stone
the Cars and Prevent Their Progress
IaSuniGIsHt Police ForOs-CapSe
Of the Brutal Outrage.

sAS Francisco, GAL, Dec, lS.-Ths
strike Of the street car employees assumed
serious proportions for an hour yesterday
afternoon. In the morning the Gsary
street line was tied up by order Of the
knights Of Labor. The strikers formed q
procession iu the afternoon, and, headed
BY some 200 young hoodlums, marched
over both street car lines, attacked and
beat the new hands and chased them
away, and In several instances mAltreated
passengers oil both sexes, Some thirty
persons, chiefly women, were more or less
hurt, and were taken to the Sut!er Street
Oompanys office for medical treatment
and police protection, The procession OF
strikers marched slowly, to prevent the
cars behind them ruEnlng on schedule
time, while all cara approaching were
made targets for bricks, Cobblestones, and
sticks,
The police, though aware OF the inten.
tons Oi the strikers, had sent out ten men
aud Sergeant to keep order. This iusig.
nifCaNt force was brushed aside like 80
many Aies, and several OF the officers were
severely beaten, After most Of the win
dows Of the slGter street cars had been
smashed, and the strlkera had finished
their march and dispersed, large iorcs Of
police were sent tothe scene OIL the dis
Eurbances, The apathy Of the police is al
legged 10 be due to the fact that Higgins, a
local political boss, controls the force, and
la the bitter enemy OF Superintendent
MCCom, Of the sutter strsst line, who
tried with others to overthrow Higgins In
the late campaign, Great indignation is
ielt by respectable psopls at the rough
treatment OF the women aud children who
we're elected from the street cars by the
strikers.
The garments strike on the sutter atreeE
road again developed into violence this
afternoon. A number Of strikers had just
left q car near the Central avenue ter

when hoolums In the crowd which had
gathered, began peltins the car aud those

a ahot being tired toto the Crowd by
some ono on the car. An answering shot
came from the mob, and a lively lusllade
nusued, during which abOut twenty-five
shots wero exchanged amid a general
oi the crowd.
When space was cleared a man was
found lying on the ground with bullet
hole in tho back OF his head. He was
carried to the hospital, where the wound
was pronounced mortal. He has not yet
been identified. A number Of arrests
have been made, but 1t Is not known who
