 Day with the Strikers.

A Repetition of the Scenes of 1884 Anti
 cipated-Strikers Make Life a Burden
 to Imported Drivers-Bad Results of
 the Company's Failure to Keep Promise
 CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The fourth day of the strike closed with a record of several brawls and one serious collision between the police and crowd, in which several heads were broken The feeling is not as good as it has been heretofore, and unless there are some quieting influences set to work it is probable that the tumultuous scenes of four years ago may be repeated before the strike has con- tinued much longer. The action of the rail- way officials in attempting to run cars on the west side after announcing that no such action would be taken was primarily the cause of most of the trouble. The six cars which were started over the Madison street line, manned by imported conductors and drivers and protected by the police, ran the gauntlet of storm of generations and cries of ''Scab," "Scab" and ''Rats, y but made the trip without encountering any violence.
 Just as they had reached the Western av enue barns on the return trip, Superinten- dent Nagle, who was waiting at the barn to receive the cars, was attacked by Jack Gleason, a Northwestern switchman. There was general rush made by the crowd, and had it not been for the opportune arrival of the police, who arrested Gleason after des- perate resistance, Nagle would have fared badly.
 In the meantime there was great irritation on the north side where the crowd had been angered by the clubbing of women and men by police at the corner of Garfield avenue and Orchard street. Near the car barns the tracks were covered by all manner of ob- structions, and the four cars that were run ming under police protection were stopped every few feet until the tracks could be cleared.
 The crowd kept up constant roar of cpl thets and vituperation, and the imported men were greatly relieved when, after a few brushes with the crowd, the police cleared the way to the barn, and the cars were locked up for the night During the confu. sion a man said to have been Attorney Furthman, the counsel for the road, had a narrow escape from being mobbed. He saw little boy, about 10 years old, bending over the road, and jumping to the conclusion that he was about to pick up stone, the man sprang from his buggy and after flashing the child with his whip dragged him into the buggy and drove off, pursued for some dis tance by the crowd.
 At other times during the day four men and two boys were arrested charged with in- citing to riot. Last night a large placard distributed by the the strikers was displayed in store windows and fruit stands, reading> "Protect the Chicago labor against Pennsyl vania paupers; no Carnegie tactics for us 1 No attempt was made to run cars after dark and the excitement measurably diminished ! General Manager Parsons, of the West Di vision Street Railroad company, has issued s circular to the public explaining the action of its employees and declaring the company has always dealt fairly and generously with them. He says the north side trouble must be settled without any interference from the west side, and notifies the men that notice will be given them to assume their duties al i a certain hour, and that if they fail to do SC their places will be filled.
