Against Taking Part In Riots.
CHICAGO, Oct l2. Tho comparative peace
fnmess Of yesterdays proceedings IN connee.
tion with the street car strike was III marked
contrast 70 the riotous demonstrations of the
day before. Two causes operated TO produce
a cessation of hostilities The police, who had
hitherto been as gentle as possible ia dealing
with the crowds, received peremptory orders
TO repress an attempts az disorder and arrest
all riotously disposed persons while the
leaders Of the strike had enioined their fol-
lowers 70 keep away from tho scenes OF possi-
bic disturbances or If necessary, TO aid the
police in preserving order The day did not
pass without some minor disturbances, but
there was az no time any approach 70 the
wild scenes Of Wednesday afternoon.
On the north side cars were run all day
under police escort and with few attempts AZ
obstruction, although ON Sedgwick street
the tracks were several times covered with
piles Of stone and other material, which oc-
casioned considerable delay. Few passengers
cared to run the gauntlet Of a possible mob
however, and the police were almost the only
passengers. No stones were thrown, and
beyond the usual derisive yells which were
htph up an htNs AAt hNpNfAtu uIiNtfa ana
conductors were not molested
A small sensation was created about A
o'clock by the arrest ON Schiller street, Of
Julius katzenberg, a striking conductor, who
was charged with placing dynamite bombs
on the rails The bombs turned out 10 be-
ordinary railroad torpedo signals The Sedg
wick street cars made their last trip about
4.30 o'clock, and the Garfield avenue cars
went into the barns half an hour later.
There was a speck Of war on the west side
about Il o'clock whom an omnibus containing
a number Of imported men was driven up to
the car barns. A crowd Of about 600 had
gathered, and when the omnibus appeared a
general rush was made for IT, Some stones
were thrown, but the police, who were in
strong force, charged the mob and dispersed
It without much difficulty. Eight Of the
ringleaders were arrested, and the police used
heir clubs freely but no one was seriously
aurt.
A lively time was expected when the at
tempt was made TO run cars over the Madison
street line at o'clock Almost half the city
police force were on hand and every prep
aratiOn was made for pitched battle The
very preparations, however, probably averted
the anticipated trouble, as two cnrs were
taken over the route without any attempt at
obstruction. An occasional stone was thrown
from an alley way or the roof Of building,
but no serious efforts were made 10 stop the
cars or attack the drivers. Hooting and
jeering followed the cars during the trip, but
the police chased the crowds whenever they
became too demonstrative, aad there was no
stubborn resistance offered at any point
The strikers claim that the company cannot
find men to run the cars and that the public
viii not patronize them if they do Both
sides have withdrawn all propositions looking
toward a settlement of the strike, and the
question now looks TO be one Of endurance.
