CHICAGO, October 1Oth.-The streets on the
outskirts of the city, where the car tracks once
were, are now covered with huge powders and
the tracks in several places are torn away
Since the city has done away with its detective
help the rioters have become bold, and do not
fear the city police. as half of them are ex-car
drivers and conductors, and in sympathy with
the strikers.
Several cars were run out of the barns TODAY
Cars on both divisions are manned by new men,
guarded by the police. 1t is now believed the
company will have to accede to the strikers
demands, as the outlook is diseouraging in Sc
curing the necessary amount of new men to
run the cars. The citizens begin to be alarmed
owing to the threatened trouble.

peared and were admitted. The committee was
armed with full power to settle the strike. This
authority had been conferred upon them by q

threat of general strike on the syndicate
lines in cities of the East.
