not interfere unless there was an as
sault committed. The presence of the
police at the barns has been no barrier
to the strikers in controlling the cars
and intimidating the new men. The
mayor last night issued proclamatiotf
against collection on the street, witH
assurances that the law will be enfored,
which seems to have had the effect OF
bringing the people out in large NUM-
bers. The employees at many of the
leading manufactures left their placed
of business to aid the strikers, and the
lines over which the cars were sched.
uled to run were lined from end to end.
Shortly before noon between thirty and
forty new men were conveyed to one Of
the barns ON the East side, where q
gated. There was determination on the
faces of the strikers. Thirty police,
with the chief at their head. were also
on the ground. The first car run
out was filled with police. strik-
ers and their friends. The distance
from the stable to the principal thor
oughfare down town is little over
three miles. The entire distance was
lined with people and in many places
large crowds had gathered. The team
was driven rapidly and as it passed
strikers boarded the same until it was
crowded and then they began to climb
on top. The car was rocked back and
forth, almost tipping over on its side.
but the police did not fear getting hurt.
A favOrite way to overload was to drive
spring wagon alongside the car and
from this the strikers and others would
jump on. After going nearly two miles
the strikers succeeded in derailing the
car aud ran it to the side OF the street.
All along the route the strikers were
greeted with cheers and women and
children followed, aiding in the
work. The driver of the car
escaped through alleys and the
conductor kicked woman and
begged to be arrested by the police that
he might escape injury. The city had
poured its masses into the streets by
this time, and all space was crowded
for squares in every direction. 1t is eS-
timated over 10000 people were crowd
ing the point of excitement. The secs
ond car out met with no better fate, and
was rushed through the multitude with
similar scenes enacted. The car could
not be seen for strikers who covered 1t,
The police had no control, and did not
pretend to give protection to the new
employees. The car was finally thrown
bodily across High street, the windows
knocked out, and the driver and cons
ductor escaped with the mob after
them. The driver was afterward es-
corted to the depot and placed aboard a
train. Mayor Bruck witnessed the
scene, and ordered that no more cars be
run out during the day. Order was soon
restored, and the strikers felt they
had won another victory. The COM
pany is discouraged, and attribute their
inability to run cars to the lack of po-
lice protection. Consultation was held
with Adjt. Gen. Hawkins in regard to
calling out the militia, but that official
stated th ere was no such demand nee
essary. The city council tonight
adopted several resolutions, one of
which was for the arbitration of the
difficulties; another appointing COM
mittee to wait upon the company and
learn if they will pursue this course,
and finally, if the company refuse to
arbitrate, instructing the city solicitor
to institute proceedings for a revoca-
tion of it's charter. The company con-
templates another effort to start the
cars tomorrow morning. They say
they will neither arDitrate or advance
wages.
