As soon as the street cars commenced
running on South Division-st. yesterday
. crowd OF oilers collected on both
sides of the street. Al 3 O'Clock il WAS
double file extending from Monroe-st.
TO Island-st., and every car that came
along was greeted vita a chorus Of
'.Scabs," "Rats," aud other edifving
epithets. BY 10 O'Clock the patience oa
the part Of the police became tiresome.
As people came pact on their way TO
church they we're heard 10 complain Of
the forbearance Of the officers IA allow
ing disordefly crowd 10 collect aud
remain on the wsiks- Occasionally one
OF them would become so obstreperoas
that he would be taken AWAY by the
patrol wagon, bat the majority re
NAMED an lsstolerable nuisance
TO passers by and 10 the
people living in the neighborhood.
Toward night the crowd became
a jam and il was with difficulty that
ladisS We're able 10 make their way
alolg the Sidewalk. Bert Wilson was
arrested by Ofhcers Cast and johnson
about 5 O'Clock and the crowd made an
abortive attempt 10 rescue him. Real
izlng that something must soon be done
TO prevent more serious trouble the
officers cleared away the crowd aud
peace and tranquility relgned for the
first time during the day. Al the cor
ner of Hall and Divison-sts. was an
other crowd which remained all day 20
yell and boot at the street cars.
Success OF the Carryaiis-
The carryalIs did big business and
no attempts were made 10 interfere
with either passengers, drivers or con-
ductors. President Dickerson OF the
Reeds Lake Electric railway says that
the carryalis brought nearly ] 900 pas
sengers 10 his line during the day. The
North Park railway did a stlll larger
business and every livery horse IN town
hustled for hls oats yesterday.
On Clancy-st at the car barns. a crowd
had gathered about, yelling at the men
moving them from one barn 10 the
other. The patrol was called, but no
arrests were made. BY tue smell of
ancient eggs they could not locate the
producer, and gave IL up as bad Job.
Affairs have been very busy all the time
At the Office of the Union street Rail-
way Company in Central Labor Union
Hall. Over = dozen new members were
initiated. The wagons yesterday turned
in about sl4 apiece average. Sixteen
wagons were running and the men
want all they can get. If they can GET
enough, they will establish two
minute service. The men take trips IN
turn at 35 cents an hour. The whole
force of strikers 10 divided into COM
mittees. A patrol OF the entire business
and street car part OF the city ~ kept
up continually, ~ that they know
everything that 10 going on.
How Funds Come In.
Statement was made to the TELEGRAM
HERALD last evening concerning fnan-
clal resources. Merchants and Others

$500 odd. The local labor unions as fast
IS regular meetings occur are passing
resolutions of financial support. This
js in the form of an assessment 10 pro-
vide constant fund as long ss the

draw on. over $500 has been taken In
on the carryall system since IL
