Glasgow strikers Stoutly Resist ForCible
Eviction.
GLASGOW, Jan. 6.-The disturbances
caused by the evictions of the railroad
strikers from the quarters provided for
them by the railroad companies have
not yet ceased in spite of the presence
on the scene of the evictions of Large
forces of police, backed up by the
troops. Serious rioting was resumed
to-day at Coalbrdge, about nine miles
from here on the Monkland Canal, the
chief center of the iron manufacture in
Scotland. The police and troops Tho
have now been almost continuously on
duty for forty-cight hours, passed a
wearisome night, as the strikers.
now driven to extreme desperation,
are making the widest threats.
However, the strikers practically
ahstained from violence through the
the night, but this morning they mus
tered at all early hour about the
dormltory at Coalbridge occupied by
the non-union men who have been en-
pioyed IN place of the strikers. After
pelting the building with stones, the
rioters made a rush forward and stormed
It III the most approved fashion
The police on duty at the spot made
il gallant defense, using their batons
freely and charging the strikers in spite
OF showers OF stones hurled at them on
all sides. During the conflict number
of the police and a still greater number
of the strikers were more or less
seriously injured. The rioters were
finally repulsed just as strong reinforce
ments OF police and troops were being
sent to the scene Of the collision
After the first excitement Of the coll
lision between the police and rioters al
Coalbrldge had subsided the police sue
ceedel in placing under lock and KEY
six prisoners captured during the fray.
The police could have arrested many
more of the rioters had they felt SO in
cllned, but they contented themselves
with making prisoners of six OF the ring
leaders or most violent members of the
mob Of strikers.
1t is thought that the object Of the
strikers i'll attacking the dormltory of
the non-uniOn men at such an early
hour vas to prevent the men who have
taken the strikers places from going to
work this morning. The majority of
the non-unIon men are now at work un-

Five of them could not be seen from the
