The mayor sent Chief of Police SchwarE

they were Joined by Sheriff OBricn
and Deputies. They took n stand ON
the tramway of the dock. Work had
hardly commenced on the dock when .
mob of strikers swarmed down over
the dock and tramway. The foremost
of them were forcibly handcuffed by
the officers, and others were arrested
who were afterward rescued from the
police ry their fellows. A desperate
hand-to-hGnd contest followed, IN
which revolvers were fourished and
several shots were fred. The officers
were nearly all bruised with clubs and
stones.
The adrance on the tramway was
finally checked, but the strikers then
swung down beneath the tramway and
made for the boats, reaching them
ahead of the officers There an awful
