orItER TROUBLE YESTERDAY.

NAAAeN AASNhA@A@
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
one Of the new cars was coming up,
about the county line, when it was as
sailed by molly crowd OF men and
boys. The conductor and operator left
1t, and the car was run off the track and
several OF the windows broken by the
mob.
About 6 o'clock two OF the non.union
men were followed TO tho barn by q
large crowd. They remained inside,
and after some length OF time one OF
them went out the back way. He was
Immediately chased up the hill, fleeing
through Mr.. II. w. Schrebe's yard.
There was an earlier disturbance than
that first recorded above. A car was
stopped shortly after daylight by q
number OF men, and the operator aud
conductor wore induced to go into q
saloon with the crowd. While they
were drinking there the trolley pole on
tho car was broken. The two men did
not 20 back to work, but came up town,
and in the afternoon took a train for
their homes.
A stranger who was passenger on
one OF tho cars that was stopped walked
uptown and called on Mayor Caldwell,
expressing his indignation at tho treat
ment the company's employees had re-
ceived, ' ''''' = ~ 49,
Mayor Caldwell last evening issued a
proclamation, which appears in another
column Of this mornings INrELhidRN-
GER, declaring his intention to enforce
the law, and to appoint sufficient force
of extra policemen, If necessary, to pro-
tect the railroad property and the COM
pany's employees. It is thought this
will have good moral effect, and that
il the Benwood authorities do their
plain duty under the law the trouble
will be at an end.
PRESIDENT CHEW TALKS.
General Manager Jolly was seen yes
terday evening and said the cars would
be run regularly from now on. He said
negotiations with the strikers had been
suspended, no conference having been
held for some time past. The relations
between the two sides are such, that it
looks as though no amicabie settlement
is now possible.
After the trouble at Forty.third street
yesterday Mr.. jolly asked Chief OF Po-
lice McNichol for police protection for
his men and the company's properly.
The chief detailed three mon for duty
at Forty-third street and no more trou-
BILE is anticipated there.
President Chew OF the street car
workers was seen last night, and said
among other things that there had been
none OF the property OF the company
destroyed by the strikers, and they had
no desire to do so, aud wanted to con-
duct the strike In gentlemanly way.
Before the mayor takes any action"
said Mr.. Chow, i've would like to OK.
tend u hearty invitation to him to at.
tend ono Of our meetings held daily in
Trades Assembly hall and hear our side
OF the question"
Every time there is any trouble with
the boys tho street car officials run 10
chief Of police or mayor for protection.
All tho damage done to the compnny's
property has been done by boys; mono
OF our men have taken any part in it."
I'VE arc ready at any time for n set
Element on any honorable basis, and
willing II necessary to place tho matter
in the hands Of council, tho same as
was done in Detroit"
Mr. Chew handed in tho following
statement:
THE UNIONS STATEMENT.
This statement demands the careful
attention Of the public before passing
an opinion. Its now evident that the
case Of Murrln aud schmittlo was only
IN excuse for trouble, as Mr.. Jolly
agreed TO tako tho two men back, pro.
vi1ing tho others would mako indi-
vidunl application for position. This
shove very plainly that Il was q hit al
