CLEVELAND, May 3.-Nine hundred
men slept in the armores last night, with
sentries on duty watching and ready to
arouse them. There was no renewal OF
the rioting. The authorities fear an out
break to-day. Three of the largest motor
cars have been placed under the orders OF
the Director of Police. AT ll:30 o'clock a
squad of police under Captain Gates was
sent to Newberg, where the large iron
mills are located, and whore disorder was
threatened. The Poles of that district
met last night and determined to raid the
wire mills to-day. The military are in
readiness to go to the aid of the police
should the police force be inadequate to
handle the mob. The foreigners who
compose the disorderly element live in
Newberg principally. The socialist agi-
tators have during the winter secured
large numbers of converts among them.
Long before the earliest risers started
down town to-day the police had taken
possession of the public square. No one
was allowed to stand in one place for any
length of time. Little knots of yester-
days rioters gathered here and there, but
were dispersed by the police.
The first trouble to-day was at the
Cleveland Spring-B Company's works,
where the gang attempted to drive out
work men. A patrol wagon full of off,
GERS was dispatched to the scene. but the
crowd had already dispersed.
While Superintendent Allen OF the
Standard Foundry and friends were driv-
ing to the works volley of stones were
thrown at the carriage. which was badly
battered. A shot was fired from Casey
Bridge. The crowd assem- bled about the
works was composed of striking molders
and sympathizers.
AS the day wore on, it became evident
there would be no general rioting. The
military will be kept under arms for sew
eral days.
Four hundred mon struck at the FL. P.
Nail Works to-day because one man was
discharged.
At noon on the Cleveland and Pitts
burg ore docks the rioters tried to drive
the workmen away. The police dispersed
the mob.
