BROOKLYN, Jan. 21.-Violence and
bloodShed constitute the record of the
eighth day of the electric street railway
operatives strike. Three militiamen
are IN hospitals with broken heads, Two
having suffered at the hands of riOtouS
men OF women, while The third was the
victim Of his own careleSSnesS, having
fallen out of a Second-Story window. a
score or more policemen are suffering
from bullet wounds or cOntuSOnS OF the
head and body, disabling them for the
time being.
To what extent the strikers have SUI
fered cannot be conjectured. If they
have escaped punishment it was not the
fault of the militiamen, who, in accord
ance with orders, fired as directly at
their aSsailanls as a dense fog, which
completely hid objects at thirty yards
distance. would permit.

The Strike Is Not Ended
and order is not restored. Seven thou
sand national guardsmen and fifteen or
sixteen hundred policemen have not to-
day been strong enough to make the re-
sumption of the street railway traffic in
Brooklyn practicable. In fact the gain
over last Saturday is scarcely percepti-
bic. The calling out Of the First brig
ade, composed or New York city regi-
ments, has seemed rather to add to the
tension than to bring a solution of the
difficulties. The task of restoring peace
and order along 200 miles OF street car
line is Il vast one. The new levy num-
bPred not far from 1000 men. They
were moved across the great bridge
early in the day. The various compa-
MES went by elevated trains wherever
it was possible, 10 the points where they
had been ordered. Generally speaking
the greetings they met with on the
streets were far from friendly. Boys
guycd and men jeered them as
they passed through the sections inhab-
tied by laboring people. The elements,
winch early in the day were auSpiciouS,
soon took on an unfriendly aspect. A
Scotch mist settled down OH all the city,
increasing in density us the evening ap-
preached. and added to the difficulties
which attended ;he carrying out of the
announced intention of the street car
lines upon lines not operated since the
strike was declared Such attempts in
this direction as were made were futile.
A car started from the RidgewOod sta
tiOn of the Brooklyn Heights company
ii little after 5 o'clock and was assaiIed
with vollcyS Of stones and bricks from
windows and vacant lots before it had
proceeded far on Its way down town. A
private soldier was struck in the head
with a stone and disabled. The officer
in command ordered his men to shoot
and
TWO VOlicys Were Fired
in the direction of the rioters, who,
however, were obscured by the dense
fog. About 250 bullets were sent
shrieking in search of victims, but how
many, if any, of them found human tar
gets cannot at present be determined.
The militiamen's orders were if they
shot it would be to kill. Policemen also
did some shooting at this point, with
what effect is as yet uncertain. as is the
case of the militiamen. 1t is asserted
by the militia officers that they only Or
dered the volley when the violence of
the mob made 1t necessary TO do so.
On the same line & car started out an
hour later aud WAS beset by rioters at
Gates and Stuyvesant avenue. The
police escorting it essayed to drive off
the rioters. and while doing so were

The other in the hand. a detail of po-
lice entered the house and arrested Kate

burling missiles from the window. At
