Employees OF the Brown Hoisting Works
Fired Upon From Ambush.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 15.-One of the
most dastardly attempts at premedi-
tated murder ever laid at the door of
organized labor took place here, it
being the outcome of the great Brown
strike that has been going on here for
three months. A party of ten strikers
laid in wait for a party of workmen
who came by on their way home from
the Brown works, There were nine
men in the little group of workmen
with their dinner pals. Without a
moments warning, the strikers rushed
from behind saloon, and with a cry
of "scab'' began shooting into the
crowd. The fire was returned by
few of the workmen. Four men We're
shot, two fatally.
