CLEVELAND, Aug. 6.-It Is not likely
that sympathetic strike will be ordered
to aid the Brown Hosting company strik-
ers. Eight of the leaders Of the Central
Labor union, nll representing different
srades, were interviewed last evening, and
al but two Of them expressed themselves
~ opposed to such strike, declaring that
1t would bo unwise and could not benefit
the strikers Tho question will probably
b. decided Mt the meeting Of the Central
Labor union tonight. Should such striko
be ordered 1t will call out upwards of l5,.
oc0 men, nearly all Of whom would obey
the strike order.
Yesterday morning two men stopped in
front Of Mrs Lind's boarding house. n
Few squares from the Brown Hosting
works, where boards man named Gett-
ner, who IL employed at the works Tho
two mon yelled for the non-union man to
come out, and then they began to throw
stones at tho house. Presently ono of tho
mon fired ut the door, tho bullet passing
through the panel and entering the house.
The noise attracted the attention of the
militia, and detachment of Company
men were ordered to the FBcene on thu
double quick. As the old soldiers turned
q neighboring corner tho two men started
TO run. The lieutenant in charge shouted
Haiti" This pursued men paid no attan-
ton to tho order, and the soldiers began

several houses Two went clean through
the side of grocery store.
On every street within radius of nearly
a mile of the plant both soldiers and
locked out men patrolled the sidewalks.
Many Of the soldiers were doubly armed,

carrying guns. A number of the strikers
also carried guns.
