THE CLEVELAND STRIKE.

Released on SlD0J1 Bail.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 3-The locked
out employees of the Brown Hoisting and
Conveying company held "a meeting at
Superior hall this morning. The situa-
tion was thoroughly canvassed and it
was ordered that these telegrams be
sent:

man deliberately murdered by scabs.
Burial Sunday afternoon. Can you come
and deliver funeral oration?"

Gomez"
A burning proclamation to all labor
ing men in the city was issued. The
Brown Hosting company and the mu-
nicipal government which furnished pO-
lice to protect the non-union men, were
bitterly denounced. A strong appeal
was sent to all union men in northern
Ohio to make special effort and attend
the funeral services Of the dead striker
at Immaculate Conception church, Sum
day afternoon. Those attending the
funeral were requested to wear white
ribbon.
The parade will be formed at Superior
hall in the neighbOrhood of the works
at 1890 p. m. Sunday. The majority of
the labor organizations in the city have
already signified their intention to par
ticipate. A monster demonstration is
anticipated.
The strikers when not indulging in
threats Of avenging the death of Will
liam Rettger, who was killed yesterday
are tonight expressing confidence Of
victory in the strike, owing to the ac-
ton of the Brown Hosting company
today Shortly before noon the " men
at work were paid off and told that the
works would close at noon and not re-
open until Monday. This the strikers
think means that they will not be re-
opened at all. Manager Leeds insists
however. that the works will open Mon
day with $50 men.
