Riotous Strikers Are dubbed.

A pitched battle occurred Tuesday be-
tween eighty Cleveland, Ohio, policemen
and large force Of strikers from the
Brown Hosting and Conveying Machine
Company. The trouble started when the
non-union employees of the company were
dismissed for the day. The III new en-
ployes marched to the street cars within u
hollow square of policemen. The strik-
ers persuaded the street car employees
not to stop for the new men, and a stone
was thrown by some one in the crowd OF
1000 strikers, sympathizers and specta-
tors. The police were ordered to charge.
They made eight sallies on the crowd.
One Of the patrolmen named Kadel, was
struck on the head with stone, and so
badly disabled that he is now lying at a
hospital. When the police saw that one
Of their number head been injured they
started in to kill. As result four OF the
strikers are ir Jail and 100 others are
suffering with wounds inflicted by the
clubs Of the policemen.

THE FORrY-FIFTH STAR.
S'Old GIory's" Blue Field Has a New
Star Added.

Saturday, foi the first time. the flag Of
the United States was fioated with forty
i've stars on its blue field, indicating the
admission of Utah to the sisterhood Of
States. General orders issued by the
War and Navy Departments prepared
the way for the change, and for several
months past the fagmakers have been
busy in placing new star on the flags in
stock. From economical considerations
the old army flags will not be retired at
once, but will be replaced only as they
nre worn out in service by the new en-
signs. In the case Of the naval flags the
change was more easily made. for all Of
these flags are made at the New York
and Mare Island navy yards. while those
on hand on shipboard may be readily
altered by the expert saiimakers.
