STRIKE OF STREET RAILWAY MEN.
Cleveland, o., June 19.-There were
no new developments in the strike of
the street railway men yesterday, prin-
cipally for the reason that the company
made no attempt to operate cars except
on the Euclid avenue line. The police
still afford ample protection and the
cars were run on schedule time from
seven o'clock in the morning until six
o'clock in the evening. 1t is expected
that an attempt will be made to-day to
resume operations on some of the other
lines and more trouble is looked for.
The strikers are preparing for u big
demonstration this evening. A meet
ing was held in the afternoon, at which
representatives of all the labor unions
were present. The meeting arranged
for parade to take place in the even
ing. 1t is anticipated that between 10,-
900 and 10000 union working men will
be in line, and there will be several
bands in the procession. The object
of the demonstration will be to in
tluence the members OF the city coun-
ell, and 100 representatives, of organized
labor will be selected to attend the
meeting of that body and request the
passage of an ordinance introduced
week ago which requires that all
motormen shall have had at least 20
days experience in running cars in
Cleveland before they can be employed
in this city. The present ordinance
on that subject requires ten days ex-
perience, but it may be had anywhere.
TIE BUFFALO DOCK SITUATION.
Buffalo, N. Y, June 10-Nothing
developed yesterday affecting the dock
situation. The freight handlers held
n largely attended meeting and those
present exhibited determination to
stay out until the railways agree to
pay them 20 cents an hour overtime.
They expect the old dock workers to
stand by them, 1t was stated that
the railway people absolutely refuse to
change the rate of wages they are pay
ing to the men.
A NINE-HOUR DAY DEMANDED.
Baltimore, Md, June 19.-Two thou
sand employees of the marine depart
ment, Maryland Steel company, held
meeting yesterday and determined to
strike at the end of seven days if their
demands for nine-hour day and week
ly payments were not acceded to by
the company. Committees were APP
pointed to present the ultimatum to
the heads of the various departments
this morning. A strike at Sparrows
Point at this time would be serious
matter. Five thousand men are EN-
ployed by the company, and u tie-up of
one department would doubtless soon
affect the other branches.
TRACKMEN's STRIKE COMPROMISED.
Montreal, Can, June 19.-The strike
of the Grand Trunk railroad track
men, which has been on for month,

of tracEmen to discuss their griev-
