Part OF sympsthts~rs.
Cleveland. June 1S.-The attempt OF
tie Big Consolidated Railroad COM
laLy to move Its cars yesterday was at
tended by scenes Of wild disorder In
various parts Of the city, though no.
body was hurt and very little damage
was done to property. Cars were run
on two lines at very irregular inter-
walls. but without passengers, AID
mainly under the protection Of police
men. The principal work Of the mobs.
which were composed largely Of idlers
and curious spectators. was to block
ade the tracks. In which they were
materially assisted by accommodating
drivers Of trucks. cut trolley ropes and
jeer at the non-union men. Occasion.
ally stale eggs and pieces Of mud
were thrown. but nobody was hurt
The strikers discouraged violence. but
they did most effective work In induc-
ing the non-union men to quit. and In
this they were assisted by several wo-
men, relatives of the strikers, who
boarded the cars and pleaded with tie
new men to leave their posts. One OF
these women was provided with money.
and when argument failed she induced
the non-union men to quit BY paying
them.
Many of the cars were left on the
lines deserted and we're afterward
picked up by inspectors and taken to
the terminals.
The important development Of the
day was the refusal Of the company to
let the state board arbitrate the only
question involved-the recognition OF
the union.
