A BOYCOTT is DECLARED
THE STRIKERS AROUSE THE IRE OF GEN
ERAL AXtINE.
Backed by Sympathy and Aid Of The Labor
Unions, They Boycott the Street Cars
And the Troops.

Cleveland, Ohio. July 29.-Now that
order has been practically restored with
in the city. the street railroad strik,. hats
resolved itself into a general boycott of
the Big Consolidated Comp9ry, and
everybody who rides upon its cars. APP
parently the strikers have the sympa-
thy and active cooperation Of all the
labor organizations i'll the city, and not
only are merchants being punished for
riding on the tabooed cars but they are
warned against selling goods to other
people who do ride, on threat of losing
the trade of union men. Instances are
given in which druggists have refused
to sell medicine to people who were ac-
cused of patr0nizing the Big CONSOLE
dated, and physicians have been boy
cotted for riding on the cars while going
to see their patients.
The boycott Of the troops has aroused
the ire of Adjutant General AXline,
who declares that there is a State law to
punish people who interfere with the
militia. There is one section of the
statutes which provides maximum
penalty of loco fine and six months
Imprisonment for every person who tries
to persuade or discourage member OF
the National Guard from responding to
Il call for riot duty.
y General Axline says the boycott and
the threat of certain employers to put
on the blacklist those employees who
turned out with the militia are covered
by this law, and he threatens to insti-
tute prosecutions against dealers if the
boycott is continued. He says also that
actions may be begun under the civil
rights law, and he sent several soldiers
to a restaurant today for dinner with
the express purpose Of beginning such an
action against the proprietor if he re-
fused to serve them.

quest that proper punishment be meted

ter of indemnity. 1t may be that the
families of the dead men may make de-
