RIOTS IN CLEVELAND
Street Car Strike in Cleveland, Ohio,
Leads to Outbreaks of Mob
Violence.
MOTORMEN PELTED WITH STONES
Nobody Was Seriously Hurt in the Riots
The Police Force is Inadequate to Keep
the Street Oar Line Running.

Cleveland, O., June 16.-All through
the forenoon the streets were quiet,
cars being run without molestation. At
the noon hour, when the big factories
let out their men, trouble was expe-
rienced all over the city. The police had
been drawn into the outskirts OF the
town, and rioters, seeing this, gathered
in force in the doWn-town streets. At
the corner of Wood and st. Clair streets
several hundred factory girls lombard
ed passing cars with bottles, stones and
other missiles from shop windows. A
crowd of 1000 people blocked the cars
at Superior and Bank streets, and
stoned them at will. Only two arrests
were made. On st. Clair street. be-
tween Bank and Water, two cars were
attacked with missiles from the sur
rounding buildings.
Shortly after noon two large stones
thrown from a roof crashed down
through a Wade Park car on Perkins
avenue, narrowly missing the motor
man. A crowd of 1000 people here soon
dispersed, but another Immediately
formed at Case and Perkins avenues.
The track was blocked here, and the
crowd, largely composed of women and
children, vigorously stoned the passing
car At Vinton and Clark avenues, a
brick thrown from the crowd injured a
policeman, and sharp melee followed.
At Holmden avenue a crowd of 2.oG0
people was encountered. The motor
man was hit with paving stone, and
volley after volley of stones and eggs
was sent into the car. Police re-en-
forcements finally arrived and drov,
the mob back. Two strikers, John Mur-
ply and j. j. Crax, We're arrested, The
first attempt to open the south side line
failed, rioters being too strong, and no
adequate police force being availabl =.
