The Situation in Cleveland.

Cleveland, o.. July 26-The presence
of more than l, 400 armed Troops IN the
city seems to have had salutary effect
on the rioters. Cleveland has actually
passed through q hours without q
street car being blown up or person
shot. All was not peace last night,
however. There were few dislur-
Dances such as pelting street cars and
interruptiDg their progress, nece5slta-
ting the dispensing OF crowds by police
ard troops, but there WAS little damage
lone either to property or to persons.
A few days ago the press committee OF
the strikers made bold statement that
they considered force absolutely es-
sen isl in the present case" The de-
claration has served to embarress the
leaders OF the strike greatly and they
have disavowed it. They claim that any
members Of the uuion proved to haN e
resorted to violence will be promptly
expelled from the Union. Business
agent Pratt says the strikers are re
ceiving financial support from many big
firms and it liz we'll known that many
wealthy individuals are giving largely
TO the same end.
South Brooklyn has been taken
charge of by the military sent out by
Mayor Farley. An OHIO State law
gives the mayor OF the principal city III
d county power to exercise certain juris
dicton over all the county in
riotous times. The village across
the Brooklyn bridge has been in
more or lees of q turbulent state ever
since the strike commenced. When
constables in the village began search
ing non.union men for arms, the city
authorities decided TO take the law into
their own bands.
As another step toward the suppress
sion of riotng in Cleveland, Mayor Far
ley, after consultation with the Law
department, issued a proclamation
in which ali persons are hereby
warned not to assemble or col
ect for the using OF force or vic
ence against persons or property.
All persons are warned not to eX
plode or fire any squib, rocket, crack
err, roman candle, or other combusti-
bic, fireworks, or substance, nor fire
any firearms of any kind. Parents ard
guardians are warned to keep children
and minors from the streets and TO re-
strain them from participating in aDy
noisy or rotous demonstrations.
