Cleveland, July 24.--Cleveland streets |
on Saturday night were the scenes of |
some of the worst riots in the history |
Of the strike OF the Big Consolidated |
employees. Shots we're repeatedly |
fred into mobs by policemen or by |
crews in charge of the cars. One man
was hit by bullet and slightly |
wounded while attempting to escape |
from an officer, after he had thrown
missiles at car. In several centers
of disturbance the police and soldiers
charged the crowds, and batons and
bayonets added emphasis TO orders TO
| disperse.
| Escorted by 40 men from Troop \
two cars were started from the Miles
avenue barns. At the Broadway mar
ket house boots of derision greeted
them, and the motormen fired several
| shots. This incensed the strike
sympathizers, and a crowd quickly
gathered, which obstructed the tracks
as the cars sped toward town. Re-
pcated charges were made by the
| troopers and detachment of police
and the mob finally dwindled to few
In number. Several men were dubbed
by the police. Stones were thrown at
the troopers, but missed their marks.
Four companies of the Fifth regi-
ment o. n. g., together with 100 mem
bers of the naval reserves and the
| cavalrymen of Troop A are acting in
conjunction with the police.
The hostile demonstrations were re-
newed in several portions of the city
on Sunday. A car on Burton street,
on the West Side, was attacked by n
big mob and during the fight the con-
ductor and motorman as well as two
policemen who were on board the car,
acting as guards, were terribly beaten
by clubs and stones in the hands of
the rioters. A squad of police finally
arrived on the scene and rescued the
policemen, conductor and motorman.
Late last night car on the Euclid
avenue line was almost completely
wrecked by running over n stick of
dynamite placed on the track. Sew
eral passengers were badly injured
