That the presence of the strong force
of militia now doing service in this city
has already had Il snlutary effect upon
the awless element was shown by the
fact that the obstruction placed upon the
tracks of the Big Cons plidatrd street car
lines during the night We're found to I've
much less than at any time since the
present strike was started.
Cars on four of the most important
lines in the Big Consolidated system were
operated throughout the night. Practi.
cally the full quota of cars is now run
ming on all lines except the Abbey, Tn
ion and Clark avenues
Have but Few Passengers.
It is. however. IL notable fact that most
of the cars are either empty or carry only
a few passengers. even when traffic is
usually the heaviest Either through fear
of violence or ont of sympathy for the
strikers very large proportion decline,
unde '-''" c';t 'H''''t'ons. to ride on the
Big { n>n.intpd lines and in most cases
walk many blocks in order to reach the
cars of the Little Consolidated company,
which is not involved in the strike.
About 300 troops are now acting i'll
corporation with the regular police force
Of tie city. under the direction of the
mayor and the command of the head of
the military power of the state. This
force will probably be further augmented
during the day by the arrival of several
additional companies of soldiers from
outside points The majority of the sol
diers now on duty here served through
out the Spanish American war. With
such Il force at his command, Mayor
Farley believes that he is in a position to
suppress promptly any further rioting.
President Everett of the Big CONSOLE
dated has modified his statement to the
effect that none of the strikers would he
re-employcd by announcing that he will
take back $50 of the old men. provided
they will apply individually. He adds
that possibly this number may be in
creased. rs vacancies occur as result of
the "weeding out" process to take place
among the new men employed since the
strike began. The strike leaders, how
ever. still insist that every man must he
taken hack and above all. that the union !
must h recognized by the company. They
claim that their ranks remain practically |
unbrolicn and chat they are in a position |
to hold ont io1"tinitely: that the Rig |
Consolidated is losing money to the OK |
tent of many thousands of dollars per
day und sooner or later will concede the |
demands of the strikers.
a Suburban Riot.
A riot occurred at Collnwood a sub |
urban town, at the crossing of the Big |
Consolidated and shore electric lines 4 |
spike placed between the ends of two |
rails caused n car to jump the track and |
block both lines. \ mob of 400 persons |
quickly rat h cred and prltcd the nonunipn |
crew III. ali sorts of missiles a second |
car came up. and the nonunion men ON it
received similar treatment Eventually
the crews of both cars were chased away.
\ call for assistance was responded to
by Captain Raider of the naval reserves
with Is men. Captain Raider addressed |
the crowd and said that he would order
Il charge unless it Immediately dispersed
The mob answered with a shower of
stones and bricks. A number of persons,
including several members of the re-
serves. were struck and slightly injured.
A charge with fixed bayonets was then
ordered. and the mob quickly scattered !
in all directions.
Ii is stated that a meeting of the mo-
tormen and conductors employed by the
Little Consolidated lines. of which COM
pany Senator NJ. a. Hanna is president
will be held for the purpose of discussing
the strike on the Big Consolidated lines
1t is not believed. however. that these
men contemplate Il strike, as they have
heretofore repeatedly announced that
they had no grievances.
