MAYORS OF TOWNS CLASH.
cleyeIand's Mayor Threatens
to Subdue Brooklyn by
Thirst. Cars Run on
Twelve Lines.

The storm centre Of the street rail
way strike has, according to the authori-
ties, settled in Brooklyn, suburb
connected with Cleveland by a long
high bridge. At noon Wednesday $50
employees Of the Borne Steel Range
company blocked a car on the bridge
and dragged the motorman and conduc-
tor from their posts, inhicting with
their fists and other weapons injuries
more painful than serious. Soldiers on
guard at the barn about half a mile
away hurried to the scene, but the riot
ers had taken refuge in the factory,
which stands under the approach TO the
bridge. The factory was surrounded
and the premises searched, but there
was no clew by which the guilty ones
could be picked out.
Gen. Axline, in command of the
troops, in order to personally view the
situation took ride on an Orange street
car. He was in civilian dress and the
car was stoned at various intervals all
along the route. A rock came near hit
ting him. The general took other trips
through the troubled districts but de-
clined to give his views Of the situa-
ton.
The vigilance of the guards while
daylight aided them prevented trouble
Of a serious nature. Preparations for
mass meetings at various point were
made during the Cay. A meeting will
be held in Brooklyn to protest against
the action of Mayor Farley Of Cle7e-
land, who has assumed, under the
authority of an almost forgotten statute,
supreme police power in Cuyahoga coun-
ty. This relieves Mayor Phelps of the
suburb, together with his constabulary
force of their power and they don't
like it. The two mayors are not on the
terms that existed between the stored
governors Of the two Carolinas. The
soldiers and the Cleveland chief execu-
tives special police in Brooklyn are
not allowed to use the public hydrants
to get water, it is said, and upon vari-
Gus occasions bayonets were of neces-
sity used to convince shopkeepers that
it was wisest to sell soldiers what they
wanted. Mayor Farley mailed Mayor
Phelps letter in which he declared
that if the Cleveland cohorts had any
more trouble about getting water,
Cleveland, which pumps the water to
the suburb, would attempt to abrogate
the water truce and let the whole ham,
let 90 thirsty. Mayor Farley also is,
sued statement to the strikers, in
which he said that man who was
more loyal to his labor union than to
himself and his country was coward
and bad citizen.
P.ssident Mahon of the National un-
ion Of street car employees, in an inter,
view declared that as the street Cal
company, according to his information,
was losing thousands of dollars every
day, the strike would have to be settled
soon upon advances made by the com.
pany. On the face Of this President
Everitt again told the board of arbitra.
ton that the company had nothing tc
arbitrate. The board is unable to take
action looking to a settlement in view
of the attitude of the opposing forces
The task of distributing the soldiers
was Wednesday completed by Gen,
Axline. Mayor Farley declared that
be would suppress violence if he had tc
call out tie entire National Guard Of
Ohio. A boy vas shot Wednesday
evening by a non-union conductor, but
whether or not accidentally is moi
known.
