Our brother correspondents, LANCE,
OF the Times, last week, gave parents
some very good advice in regard to
their children. But, my brother, such
conditions always exist in commune
ties where the school in which the
fundamental principles of law and
order is taught the child, is not
upheld. And when it comes to pass
that no teacher regardless of their
qualifications, experience or ability is
able to give satisfaction, such school
you can mark as a hot-bed where such
boys and girls grow that are apt to
make their parents blush some day.

pressed for an explanation of the diff
ferent stations they declined to talk.
VIII Not Strike.
1t was rumored during the forenoon
that trouble might be expected on the
Union Elevated railroads, but early in
the afternoon President Rossiter
stated that no hitch would occur there.
The engineers on the elevated system
had been notified that as soon as the
third rail, or electric motor system,
was adopted their wages would be re-
duced from $3.50 to 1925 per day. The
engineers kicked against this suggest
ed reduction, but Tuesday afternoon
they were assured by the management
that the rate of wages now existing
would be maintained.
The Cleveland Strike.
Cleveland, o., July 19.-Whether or
not the quiet that has prevailed pre-
cedes storm to come in the street
railway strike is the question that
everybody is asking. The strikers are
pursuing different tactics from those
followed in the former strike. They
are not interfering with the nonunion
men who are operating cars, nor will
they tell what their plans are. The Off
cials of the company also refused TO
talk, but they operated cars on several
of the lines Tuesday under police pro-
lection without molestation. Prepara-
tons are being made to resume opera
lions on other lines, and it is apparent
that new men are to be secured as rap
idly as possible to take the places of
the strikers. The state board of arb-
tration is trying to bring about arbitra-
ton, but thus far no success has at
tended the efforts in that direction.

Looks Like the Men VIII Fan.
Master Workman Parsons and Dis
trict Master Pines Mere very confident
that the strikers would VIA the fight,
but, Judging from the number OF cars
in operation Tuesday, the assertion OF
the railroad managers that the strike
would fizzle out seems TO be wei! found
ed The strikers are severely handi-
capped, inasmuch as they have no
funds to back them up, and in many in
stances there is sad lack of concerted
action on the part of their leaders.
That the men are in earnest goes with
out SAYING. Nine-tenths of them are
thoroughly honest in their intentions,
but from Individual statements it is
easily inferred tina. they are fast los
ing confidence. President Rossiter
stated that the men on strike would
not be Disseminated against if they
returned to work at once. but so far
not one of the strikers has seeded
from the ranks.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the strike is being conducted very
peaceably, and the authorities hope
that the difference between employers
and employees will be adjusted without
any serious trouble or violation of the
lazy.
I've Hurt In Riot.
During the day the police made sew
eral arrests of persons who ipterfered
with the progress of the cars Oh the
Nassau lines, but no serious outbreak
occurred until after six o'clock. "A
small riot occurred few minutes after
six o'clock, in which two men were
painfully but not seriously hurt. A
mob of some 400 persons attacked a

and Motorman A. Latham and Conduct
or w. u. Mulcahy We're pulled off the

arm broken and Mulcahy received a
fracture of the nose. Several persons
who were in the neighborhood rushed
to the assistance of the motorman and
conductor and frightened the crowd off
by firing their rcvolvers in the air.
Three arrests We're made, and in less
than Is minutes the cars We're running
on Roadway of eight minutes. The
police arrangements for the protection
of life and property were nearly as per-
feet as possible.
About noon policemen were sent
from headquarters to all the elevated
road stations in the borough OF Brook
