Hurt-Probable Strike of Miners.
Cleveland, O., June 12.-At four
o'clock in the morning the motormen
and conductors of the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company. known locally
as the Big Consolidated. declared
strike. tying up the entire system, IN
GLIDING the Euclid, Wade Park, Cedar,
Central, Scovill, Wilson. Broadway.
Jennings and Brooklyn lines. Word
was sent at once to committees at each
barn to not let the day cars start out.
President Bryan announced that no
more conferences would be held with
the company unless the officers seek out
and treat with the union. Not car
will be run on any of the lines of the
Big Consolidated to-day il the men can
help it. Men on the way here to take
the places of strikers have been headed
off, the men say.
One of the mems demands that
the old and slower schedule be re-
adopted, has been conceded by the
company. The real fight is over the
recognition of the union.
About 900 men are now out, but the
linemen are expected to follow the
conductors and motormen.
An Angry Demonstration:
AT nine o'clock in the morning, just
five hours after the big strike was de-
clared, the Big Consolidated made its
first attempt to run a car over its lines.
It was started out of the Lake View
barns. The car had proceeded but
few hundred feet when it was sur
rounded by strikers and sympathizers.
The crowd yelled and hooted. Then
eggs began to fly. The men on the
car paid no particular attention to the
demonstration of the crowd.
The crowd surged about the car and
join the strikers .2 10
Wise Council Prevails.
The situation was assuming a threat
ening aspect when President Bryan, of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Car Men. drove up at furious pace
He addressed the now thoroughly
aroused crowd urging them tol4.i,1in
from violence and do nothing to dis
credit their cause. The men yielded
and the car went on. Twice within
few hundred yards the car was stopped,
but later allowed to proceed.
At 9:40 another car loaded with dep
uties was started from the Lake View
barns. This also was hooted, but no
violence was attempted.
Both cars made the round trip, the
new men being jeered at on the down
town streets.
AS the first car was entering the
barn, on its return, Jacob Kratz was
struck on the head by one of the stones
thrown from the mob. He is in seri-
Gus condition
At noon seven cars had left the Lake
View barns. After the fourth car had
left there was no further trouble The
motormen and conductors were left
severely alone. After that cars contin-
'ued to run at infreguent intervals. The
suburban cars carrying United States
mails were not interfered with The

ings have been held at Robertsdale and
Clearfield. at which the national and
district officers of the United Mine
Workers association were authorized
to prepare the machine miners of the
whole district for strike, to be de-
clared as soon as those officials thought
the time ripe. A letter from a national
organizer received here declares that
this will be within a month or six
weeks.
A complete tie-up of the mines in the
central region, which includes the coun-
ties of Cambria, Clearfeld, jefferson,
Armstrong. Huntingdon, Bedford,
Somerset, Center and Clarion, would
seriously hamper the great ship coaling
depots of the eastern seaboard, for that
is where most of the product goes.
