HAIL OF BRICKS AND STONES

Cleveland, o., June 15.-Three non-union
men were sent to hospitals today serious
ly injured by striking street railway men.
Others received slight wounds. Shortly af-
ter noon a Euclid avenue car on which a
number of non-union men were riding
without police protection, was attacked.
A voley of stones and bricks was hurled
at the car and the conductor took to his
heels. The mob then assaulted some of
the other non-union men on the car, in
juring them quite severely.
Soon afterward another car was attack
ed, apparently by the same mob, which
were several women passengers in the car,
but that made no difference. Bricks and
stones were hurled through the windows.
The women screamed and made a rush for
the doors and all escaped injury. brick
struck Conductor Wuerst in the face, cut
ting a bad cash, and a stone which hit
him on the head rendered him unconscious.
Motorman Fox was hit by shower of
brick and stone and so badly hurt that he
had to be carried to the car barns. In this
case, as in the other, the mob had dis
persed when the police arrived.
A little later fifteen or twenty men
boarded a third car and a desperate fight
ensued between them and the new men,
killing the conductor and motorman. Both
were beat with clubs and beaten in a
brutal manner. When the police arrived
most of the rioters had ridden away on
bicycles. which they had concealed in lots
near by.
This evening a car was stopped at An
nandale and Wade Park avenues by a
crowd of angry men, who began to hurl
bricks and stones. Motorman Schriver
was hit with a brick but managed to es-
cape. Conductor ]. T. Leatherwood stuck
to the car but was finally hit in the tenn
pie with @ brick He is seriously hurt.
The crowd then dispersed.
The police think this mob was the same
that attacked the other cars and they are
convinced that 1t is an organized band of
strikers The company has offered re-
ward of $500 for the arrest of the men who
attacked the cars today.

ALABAMA NEGROES
Were Met at Kansas Mines by Member
of the Union.

Pittsburg, Kans., June 15-The threat of
the coal miners to import negroes to take
the places of the striking union miners was
made good today when the Western Coal
and Mining company, which is the corpora
tion through which the Missouri Pacific
Railway company operates its mines,
brought in 175 negroes from Tennessee and
Alabama and unloaded them at Fleming
where stockades had been built around the
Missouri Pacific mines.
The union men were out enforce to meet
the negroes, and endeavored with consid-
cradle success to prevent them from going
to work. Among the union men were many
negroes who had been brought up from the
south during the strike of 1893, and these
were largely instrumental in keeping many
of the ne miners out of the stockades.
The result was that only a few of the inn
ported negroes, those having families and
being destitute, went into the stockades.
There was no disturbance. The agents of
the big companies which are fighting the
union declare that enough negroes will be
imported to operate their mines in Kanas,
Missouri. Arkansas and Indian Territory.
In case of resistance, they rely on the in
junction asked for in the federal court at
Leavenworth yesterday to prevent the
strikers from interfering with their oper-
alton.
