RIOTS At NEW ORLEANS.
The Strike Of the Street Railway
Men at New Orleans Is
Becoming Acute,
FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO OPERATE CARS.
Militia Officers In the City are Pre-
pairing to Respond to Possible
Call for Troops-The Mayor and
Chief Of Police Hold a Confer
ence,

New Orleans, Oct. THE railway
company tried to obey the order of
the mayor to run passenger cars
Tuesday morning, but with almost
the entire force of city police con-
centrated at the scene of action, the
four cars started got no further than
five squares from the Canal street
barn, and the attempt was abandoned
for the day.
In a disturbance at Tonti street,
where a car was he'd up, F. H..
Schwenck, of Chicago, a non-upion
conductor, was hit on the head with
brick and badly hurt, and he, with
three others, were bodily taken pos
session of by the strikers. Two were
kept prisoners in union headquarters
all afternoon, carefully guarded, and
not even members of the union were
allowed to talk to them. The other
two are concealed at some other point
which is not known except to the
strikers. A fifth non-union man, who
had been an inspector for the COM
pany, became frightened, and when
his sweetheart chung to his neck and
dragged him from the car, he was
greeted with cheers by the strikers.
/. is to be married Wednesday night.
One policeman was hit on the foot
by brick, and another of the non
union men who is a prisoner was
roughly handled, but not badly hurt.
The cars were badly damaged by
bricks and stones.
Fourcars were started out with nom
union motormen and conductors, each
carrying II policemen, while 100 pc.
licemen were massed in the vicinity,
but when the first car reached Tonti
street. the strikers and their sympa-
thizers made a rush, got possession
and won the day with ease, The po-
lice made no show Of resisting the as
sault.
George w. Centerfeld, a st. Louis
man, started to resist the onslaught
by using his controller as "A weapon,
but the police IN his car took it away
from him. j. II. Edison, of st. Louis,
who came here with 20 men, was in
charge of the last car, and displayed
much GOODNESS in the face of the apa-
thy of the police and the onslaught of
strikers. He deliberately climbed on
top of his car and tied the remnants
of the trolley rope. When he came
down the mob was too much for him,
however, and as he showed signs OF
resistance, the police took him and
conveyed him to the central station
in the patrol wagon, escorted by ten
mounted officers.
The company informed Mayor Cap
devielle that the police protection was
inadequate, and at four o'clock TIE
mayor issued call for 1000 volunteer
citizen police. The responses to the
call have been few, and it looks now
as though the militia will be called
out. The mayor conferred with the
adjutant general in Baton Rouge and
urged upon him the necessity OF hav'
ing the troops in readiness for call,
The mayor tried early in the day
TO swear in emergency patrolmen, but
only seven men answered the call
The company says it will be ready to
run 25 cars Wednesday If protection
Is given, but from the outlook there
will not be much additional protec'
ton given.
