BAD EGGS HURLED AT MEN
Electric Lines In Ironton, Ohio, and Points Between Guyandotte, W.
 Va, and Hanging Rock, O., Are Tied Up.

Ironton, O., August s-rhe strike of the employees of the Camden Interstate Elec- tric railway today almost completely tied up the lines from Guyandotte. ". Va. to Hanging Rock. O. and inter mediate points. In seven hours all the non-union men were driven from the cars in this city by violence.
 Crowds gathered at street intersections hurling fruit. eggs and other missiles at motormen and conductors. At noon James Sanders, a union man. who re- fused to quit. was taken from his car and dragged toward the Ohio river. On promising not to resume his car he was escorted home in a roundabout way to escape the crowds. The conductor on the same car and linemen were taken home in cabs to escape the mobs. Cars were held up all over the city until noon. when traffic was suspended. The non-union men also were afraid to run through the crowds at Cattlettsburg. and Ashland. Ky. and other points on the Kentucky and West Virginia side of the Ohio river.
 The Ironton strikers ran cabs and se- cured more passengers than the street cars women who chose the ancient mode of conveyance in preference to street cars being cheered by the crowds. The con- cert at Beechwood park, the railway company's pleasure resort, was abandon ed. the Ironton orchestra declining to play after the strike was declared.
 The crowds of union sympathizers had full sway without molestation from the authorities, not a policeman showing up at any of the points of disturbance. The local militia leaves for camp at Newark tomorrow and the preservation of order will devoive upon the officials in case of more serious outbreaks, which are al Nnost certain to occur if the cars are op- erated.
 Disorder in Virginia.
 Huntington. W. Va, August s.-There has been general disorder today through out Huntington, Central City and other towns through which the lines of the Camden Interstate railway run, as a re- suit of the general strike order of motor men and conductors, which was to have taken effect today. But few of the motor men and conductors in West Virginia and Kentucky obeyed the order, but every man quit work along the lines in towns on the Ohio side of the river The lines here were blockaded by the friends of union labor and the city authorities eVeiheu PoWeiiSSs' UT Iatuer IHaue no eI- fort to preserve order. The sheriff also refused to act, and the company officials have appealed to Governor White for protection. Motormen, conductors and passengers have been dragged from cars and the disorder seems on the increase, but cars are still running with non-union labor on this side of the Ohio river.
 Electro Linemen Win.
 New Orleans, August 3-LThe street railway company and the telephone com panies aeceded to the demands of the striking electric linemen, agreeing to pay them $3 per day instead of $2 .50, virt- ually settling the strike after forty hours, without a single disturbance or overt act of any kind. The union claims this to be record performance.
