the entire force OF city police con
eentrated at the scene of action, the

for the day.

Schwenck, of Chicago, a non-union
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. \ fifth non-union man. who
had been an inspector for the com
pany, became frightened, and when
his sweetheart ciung to his neck and
dragged him from the car. he was
greeted with cheers by the strikers.

One policeman was hit ON the foot
by brick, and another of the non
union men who is prisoner was
roughly handled, but not badly hut.
The cars were badly damaged by
bricks and stones.
-Four cars were started out with non
union motormen and conductors. each
carrying II policemen, while 100 po-
licemen were massed in the vicinity,
but when the first ear reached Tonti

thizers made a rush. got possession
and won the day with ease. The po-
lice made no show of resisting the as

but the police in his ear took it away
from him. j. III. 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 a call for 900 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
adiutant 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 il will be ready to
run 25 ears Wednesday if protection
is given, but from the outlook there
will not be much additional protec-
