o'clock this morning the greatest street
car strike in the history of Chicago
commenced. Twenty-one lines are
tied up comprising all of the lines of
the Chicago Railway Company The
strike order was formally issued by
the ratification meeting last night 1t

any attempt was made to run cars,
while on the south side the elevated
lines and the Illinois Central were
overtaxed in their efforts to bring be-
lated workers and business men down
town. Shortly before 8 o'clock the
big barn door swung back and six
trains including mail train sand
wiched in, started out with nom union
help. No effort was made to stop them
until they passed outside the police
detail at the barns. when they were
greeted with a storm of missiles.
Three trains managed to weather the
storm but the other three crews aban-
doned their cars and fled to the barns
bleeding from wounds. One man was
so badly hurt that he was taken to a
hospital.
The mail train was not mOlested but
could not be moved because the trains
ahead and behind were abandoned.
The first cars reached the down town
districts on the Wentworth line. They
had an uneventful trip until they
reached Clark and VanBuren. where.

dows in nearby stores suffered and
several people in the crowd were hurt.
