ers Make Trouble in Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. il. - A victory, ten
porary at least, was scored yesterday
by the management OF the Chicago
City railway against its striking en-
ployes. From early in the morning
until dark last night the company
succeeded in maintaining a regular
service on its Wentworth avenue
line.
twenty-five cars in all were put
into the service, but the schedule was
frequently interfered with by delays
caused by distractions being placed
on the tracks and the inexperience of
the men in charge Of the cars. The
most serious trouble occurred during
the morning when a number of ar
rests were made, but clashes between
the police and the crowds that lined
the streets were frequent during the
afternoon, and when darkness set in
it was not considered safe to send
more cars from the barns. Toe last
car returned to the barns at 430
o'clock, and after it had been safely
housed the days work came to an end.
More Arrests Were Made
during he day than at any time since
the strike was declared The most
trouble was experienced between

the trouble for the police in the mat
