Chicago, Nov. 23.-Fierce fighting in
which the police used their clubs freely
and twice their revolyers, marked the OPP
ening of the State street cable line by the
Chicago City Railway today. AS far as
can be ascertained nobody was seriously
injured, although there were many broken
heads among the rioters who came into
contact with the clubs of the police.
If any members of the mob were injured
by the bullets of the police and non-union
men or the cars they were carried off by
their friends before the fact was known to
others
While the fighting was going on in the
streets the usual conferences were in prog
ress and propositions and counter PROPOSE
tions were passing back and forth.
Late in the afternoon it was said by
Mayor Harrison, President Mahon of the
street car men, and the attorneys for both
sides, that an agreement had been reached,
but little definite was known concerning
its nature
Late tonight street car men locked them
selves in a room on the eleventh floor OF
the Ashland block, the company's offices
bein gin room on the ninth floor, and the
conferences were again in full blast. II
was predicted that the strike would be de-
clared off by tomorrow morning. but moth

make such an assertion certain
The hardest fight of the day took place

mob hiding behind n fence stoned the cars
which We're guarded by officers. The po
lice were over the fence at once and fired
several shots over the head of the fleeing
strikers Many of the mob who were slow
on foot were overtaken by the police and
soundly raped with clubs. Few arrest
were made, the officers contenting them
selves with scattering the crowds.
