Chicago, Nov. IL. - A victory, tenn
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
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. 1ne last
car returned to the barns at 4:30
o'clock, and after it had been safely
housed the days work came to an end.
More Arrests Were Made
durins he day than at any time since
the strike was declared The most
trouble was experienced between
Twenty.second and Thirty-ninth
streets. In the blocks bounded by
these thororghfares crowds of men,
women and children congregated. and
as the first cas- passed, hooted at the
police and non.Hnion employees. This
was soon followed by more violent
demonstrations. Huge barbados
were piled upon the tracks. stones
were thrown at the cars and hand
to.hand conflict between the police
and the crowd followed in several in
stances Several patrol wagons which
had previously been called were
filled with prisoners. One of the men
arrested. who gave his name as Nc
Quad. is said to have placed a
cartridge of large caliber upon the
track near Harrison and Clark streets.
Thousands of spectators were in the
street at the time, and, believing it
was dynamite. became
PanIc-stricken With Fear
as they dashed for places of safety.
Assistant Chief of Police Herman
Schuelter, who was near at the time,
removed the cartridge and arrested
McQuaid.
1t being Sunday the absence of
traffic teams on the streets lesscned
the trouble for the police in the mat
ter of blockades, but another source
of serious annoyance was the great
crowds OF idlers, sightseers and
sympathi3ers who were attracted by
thousands to the streets through
which the cars had to pass. During
the latter part of the afternoon, how
ever, the interference with the prog
ress OF the cars had greatly dimin-
ished and many of the cars were half
filed with passengers as they sped
along unmolested. -....
AS far as known no further attempt
was made yesterday by either the Of
ficials of the company, the striking
employees or the state board of arbi-
tration to bring about Il conciliatory
settlement of the trouble and the in
dications are for a long protracted
struggle.
Breakup of Strike Imminent.
"Our old employees are reporting
back for work." said William M.
Weatherwax, division superintendent
of the road, last night. AT the car
barns at Vincennes Road and Seventy
seventh street many returned to the
company's employ yesterday morning.
do not care to say how many, but the
breakup OF the strike seems immi-
nent."
