llalsted street near Archer avenue grow
ing out OF the recent street car strike a
non-unon conductor and non n-unon
motorman were attacked by mob and
their car partially wrecked.
The trouble started when the passengers,
several Of whom were women, refused to
pay their fares because the conductor did
not wear union button. The conductor
stopped the car and announced that it
would not start again until the fares were
paid.
While several Of the passengers seized
and roughly handled the conductor one
forced the motorman, at the point OF a re-
vOlyer, to proceed
The conductor probably owes his life
to Policeman John OlIara, who quickly
grasping the situation, rushed the former
to private residence nearby and throwing
open the front door forced him inside
Then appearing at a window with drawn
revolver, the policeman threatened to
shoot any one who attempted to enter.
After driving the car for several blocks
the motorman leaped to the ground and
ran, pursued by crowd of men and boys.
The crowd finally failing to recapture
either Of the fugitiyes returned to the
car and partially wrecked it.
Traffic was stopped for an hour and the
mob, which grew to large proportions, was
only dispersed upon the arrival of a pa
troll wagon load of policemen.
The conductor and motorman are said
to have been employed curing the recent
strike as strike breakers.
