LITTLE TROUBLE.

Though there was much excitement and
the streets were thronged with people.
little actual trouble was experienced by
the leading cars on the Wentworth ave-
nue line during the trip TO the business
district The cars started on the return
trip on almost schedule time. Four team
sters were arrested at intervals along the
way for attempting TO block the way and
were put aboard the cars.
Assistant Chief OF Police Schuttler ac-
companied the leading cars down town
and back. Five union men boarded diff
ferent cars soon after the start, paid their
fares and during the round trip used their
influence TO avert violence.
The return trip OF the Wentworth ave-
nue. cars was accomplished with COMPARE
tive ease. Several individual attempts at
blockading were made by drivers OF heavy
wagons. but the drivers were promptly ar
rested. As the cars passed Harrison
street the police were compelled TO charge
a crowd OF men and boys. but the as
semblase was quickly dispersed. Prepara-
tions were made 10 repeat the run.
At West Fifty-hrst street heavy rocks
were thrown from the tops OF fiat build
ings upon the roofs of the cars. The mo-
tormen put their cars at top speed and
nothing came OF this attack.
