Forced to Practically Sus-
pend Operations.
CLASHES AREfREQuENT
Men Claim Company Has Been
Unfair While Pretending
to Arbitrate.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 16.-Cleve-
lands street car system was tied up
today by the almost unanimous vote
of the local union of Amalgamated AS
sociation of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. The strike is the re-
suit of the failure of the Municipal
Traction company, lessor of the con-
solidated lines of the city, and the en-
ployes to come to an agreement over
the matter of wages and other alleged
grievances.
Some Did Not Join.
About 800 motormen and conductors
formerly employed by the Forest City
company, the original Scent fare line.
did not join in the strike There are
also quite large number of men en-
ployed on other lines who did not quit
work. The latter were largely made
up of men who had been broken in
since the strike was first threatened
10 days ago
No Attempt ON Some Lines.
On many lines there was no attempt
made to run cars early today, although
later an occasional car was manned
and sent out from the barns. These
cars were generally greeted by boots
and yeIfs from the throngs of working
| people who were walking to their
places of employment.
Smash the windows.
At the corner of Superior avenue
and East One-Hundred- -and-fifth street
a large crowd collected when car
bound down town appeared. About
| half the car windows were smashed
| Police rescued the motorman and con-
| ductor and prevented further trouble.
A large crowd at Lake View barns at
tackled the non-union crews when at
| temptS were made to send out cars. In
the melee a score of men are reported
dubbed Chief Hohler and number
of officers were rushed to the scene in
automobiles and dispersed the crowd.

stone, but not seriously hurt.
| Disable a Car.
| An attempt to run cars on the Payne
avenue line was early frustrated by
strike sympathizers. They took away
the controller lever of the car, pulled
down the trolley and cut off the trolley
rope. The motorman and conductor
left the car standing in the street. La
ter it was hauled back to the barns
At the junction of Collinwood and Eu-
cid Beach lines in the eastern SUBJ
urbs switch point was broken off and
a telephone pole thrown across the
tracks, effectually tying up progress of
cars in that section for the time being.
Say Company was Unfair.
| Leaders of the street car mems union
claim that while negotiations have been
under way looking to arbitration of
the differences, the company has sys-
Dramatically laid off old union men, re-
duced them to the extra list, and sup
planted them with Forest City men,
and had given every indication it was
the purpose of the Municipal Traction
company to force the union men out of
the service and use arbitration only as
a cloak for delay.

BELIEVE THEY HAVE
 2ND WORLDS FAIR
Group Adjoining Famous Mine Is To Be Thoroughly
 ProSpeCted,

PATAGONIA, Ariz., Sept. 2S.-Work win be commenced soon prospecting the group of claims adjoining the Worlds Fair mine. This week an option on the group was secured Dy L. NJ. Raines, a mining man well known in Arizona and Sonora, and who makes his head Iuarters at No gales. Associated wit, MT. Raines IS P. J. Mcintyre, also a Nogales min ing man. In the group are four claims, the Eldorado, the Silver Queen, the New Moon and Ora Plata. The FL dorado is the extension of the Worlds Fair mine, the Silver Queen coming next No work other than surface prospecting has been done on the claims, but the owners believe they have a second Worlds Fair and the men who have secured the option on the property are of the same opinion. Of course, the fame of the Worlds Fair mine mas already penetrated every state in the Union, widely known as it is as the richest silver mine in the southwest and commonly referred to in Arizona as Frank Powers bank. In this section it is frequently said that when MT. Powers wants $25,000 or s30,0O0, he takes out few car loads of ore and ships it to some smelter. As the deal on the group of claims mentioned was just made a few days ago, plans for the development work have not been made yet. Several diff
 ferent people are interested in the claims involved in the deal Tn, Fl. dorado Is owned by William Murphy of Patagonia and Barney Quinn of No
 gales; the Silver Queen is owned by
 Phil Herold and E. D. Miller of No
 gales and William Murphy; the New
 Moon and the Ora Plata are owned
 by William Murphy and Frank Nugeni of Patagonia.

 COPPER PRICES
Red Metal Certain To Be First To Respond To Quickening of industries Throughout the Country and Europe.

The Boston Financial Jews of Sep. tember 9. says
 More strength and activity charac- terized the copper metal market yes terday, but chiefly in London. In the local market prices remained prac- ticalls unchanged at 1850 for Lake and 1925 for electrolytic as the asking price, but the London closing showed slight advance over the previous day.
 It is reported than an effort is beluu made by local producers to prevent any further reeessions in the price here and to this end are tryIng ,u stimulate buying movement abroad.
 On the other hand large copper in terests in New York refused to sell copper at an advance over the closing prices in London for November ship ment on the basis that copper stocks are low and the market is in a posi- tion for a substantial advance on the buying by large consumers who have been conducting their business ca : hand to mouth basis.
 Since the first of the month exports of copper have amounted to app, "A. 1D.UuN loIS- AhG is reporting the arrival of consider able copper from foreign ports, but such arrivals were on steamers which came in more than month ago. The expectation is that the imports for September will be rather large.
 There is one thing to be remem- bered in the copper market and that is there has been no very heavy seil- ing of copper for a year. All mines for a portion of the year were either shut down entirely or curtailed pro duction extensively. That there has been some consumption goes without saving and for a while the consump tion was in excess of production. All local copper interests report that they are sold up for two months at leasl and are not pressing present ouIpd' for sale. That a revival in business has set in is evident and this revival will grow rather than shrink. As cop Der will be one of the first industries to respond to increased activity tne conclusion is that the price musc ad vance with the demand. Consumers stocks are known to be low and wItn better demand for finished materials manufacturers must come i nto the market for new supplies of the raw product.

STOCKS QUIET
 WITH LITTLE
 PRICE CHANCE
Market Reported In Better Condition Than For Some Days Past With Good De- mand for Standard Oil.
CBy Frank J. Graf.)


 Today's market shows but very lit tie improvement over that ot yesuer. day, stocks closing about the ss.IHo as the opening. During the early part of the market stocks were pretIy -ell sold off in small lots and lower prices were notced all along the list. Toward the close however there was consid. erable buying and stocks were in much better demand. which soon caused stocks to see better prices. The market as a whole is in a better con dition that for the last few days, due to the fact that stocks are not being forced onto the market aud those that are offered are as a rule well supported.
 The Boston market fails to show any particular strength or activity, but closed at a fractional lower than the opening. The curb list still remains inactive. The Keweenaw Copper Co. have called for an assessment of S2.00 per share. s1.00 per share is to be paid on the, first of November, 1908 and the other $100 is to be paid on the first of June 1909. Those that have not sent in their Comanche stock should do so at once, as the time is limited to those that wish to take up their rights. Stocks ought to be bought up and held till after election when better prices VII prevail.
