LAWLE ESSNESS
Strike at Cleveland Cause Of MANY At
tacks Of Non-Union Mon.

Cleveland, O., May, 1e.-Many acts
Of lawlessness were committed in
connection. with the street car strike
between midnight and dawn. Trolley
wires were cut, crews were driven
from their cars, and in some instances
non-union men were attacked by
strike sympathizers.
Trolley wires in Lakewood, West
ern suburb, we're cut in several places,
with the result that the Municipal
Traction Company announced that
no further attempt would be made to
operate cars in that section until the
Lakewood authorities guaranteed pro-
lection for it's men and cars. Because
of alleged discrimination against
Lakewood by the Municipal Traction
Company in the matter Of fare, it is
claimed that the authorities of the
town make no effort to suppress law
less acts committed by strike sympa-
thizers.

do this, or that Mr.. Puzdy will be
