Street Car
 Strike or
Considerable Disorder Pre- vails Among the Men
 at Cleveland, o.

Cleveland O., May 1S.-The street car system of this city was tied up at 5 o'clock Saturday by the vote of the local union of Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Electric Railway Elm ployes. About 300 motormen and conductors formerly employed by the Forest City company, the original 8 cent fare line, did not join the strike. Also quite large number of men em- ployed by other lines did not quit work The latter are largely made up of men who have been broken in since the strike was first threatened, ten days ago.
 On many lines no attempt was made 10 run cars early in the day, although later occasional cars were manned and sent out from the barns. These cars were generally greeted by hoots and yells from throngs of working people who were walking to their places of employment
 The leaders of the union claim that while negotiations have been under way looking to the arbitration of the differences between the employees and the company the officials of the latter have systematically laid off old union men, reduced them to the extra list, supplanted them with Forest City men and given every indication of the pur- pose of the Municipal Traction com ~f vice and use arbitration only as a cloak for delay.
 A large crowd gathered at Lake view barns in the morning when an at tempt was made to start out several cars. Strike sympathizers attacked the non-union crews and sharp melee followed, in which score of men are reported to have been clubbed.
 Chief Kohlef and number of off cers rushed to the scene in !automo-

piles and dispersed the crowd. Cnler Kohler was struck in the neck with a stone, but not seriously hurt.
 A mob of strike sympathizers armed with crowbars and other tools at tempted to tear up street railway tracks on St Clair avenue. The mob was dispersed.
 The crew of car on the St. Clair avenue line was dragged from the car by the same mob. The conductor was badly beaten and his scalp laid open with a brick, Both conductor and motorman were finally rescued by the police.
 Before the strike President Dupont of the Municipal Traction company would arbitrate only the legal effort of the contract the Forest City com pany had with the union and insisted that all or none of the points should be submitted to arbitration.
