MILWAUKEE, GAR
MEN WALK OUT
Small Percentage OF Traction
Employees Quit Work.
STRIKE LONG THREATENED
Zen Leave Posts at Evening Rush
Hour. But Places Are Soon Filled
Trouble Caused by Oischarging
of Union Members.

Milwaukee.-Thel long threatened
strike order of the local street car
mems union has been issued. Ac-
cording to the company, fewer than
100 men responded to the order.
The strike affected only employees
of the Milwaukee Electric Railway
and Light company. About 1900
men are employed by this company,
so officials of the corporation predict
that the strike will not affect the
service in any way. They said that
it could not prove successful, as the
great majority of their employees
were not in sympathy with it and
would not support it.
The employees who responded to
the strike order Immediately left
their cars, taking their controllers
and cash boxes with them and leav-
ing the cars standing in the streets,
thus blocking other cars ard delay
ing for time thousands of people
who at that hour always crowd the
cars on their way home at night.
There was little disorder. Only
one man was arrested 1t is alleged
that he attempted to pull the trolley
pole from the wire on one car
manned by a crew that refused to
strike.
When the strike order was issued
the city workers were pouring from
Office buildings, stores, factories and
shops. The places of the strikers
were soon filled with reserves, who,
equipped in some cases with
wrenches, took the cars to the ter
minal building, where they were
manned with new crews and sent out.

And he said: My God, you're right;
call these people back,' Only few
had gone down and they car1e back.
Everything went all right after that"
