Boston, Mass, June 7.-Riotous
scenes were caused by the calling of
a strike by the union employees of the
Boston elevated, which controls the
surface, subway and elevated street
railways in Greater Boston and many

charge on car was made by crowd
of 200 or more.
During the next five hours cars
were stoned, passengers were driven
with car crews to the streets, trolleys
were disconnected and tied down,
clashes with police reserves occurred
at score of points in Boston, Cam
bridge, Roxbury and Somerville, and
many arrests made.
The strikers were particularly in
censed at the action Of motorman
at Washington street and Adams
Square where they attempted to stop
a huge prepayment, semi-convertible
suburban car by standing on the
tracks. In the meantime striker
had smashed the windows and climcd
aboard. When the car was so feet
away from the crowd, he dragged the
motorman from the lever, threw him
to the floor and reversed the power.
