KOB PUTS IN A ROUGH PROTEST At the Continued Employment of the Non union Men, One of Whom Is Brutally Assaulted Proposition of the Company Seems to Have Won Fears of Trouble at Pana, Ills., When the Troops Leave In the Coeur d'Alenes. Cleveland, June 26. One outbreak of violence attended the resumption of traffic on a'.l the lines of the Big Con solidated street railway yesterday morning. There was objection in some ;arts of the city to the retention of the non-union men who were kept by the company. A party cf twenty-five as sembled near the Brooklyn bridge. Just Eouth of the city, and whenever a car came along with a non-union crew the lassc ngers were asked to disembark and wait for a car manned by a union crew. In most cases the passengers did as re ejuested. Finally a non-union conductor undertook to argue with the crowd and lie was promptly struck over the head with a club and he and the motorrr.an driven away. Mob Continued to Kule Cleveland. The mob refused to permit the car to move until a union crew came along and pushed it to the barns. As a rule the old men were glad the strike was Fettled, though there was- some grumb ling because the non-union men were kept. It is predicted that all the non union men will be glad to leave the city within thirty days, though the company imposed as one of the conditions of the agreement for the settlement of the trouble that all the new men should be treated with consideration by the old employes. The agreement between the company and its striking employes was reached at 6 o'clock Saturday evening. There was a hitch in the negotiations Saturday morning when the company refused to sign the proposition adopted at the meeting of the strikers Friday evening owing to certain paragra-pha that were susceptible of two Interpre tations. Council Committee Arranges Blatters. The special committeeof thecitycoun- cil went to work and after conference the council committee presented a form of agreement and asked both sides what they thought of it. President Everett, of the street railway company, said it suited him and he would sign it. The strikers also said it satisfied them. The document was therefore signed by both sides, the strikers' committee saying that no further ratification by the srtrikers was necessary. The agreement provides for the hearing of grievances ar.d a resort to arbitration In case the men and the company cannot agree, and It also provides for the reinstatement of practically 80 per cent, of the old men et once, the remainder except those who have been guilty of violence being placed on the waiting list.

Many negroes left the city Saturday for Tennessee and Alabama. end fifty left for Juliet yesterday to work in the quarries. The militia com pleted preparations Saturday to take its departure today. Leading colored miners state that they will not re-enter the mines unless a etronj? . guard Is placed arouna tnem. At day DreaK yes terday 100 negroes held a meeting at the Penwell office, at which they decided to refuse to re-enter the mine after the departure of the soldiers, unless a heavy guard surrounds the mine day and night. Adjournment was taken to Epringside mine park in the afternoon. where some 600 r.on-union white and I negro miners assembled and held a se cret meeting. It 19 reliably reported that 'the unanimous decision was reached ";hat all the negroes are to re main tt.t rot resume work in the pits until thr-y are provided guards sufficient to prevint the capture of the top works while they are in the mines. While there are many startling ru mors afloat of trouble following close on top of the soldiers' departure today local officials as well as union miners aver there will be no trouble. Mayor Corman and Sheriff Downey say that while not anticipating trouble they will be prepared to quell any outbreak that may occur, and declare that the law shall be strictly enforced. Mayor Corman will notify the opera tors that under no circumstances will firing from the mine towers be permit ted in the future, and that they shall be given ample protection.
