RIOTING WAS CONTINUED
Sharp Fighting Between Strikers
and Police in Cleveland.
IN A SHOWER OF STONES
Non-Union Men Were Roughly Handled.
Saved From Lynching by a Priest.
The Company Retfus to
Arbitrate.
Cleveland, 0., July 23.-The rioting
which continued throughout last night
was renewed to-day and there were
several serious outbreaks of violence,
but no clashes between the mobs and
the troops. Cars were started, running
as usual this morning on all but one or
two lines. The mobs were astir early.
Soon after 10 o'clock a thousand per.
sons or more gathered on Burton street
on the south side and proceeded to ob
struct the track. When a car came
along with two policemen on board it
was attacked with a shower of stones.
In spite of the policemen the non
union motorman and conductor were
roughly handled. One of them, named
McDermott, had two ribs broken, and
the other was badly bruised. One of
the policemen fired at the mob, the
bullet striking a man named Weinnick.
The mob assaulted the officers, both
of whom were struck repeatedly with
stones, and but for the intervention of
a priest of the Catholic church the off
cers might have been lynched. By this
time the cars had been mixed up in the
melee, and a patrol wagon of police ar
riving. the rioters dispersed and the
cars were taken hack to the barns.
There were serious disturbances on
the Broadway line at the corner of Pe
trie street, where a mob of 3.000 assem
bled in the forenoon and obstructed the
tracks. Finally a car came along front
the Wilson avenue barns having on
board Sergeant Burrows and a private
of the militia and Detective Kelsoe.
The officer ordered the mob to dis
perse when the motorman attempted to
remove the obstruction fromn the track,
but the rioters showed tight. Then
Sergeant Burrows and the one soldier
with fixed bayonet charged the mob
and attempted to clear the way. There
was a sharp fight for a few minutes,
during which a perfect shower of
stones fell about the detective and the
soldier, smashing the car windows.
No one was seriously hurt, and after
arresting two of the rioters and placing
them on the rear end. the car returned
to the barns. Tha police afterward
charged the mob, mhaking several ar
rests. The militia on guard at the
Hollenden avenue barns on the south
side were annoyed during the greater
part of the day by a jeering mob, and
11 arrests were made there with the
assistance of the police.
In the afternoon a mob of 1,000 con
ceived the idea of blocking the track
on Orange street by placing a big boul
der in the middle of the street and
building a fire around it. The plan
worked successfully and cars were de
layed for nearly an hour, when the po
lice drove the mob away and put out
the fire. Three men were sent to the
.hospital with wounds made by police
men's clubs at the end of this riot.
As a result of the shooting of the dri
ver of a grocery wagon in South Brook
lyn yesterday afternoon by a non-union
conductor, the mayor of that village
to-day issued an order to the marshal
to arrest all non-union conductors who
carried concealed weapons. Every car
was stopped and each conductor found
with a revolver was arrested. All were
subsequently bailed out by the com
pany.
A small riot was started at the cor
ner of Pearl and Franklin avenue when
a young woman struck a man who
asked her ust to board a non-union
car. A crowd of union sympathizers
stoned cars, and a squad of police tin
ally cleared the street. The company
to-day sent a note to the state board
of arbitration declining to arbitrate the
differences, in which it says:
"This conmpany, fully app.reclating
your desire to bring about a rieadjust
metnt with its former employes, begs to
say that the mien who went out on
Monday last are not inl the employ of
the company and there Is nothing t
negotiate about or arbitrate."
A Euclid avenue car. loaded with
passengers, was wrecked by an explo
sion of nitro-glycerine or gun-cotton
shortly before 11 o'clock to-night. Four
persons were badly hurt, the names of
the injured Ieing Albert E. Fassett, F.
E. Smith, Miss Harris, Mrs. E. C. Mar
tin,
The explosion tore out the front end
of the car, smashed all the windows
and destroyed the brake. After consid
erable difficulty the car was stopped
and a call for ambulances was sent
out. The motorman, William Drag
gers, who came from Cincinnati. was
dazed by the shock, but the conductor,
Frank Schroeder. of St. Louls, escaped
injury.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it shook all the houses in
the neighborhood and was heard for
a distance of two or three miles. There
is no clue to the identity of the person
swho placed the explosive on the track.
Persons living in the neighborhood say
they saw a man in a buggy atop at tile
corner of Kensington street. where the
explosioln occurred, and get out by the
railway track. He remained there for
a short time and then drove rapidly
away2..
Within a few minutes after the ex
plosion a closwd of a thousand peorple
assembled. and the injured, who were
suffering fr, m shock, were cared for
until the ambulance arrived. None of
them were dangerously injured, their
hurts being contined to bruises about
the feet and legs. M rs. iMartin fa:ntd
bef ire she was taken from the car.
All were taken to their homes in am
bulances. The motorman on the car
managed to get out of the vestibule of
the car and then fell to the street. but
he quickly recovered and helped to ex
tricate the passengers from the wreck.
Passengers who were on the car say
the explosion eeemed to lift the whole
front end of the car, and it ripped up
the floor for more than the distance
from the front end. The car was, in
fact. a ,complete wreck, but, strange to
say. it did not leave the rails, and wa,
tak,-n to the barns by the next outward
bound motor. The police were quickly
sunilmolned to the scene of the explosiln
and a force of the men were detalh d to
investigate, with a lvew of running
down the ih'rsotu \ hio placed the -x
plosive on the track. A boy living
near the corner saw a mysterious man
in the buggy. He said he noticed the
buggy drive up there and stop and
saw the man get out. He fumbled
about the rails for a minute or two and
then jumped into the buggy and drove
away at a gallop.
There seems to be no doubt now that
Mayor Farley w\ill call the three or
four available military companies in
the city, in addition to those now under
arms. The call will include the bat
tery of artillery, and the governor may
he requested to send other troops to
the city.
In the vicinity of the Holden avenue
barns to-night there was continuous
rioting for three or four hours. Every
car that passed was attacked with
stones and several pistol shots were
fired at them. There was a lively fusl
lade at one time the non-union crews
returning the fire. The only person
hurt was a woman, who was shot in
the finger, as she stood in her doorway.
The police made 25 arrests in that
neighborhood.
Rioting cantinued all ah ng Broad
way to-night and it lok three squaiis
of police as many hours to escort thre.
cars a distance of four miles to the
barns. Fifteen or twenty of the rioters
were taken into custody.
Later reports front those injured show
that they were hurt much worse than
was at first supposed. It is now stated
that Mrs. Harris suffered a fracture iof
the skull and may die. while A. F.
Smith had both legs broken. Three or
four persons in addition to those whose
names are given above were hurt, but
none serclwasly.
PRACTICALLY OVER.
All of the Cars Are Running-Parson.
takes Th reats.
New York, July 23.-The trolley car
strike In Manhattan and Brooklyn;
seems to be practically at an end. Glen
eral Master W\V,ikman Parsons iays it
Is net. and to-day at a met'ting of th_
Central Federated union. he launch.od
at scheme for a new political party. and
at the same tiale ulged upon the dele
gates of the vat lious trades tanions in
Greater New York *the exlediency tt
contributing to a fund to aid ltle strik
ets. and the delegates promiat d their
financial support. This is probably
what cause.: general Master W~'ollknan
Parsons and Li, tliet Maste'r Workmoan
Pines to plromise important develop
ments In the stllke eituation this week.
It Is a fact. t n\\ever, that both yester
lay and to-day tars w\ere being run un
ler almost ncrtl al headway €g all the
lines except il,:' Nasalu, throughu'.
Brooklyn. even tI the various blanches
and cartyllyng large numbers of pas
sengers.
In New York. except for the pres'enee
itf aeveral hundred policemen on See
and avenue and guards about the vari
ous power htousts, a strike would be
out of considi.ration. There has be-n
no delay in the trolley car service in
Manhattan to-day on any line, with the
excep*inn of 'he Second avenue line,.
and that is affected but very little. It
is stated by the police officals that to
morrow or Tuesday, at the farthest,
most of the pollee who have guarding
the property of the railroad companies
will be withdrawn.
To t'he east:de resorts traffme was
motre general than it was last Sunday,
but the public did not take advantage
of the improving service, owting to the
fear of lIossible dieturbances. which
hove so far marked the aftermath of
the strike.
The strike leaders admitted that the
Brooklyn Itapid Transit company ran
more cars to seaside resorts to-day
than on the dlay the strike was de
rleared. President Rossiter was jubi
lant on Saturday before leaving for
Cold Springs. and reiterated .the state
mnent that the strike was practically
over. He said:
"The strikers have prided themselves
in the fact that they have been able to
tie up traffic ,to Coney Island, but they
cannot boast of that now, for to-mor
'ow we will te able to carry all the
passengers who lwant to go to the Island
tr other restorts near the sea. I am sor
ry for the men who were led astray by
professional agitators. I am still willing
to take back the men who left their po
sitions on the Brooklyn Heights line.
iut I am determined that none of the
Nassau line men will be reinstated as
notormen or conduhctors."
In strike headquarters the men of the
Nassau line assembled to-day. Master
W,:rkman Farsons did not appear. Dis
trict Master \Workkman Pines was busy
trying to encltourage the strikers. He
told them that even if the strike wou;d
be unsuccessful, they would st:ill have
the satisfuaction f, knowing that they
had rebelb d against the evil system of
hours and \wages Iltroduced and main
tained by Roitlter. Mr. Pines added
that if a certain section of ,the press
and corporations fancied that the strike
would be over in a lay or two, they
would sooin discover that they were
'adly m'staken. He s.sid that by Tues
lay or Wednesday all of the lines of
the Brooklyn Italid Transit company
would be tied up as tight as a drum.
