Girls Bearing Floral Gifts Vary the Monotony of Dodging Bricks for Crews of Cars
Calhoun's " Hessians" Decorated

Like Circus Parade

Cavalcade
~~~ ' -\u25a0 \u25a0 • i
On two days the trips of the -strike \u25a0
breakers of the Unked Railroads !
through the city streets were made i
hazardous by the throwiirg of stones j
and bricks; on the third day there;
was a change, in one instance, and
.roses were given to Patrick Calhoun's
men. Several girls frcm a flower;
. at 3319 Sacramento street j
rushed from the curb as the two cars i
• assed on the return trip yesterday j
and gave roses and carnations to ,
-gruards and inspectors. It is true;
that the girls were chased— or j
'.shooed — back into the store by union!

sympathizers, but the flowers had
been given and received and were
being, worn. The . monotony of.
dodging bricks had been varied. ;
AH of, yesterday's action was- con
finifd'withln a period of 2 hours and
Z 5 minutes In the afternoon- — front 1:05
to. 8:S0 o'clock, the elapsed time dur
ing which the. strike breakers in cov
ered vans had left the car barns at
Turk :-and Fillmore streets and re
turned thither, after having operated
care 1402 and 139S frpm Oak and Brod
erick streets to Stanyan and. Page, to
Devlsadero, to Sacramento, 'to Lake, to
Sixth avenue, to California and back
orer the same route to Devisadero and
Oak streets and then to the car barns.
The care-were in charge of Inspectors
Garland, McDermott, Byers and J. Cum
mings. .. \u25a0
CLAIMS SHOT AVAS FIRED
A few bricks were thrown — a very
few as compared withthe fusillades of
building materials on . Tuesday and
Wednesday. The inspector on car 1402
says that while inbound a shot was
firfcd at the vehicle in Devisadero street
between Golden. Gate avenue and Mc-
Allister street from' the upper window
of a house on the west side. The bul-
I«t,- if it were a bullet, pierced the ven
tilator of the car. There is a hole in
the glass to show that some missile
pierced it. byt the, nature. of the projec
tile can scarcely be determined by a
hole In a pane of glass. G. McDermott
is the Inspector who' says that a shot
was fired. .No one was hurt.

a-/ transportation •'phenomenon, "to; be
! classed . somewhere .between . the •move
j ments of *an^ unpopular..schiet» ot/police
in a Russian/town, and a circus parade.
Fifteen minutes \u25a0'. after 'lll l 6'c\ock;/the
strjke breakers arrived a,t the. Oakland
Broderick/ barns,' .guarded J | by* :/nine
mounted policemen | .Corporal

distance, but Captain Gleeson, ordered
him away. .. ~ .
\u25a0 Car 1402. 5h0t out of the barn at 1:20
o'clock closely followed by car, 1398.'
The procession' formed. *. First came
Captain Gleason in an. automobile, ac
companied by Sergeant Harry Hook and
I Patrolmen ''Jack" ' Tlllman, Joseph
.Graham, Charles Goff and Patrick But-;
ler. Thornwell ' Mullally.'and" General'
Manager George Chapman wlth'-Super
intendentChrlstlanson":followed;in an
other touring 'car.'. Newspaper men oc
cupied six machines.'
As the car« started out a few; rocks
were thrown from behind a signboard
at Oak and Broderick. streets, but no
one. was. injured. Along the smooth
roadway of Oak street, paralleling the
park panhandle, the cars sped... the
mounted policemen galloping over the.
i asphalt and the" automobiles "bowling
I along with horns blowing. V,
! T. The turn' lnto Stanyan -street 'was ac
complished without incident: and tl\e
run was made back over Page '"street.
At Baker a sack of .asphalt : paving,
blocks had been put on the track and
(the car was delayed. In Page, between
Baker and Broderick; paving stones had
been placed on ' the rails to impede
progress. •„ ,
At Devisadero and Page streets the
largest throng, , of ; the : day was : en
countfered. 1 It did not "deserve/ to .' be
called 'a mob: It ' only \u25a0.hooted, hissed,
jeered, cursed and 'shook iriipoterit flsts
at the men, on "the cars. Hard names
from Billingsgate and other unsavory
places were hurled rashly against the
ears of the strike breakers.
Improvised had. been
thrown up along the Devisadero street
track on .Wednesday, but that game
I was not played; yesterday. Only ' the
throng ; of abusive union sympathizers
•were on the street, and :they had? to
keep, their distance. Many, of «thd*row>
dies were small " boys; others '\ we're
young .men— -hoodlums: who 'do/ not* ap-.'
