dragged from their cars and beaten.
The chief of police is firm in the de
claration that no rioting be tolerated.
Efforts are being made to run the
cars on several lines. A large crowd
gathered at the Lakevlew barns and
the police were forced to drive the
crowd back with clubs. Many were
slightly injured. The crowd threw
stones but finally dispersed.
The street-car lines were recently

reduced to three cents. Immediately

as soon as tho earnings would war-

calling the strike.
