Street Car Service at Louisville in the Hands of Strikers and Rioters. CASS NOT PERMITTED TO RT7IT Those Running Them Risk Getting Their Heads BrokenDozen Already in the Doctors' HandsPolice Inefficient Because They Sympathize with the Itioters. Louisville. March 12. Violence re sulting In injuries more or less severe to nearly a dozen persons; the feeble and spasmodic operation of less than 100 ears for a few hours under inade quate and lukewarm police protection, and the development of an apparently general pro-union feeling on the part of the general public marked the second day of the strike of tho union employes of the Ixmisvlllo Railway com pany. Few If any of the cars operated were patronized, and a number was stoned. As a general thing, however, the crowds that thronged the streets near the car barns won their point of driving the crews off the cars by merely surging forward and ordering the men away. Street Car Officials Are Complacent. Despite the apparent fnadequacy of the police protection the officials of the street railway company declared they have not asked for additional officers, either policemen or deputy sheriffs, and emphatically denied a report that they intended calling on Sheriff Bell to furnish full protection, which course would necessitate the use of tho mllltin. Mayor Paul C. Barth stated that he had not been asked to 6wear in extra policemen, and that hla course In regard to this matter would be guided solely by developments. Mob Spirit Is Abroad and Busy. The difficulties of the street railway company increased after the first hour the service was attempted. At 1 p. m. attempts to maintain service within the city limits were abandoned, and three hours later the suburban line? were also given up, but the interurban service over into Indiana was not interfered with. In addition to the great inconvenience to people living in tho city about 3.000 suburbanites spent the night in Louisville, owing to the abandonment of service on their lines. Clashes betwene the strikers and their sympathizer and the police and strikebreakers were mimerons during the day, and several people were injured. All who were hurt were victims of mobs. Policemen Are Inefficient. A charge of insubordination against some of the policemen was made by Police Captain Jacobs during, the day. Captain Jacobs, who with a detail of fifty officers Vas stationed at the car barns at Fourth and Avery streets, called Chief Guenther to the scene dur ing the morning with the report that his men could not or would not make arrests of men as directed, and that the captain himself had made most of the arrests effected at that point. Chief Guenther took charge of the situation there and remained in supervision for several hours. STRIKE IN THE SHIPYARDS Union Officials Say It Has Not Started Yet Company's Comment. Cleveland. March 12. While the strike of -shipbuilders at- yards of the American Shipbuilding company is thus far confined mainly to the Cleveland and Lorain, O., plants officials of the International Boilermakers' and Iron Shipbuilders' organization allege that there wyi be accessions to the ranks of the strikers during the present week. They assert that the order for the strike which was issued Staurday night was not received at most of the yards till yesterday, and that it will be followed, by many of the union employes today and later this week. The offlcials of the shipbuilding company have made no changes in their plans. They; believe that the union men In their employ are not only In the minority, but also that a majority of the men, both organized and unorganized, avo satisfied with the recent Increase of wages granted them, and will refuse to strike. President Wallace says further that if the strike should spread so as to tie up the work of the shipyards the company will merely close them down and that there Is no contingency by which the demands of the strikers will be granted. They Buried the Wronjj Boy. Ottumwa, la., March 12. S. G. Masfile, of Hopkins, Mo., has identified his son, who left home last September, in the body which Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ilursey, of LIneville, buried recently as their son.
