Cars Soon Come To Grief

The faot that the wires had been destroyed by the strikers delayed the starting of cars, and the arrival, to mend the broken Wires, of tho construction wagons acted liko a torcli to a magazine and a big orowd at once flocked about the tracks stretching for a inile ilong the avenue, waiting for the cars they knew would soon be sent out. It was not until noon that repairs had been made and ten oars were started at 1:45 p. m , there being little difflculty in dispersing the crowds about the station. The oars were well guarded by troops and poliee. Near Hopkinson avenue the mob had taken possession of tho building material in front of a row of brick buildings uuder construction and hurled it over both tracks between tho short time of the passing of the second car ind before the third had reachedthat point. There wereinany wüiuuu and children in this mob and a scène of turbulence was euacted lasting a long time after the obstacles were removed, the strikers in the meanwhile having succeeded in securing the desertion of four motor men. A secoud blook oc curred near Saratoga avenue and the cars were ordered back to tho stable, all reiithing east New York in a somewhat battered condition, with the exception of one, the latter boing taken back by striker who had a big placard on his breast boaring the lnscription "K. of L." He was choered all along the line. Several strikers pretendí ng to be newspaper men got inside the picket line at the Atlantic avenue stables and wheu their identity was discovered and they were escortod out the mob attacked tlie soidiers, one of the spies iiriug at tho soldiers. His bullet mlssed and several of the ussallants were bayonetted.
