New Orleans, Oct. 7. Violence start'
ed with the first attempt of the New
Orleans Railways company to carry
out the orders of the mayor and run
its cars today. Just before 7 o'clock
the company started out three cars
from the barn on Canal s:reet. On each
car, manned by a non-union motorman,
there was a large force of policemen.
Large crowds of strikers and sympa
thizers were on the streets. When the
cars reached Miro street the tracks
were blockaded, and when they came to
a stop a large mob attacked them.
Wires and ropes were cut and the cars
were boarded. A pistol shot was fired
and the non-union motormen attacked.
One of them was badlje cut. The police
seemed unable to cope with the situation-
,
When the rioting spent itself three
cars were left standing on the track,
guarded by policemen. All the win
dows in them were smashed and they
were otherwise damaged. F. H.
Sehwenick of Chicago, a conductor, was
the man who was most badly beaten.
The mob of strikers captured Sehwenick;
and his motorman ,and both consented
to join the union. ' Some of the police
men were hurt by flying stones. The
indications are that the company has
imported a number of men from other
cities.
As soon as news of the rioting reach
ed the city hall the mayor issued a call
for a meeting of the police board'. It is
understood the object, is. to swear ia
emergency policemen 'ami to make It
plaiir to the regular force that the board
expects every man to do bis full duty.
High officers of the militia are in the
city and preparing themselves in the
event of a call for troops. Governor
Heard will only order out the militia
when he is notified by Mayor Capde
ville that the situation has gotten be
yond the control of the municipal au
thorities.
