Car LlneB With Non UnlonUts Men
I on Second Car Out Assaulted Mo-
torman Is Knocked Senseless
Albany N Y May 15 Two at
tempts to run street cars yesterday
brought bloodshed and riot on such a
ecalo that tho local police aided by
ecores of deputies and Plnkcrton men
were unable to quell tho disturbance
and tho Twenty third regiment of
Brooklyn has been ordered out They
are expected hero at noon
Ono man lies in a hospital seriously
wounded ono of tho two cars tho com
pany attempted to run Is in tho gutter
of a 6trcet not two blocks from tho car
house wrecked and the trolley wires
aro cut In several places prnctlcally
crippling tho road Near the car
houses are thousands of men and
women and children wrought up to a
pitch of frenzy that bodes 111 if tho
floors of tho car house open to let
out another car Insido the car
house afraid even to look out of the
grated windows aro about 75 non
union men whom the company expects
to use in running the cars In the
morning there were about 150 of them
but by nightfall G5 had deserted and
joined tho rankB of the strikers
Tho men claim that they were
brought hero under a misapprehension
and that they supposed they were go
ing to Philadelphia The police prac
tically admitted that they were power
less to copo with the large crowds ou
the streets if cars were run and Gen
eral Manager McNamara immediately
called upon General Oliver In com
mand of the Third brigade for protec
tion He said We intend to run
our cars if it takeB the entire National
guard of New York state to protect
us
General Oliver issued orders assem
bling at their armory the Tenth battal
ion of Albany
The riot was full of exciting feat
ures The first car out succeeded in
escaping but the mob surged towards
the second despite the efforts of the
police Tho crew consisted of four
men As the car swung around the
curve there was a rush for It but the
crowd was driven back Tho com
mittee from the strikers was allowed
to approach the men
Do you want to come with us
boys YjOU wont regret It There
was no response from any of the men
The motorman with his smllo gone
waved them aside and the car was off
again
All restraint In the great crowd
broke Through the middle of the
street men ran with women and child
ren mingling with the officers of the
law whose clubs were swinging and
arms moving In vain almost to keep
people from danger Men stopped to
pick up stones and were overturned
to be pushed and kicked by the others
Before the car had started two po
licemen boarded It They simply
made two extra targets for tho stones
and bricks The car had not gone 50
feet before ones helmet was crushed
and the other policeman was in danger
of having more than his helmet
damaged
There was a perfect fusillade of
Btones They came from all direc
tions and crashed through windows
front rear and sides of the car
The men aboard dodged and jumped
from side to side to escape the missiles
and were successful with the excep
tion of the motorman A great
jagged edged rock struck him full in
the forehead and he dropped into a
pool of his own blood that covered
the entire platform The assistant
as soon as tho man dropped grasped
the brakeB and controlling handle and
faced the mob A few feet more and
the car was upon an Insurmountable
barricade With a sudden Jerk It
came to a stop and all on aboard It
were thrown forward one of tho con
ductors falling among a pile of broken
glass to receive some ugly flesh
wounds The conductors and one
motorman Joined the strikers and tho
wounded man went to the hospital
He Bald bis name was Marshall and
that he lived at Green Point L I
Five arrests were made and thus
ended the first days attempt to run
cars
