Precautionary Measures by the Police Are Apparently Much More Complete Than During Teamsters' Strike of Some Months Ago. Chicago, Nov. 13.-Worse rioting to day than before was tho expectation with which both sides in the big street railway strike started: this morning. The lines of union piekots wore thrown out at various points, especially in Wentworth avenue, while the non union employes woro assembling at the barns of tho Chicago City railway. At the safe time a hoodlum element whose work is disavowed by the strik ors began to gather along the more prominent crossings. The activity of the - strikere and their sympathizers was due to news that the tail-way company would make a desperate attempt to start cars with heavily increasod police protection. Strong Police Guard. Several hundred police and a dozen patrol wagons wore massed at the southern torminus of the cable line at Seventy-ninth street and Cottage Grove avenue, early in the morning, and at 8 o'clock the wagons started toward the busine.s distriet, leaving squads of police at intervals along the line, where throuble was anticipated. Pickets posted by the strikers were also on hand in numbers at the va rious barns and sullenly %atohed the preparations being made to guard the cars. Patrol wagons filled with po lice made ready to proceed besides the cars. Mall Care Not Molested. While crowds were on tiptoe of ex pectation along the Wentworth avenue electric line two mail cars were start ed, on one of the principal through ca ble routes. Cottage Grove avenue, which is a direct parallel of Wentworth avenue out to the east. The mail cars took the entire trip from the outskirts of the city to the busine s center without the slightest interfer ence. Considerabl, intereat attached to tile movement of the mail cars for the rea son that any application to a federal tribunal would most probably be to prevent tile mail service being inter rupted by acts of violence. The state courts, on the other hand, would be appealed to if leaving out any question of the mails an injunction should be solely to prevent interference with nonunion traction employes endeavor Ing to re-establish passenger service. Two cars oil Wentworth avenue left the Soventy-ninth street barns in charge of Police Captain George W. Shippy. Fitteen policomen wore on the car. Captain Shippy's plan was said' to be to carry on the cars any personu arrested for cornmitting vio lent acts, thus making the alleged dis turbors equally wvith the police as the target for bricks andl stones meant fer the non-union train crewvs. Jeers and Cat Calis. Precautionary measures by the po0 lice wore apparently much more comi plote'than during the teamsters' strike some months age, whlen the city's traf fic was more thanm once brought almost to a standetill. Quite early the cars under command of Captain S3hippy had passed Forty third street. running slowly betbwoon dense lines of strikers and their sym pathizers, who tried to keep pace with the car and the escort of patrol wag ons. No stones were thrown, but there were jeers and eat calls for the po licemen and trainmen. There were cries of "Carter Harrison will never dare face the South Side again." The presence of police on the car.? evidently with the approval of Mayor Harrison, app~earedi greatly to excite the anger- of the crowds. Ton cars in all start(d on the trip toward tihe center of the city within a half hour, all on the Wentworth av enue electric line. Nonunion creows manned the cars, and each car after the first was in charge of a lieuten ant or sergenat and 12 policemen. L~et of Great Art Colliection.
