without danger to the cars or injury
to the non-union employes operating
them was what the Chicago City Rail
way company was able to accomplish
today with the assistance of the police
department. The cars were run at
three different times, five leaving the
Seventy-seventh street barns at 8:40
a. m„ ten leaving at 10:30 and ten at
2:40. In the first two runs tne round
trip was made in about three hours,
the usual time. During the entire trip
a distance of over eight miles, only
one mlssle was thrown.
While there was no active interfer-
ence with the handling of the cars
such as attended the attempts to run
cars yesterday, the crowds that lined
the streets jeered and hooted the pol-
ice and the non-union men almost
without intermission. But two stones
were hurled at the cars during the
day, one being thrown by a woman,
who made her escape in the crowd
before the police could reach her and
the other being hurled from the nev
postoflico building now being built.
Either stone did no damage worth
mentioning.
The officers of the street car com-
pany were inclined to view the day's
