Attempted Ren Street Car Strike on West Division
Two hundred strikers and guards flooded Western Avenue car barns early yesterday as police protected running of West Division lines on Van Buren Madison Randolph and Lake streets. After clashes, cars on three lines endured until late afternoon, then a chaotic attack near Robey and Van Buren led to derailments, beatings, and arrests while authorities rushed in patrols. The strikers remain firm, arguing police protection does not repay the company.

Iron Workers Strike in Cleveland March on Employers
About 1,400 striking iron workers, many foreigners, marched from Superior and Water streets to the National Bank building to meet William Chisholm, president of the company. They pressed for wages from three years ago, but Chisholm stood by the July 1 1885 rate, citing business conditions and a policy against paying before regular paydays. The Union Rolling Mills blast furnaces in the Fourteenth ward shut down as the strike spread.

Disastrous Fire at Stoughton Wisconsin Damages Large Tobacco Warehouses
A massive blaze at Stoughton Wisconsin caused widespread destruction including ten of thirteen tobacco warehouses, the St. Paul depot, and about twenty freight cars loaded with wheat and merchandise. Losses estimated between 50,000 and 1,000,000 dollars, with approximately one third of Wisconsin’s tobacco crop destroyed. The fire likely started from an old hay press used as a box factory, may have been lit by Fourth of July fireworks, and one of the city’s largest events in recent memory. Nine trotters and stables suffered losses near Jonesville, while a bicycle road race was planned for July 7 with a prestigious gold badge for the winner.
