Mob violence again asserted itself in
the southwestern part of the city on
the morning of the 9Th. About 8
O'Clock groups of men, women and
children began to gather at the corner
of Eighteenth Street and Center Ave
nue., and these groups soon aggregated
5000 persons. One of the corners is
the drug store of Samuel Rosenfeld
The men surged toward the building
with threats and violent language.
Clear down the place!" they yelled
"Kill Rosenfeld He's q police spy!"
and other like expressions came from
the throats of all. The fury of the
mob was directed against the druggist
because he had telephone in
the store. and they had an idea that
Resented was giving "tips" to the po-
lice. The thoroughly frightened drug
gist took his family into the upper
police was soon on the scene, and tax
ing Resented and his family in the
wagon, conveyed them to the station,
leaving g. guard in the vicinity. Then
an attack was made on Rosenfeld's
drug store. The bowling mob, the
male portion yelling, the females
screaming and boys whistling, rushed
into the place. In less time than it
takes to tell it the drug
store was completely Quilted.
The rioters took care to drink
all the liquor in it. The next point of
attack was Weiskopf's saloon. 1t is
under the hall where the Anarchists
have been holding their meetings.
Barrels of liquor were rolled out, the
heads broken in, and the rioters rev.
eled in the liquid. Bottles of whisky,
wine and beer were consumed, and
then the work of demo fishing the fix
lures was proceeded with. Nota table
or chair was left unbroken, the ice
chest and counter being split up into
kindling-wood. Lieut.. Sheppard, with
q large force of men, was quickly sum-
moned, and the mob ran like fright
ened ours before them, skulking away
into houses and alleys.
| Armed with clups, q mob of Polish
strikers at Milwaukee marched through
the KinDickinnic Valley on the morn
| ing of the 4th, compelled all the work
men whom they encountered to cease
work and brought up at the North
Chicago Rolling Mill Companys works
| in Bay View. After several conferences
they prevailed upon the common la
| borers to strike causing the works to
shut down and throwing LOO men
out of work. 1t being feared that the
company 8 property would be damaged
by the mob, the militia was called
out. A collision resulted, but
though several volleys were fired,
there were no fatalities. Sew
not seriously, by missiles thrown by
the crowd. Mobs appeared at the
Brand Stove Works, where they in
duced the men to quit, and the works
were temporarily closed to avoid
trouble. Later they went to the Best
Brewing Company's plant on the West
Side but accomplished nothing of con-
sequence. All day large crowds sur
rounded the Allis works. among them
many of the strikers who attempted
to storm the place on Monday. Two
militia companies were stationed
there, and no demonstration was
made. The labor disturbances have
caused Gov. Rusk to summon the
First Regiment OF the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guards to the city. The com-
panies have arrived and are stationed
at different manufacturing establish
ments. It is estimated that the mob
| of Polish strikers who marched
through the streets forced 4,50O work
ingmen to quit work against their will.
During the afternoon three of the ring
leaders in the attack OH the rolling
mills were arrested by the militia. It
was reported that the prisoners had
been brought to the city by lake on a
tug, and placed in the jail. This was
not the case, however, as a raid was
feared on the jail. The men had been
placed in warehouse under a strong
guard. The captured rioters broke
down completely as they were hand
cuffed together, and one of them cried
like a child. Great excitement was
caused about midnight by a fire alarm
