wise found closed. At the Art Glass COM
pany's works the pots were in the fur
naces, and red glow told that work was
in progress. Eight hoursp yelled the
mob. A rear door was opened, in marched
two dozen or so of the crowd and. in
less than five minutes returned with the
twenty employees of the works The only
man who remained at his post was the
foreman. ION to the mills" shouted
score of voices and the mob, which was
gradually increasing in numbers, pro-
ceeded to Bay Vicw. In front of the
North Chicago Rolling Mill company's
office halt was called and committee
was sent to
CONFER WITH THE OFFICIALS.
1t was explained that the millmen were
mostly paid by piece work, but this in no
way satisfied the mob who could only
argue:
''Ten hours pay for eight hours work.
A number of Socialists were on hand
freely circulating among the rioters and
urging them on to violence, and break was
about to be made for the Enclosure of the
mills when three infantry companies ap-
peared upon the scene, causing the mob to
take second thought. The soldiers were
hooted and Missed, but further than this no
molestation was offered until the last COM
pany, the Kosciusko guards, were passing
into the mill Enclosure, when a shower of
rocks and sticks were hurled by the rioters.
The company wheeled and fired one volley,
nearly every gun being purposely aimed
high, which had the effect of scattering the
crowd. Injury to property has been pre-
vented by the militia, six companies being
stationed there tonight. Early this morn
ing appeals to Gov. Rusk. who arrived
last night, were made by Mayor Wallber
and Sheriff Paschen for military protec-
ton. Orders were Immediately issued to
the companies OF the First regiment and
one company of the Second to report here
at the earliest moment Several came by
special and others by regular trains, and
tonight over
1000 ARMED MEN
of the state militia are on duty here. Two
companies are stationed at the Milwaukee
81 st. PauPs West Milwaukee shops, three
at E. P. Allis & Co. s works and the re-
maindey, aside from those in Bayview, are
held in reserve at the armory. While it
is not expected that it will be necessary to
bring the militia into action, the striking
foreigners had become so emboldened by
their operations of the past few days that
it was readily seen that the only way to
quiet them was to bring them face to face
with loaded muskets, which appears to
be having the desired effect. The riotous
Poles have avowed vengeance upon the
KosciuskO guards, which is composed Of
men of their own nationality, for firing
upon them. as they believe, at Bay View
to-day. This evening they held a meet
ing, and it was rumored that they had Or
ganized to raid the militiamen at the roll
ing mill, but late reports from there refer
to no movement such as that rumored. In
this city quiet is being restored, and should
tomorrow pass without fresh outbreak it
is believed that all disturbance will have
passed. John Odoi, a ringleader of the
Bayview mob, has been placed under az
rest. He is Pole, and one of the most in
cendiary agitators in the city. Early in the
day he mounted pile of Stag just outside
the main entrance of the building. and
called upon the mob to attack and burn the
buildings. Heis a common laborer, not q
Knight of Labor, and does not belong to
any labor organization.
