"Debsomania' says the men comprising

the fact that the decision to order a gen.
eral strike was postponed may be ac-
cepted as proof that there is no serious in
tention of striking. The riots in Chicago

The first conflict between the strikers
and police at West Oakland occurred
about . o'clock this evening, and the
strikers were worsted. Master Workman
Mckenzie started TO clear the track, when
but a force of deputy sheriffs kept them
away. About one hundred OF them rushed
20 their comrades, where they encountered
Captain Wilson and twenty police. There
was some fierce fighting, i'm which several
strikers were knocked right and left by
the clubs in the hands OF officers. The
mob then dispersed, but trouble is feared
later. Charles Hall. one of the most prom

to-night during the fight with the police.
He was charged with melting riot and
was refused bail. The mob lost heart
after this, and the work OF clearing the
