SIX KILLED AND A DOZEN INJURED Four Italian Murderers RiddIed With BuI. lets by Colorado Miners In Revenge Fol the Murder of Popular Deputy sherifE RIotIng In a Polish Church. NEW ORLEANS, March 1S.-A thick fog was the veil behind which desperate white levee lahorers gathered and which they pierced with winchester rifle balls aimed at the colored nonunion men at work on the ships. The attack was made at points several miles apart just before tho arrival of the police, and as result there arc hali dozen corpses and a dozen or so wounded men.
 The police saw tho attack. but no ar rests followed, they claiming they were too few to cope with tho unexpected out break. The day before the mayor said all was quiet, and the governor saw no grounds for interference, but today the business men arc denouneing both. The militia is in readiness to move An ap. peal to the federal government has virtu- ally been made. and even the foreign con- suls have decided to join in the movement for peace at any price.
 The causes which led to the troubles have been of long standing and grew out of the attempt of ship agents and others interested to reduce rates. The white screwmen claim that the colored men who were given a share of the work under an agreement made secret cuts and violated tho agreement in order to obtain moro work and gradually crowded the white men of. The white associations then sey- cred all tics with the blacks and refused to work with them or for the men who employed them. The white longshoremen joined the screwmen in this.
 Since then the steamship lines have been gradually going over to the negroes. Lately the white screwmen quit work on the lines still loyal to them, and stated that they would not work until the whole affair was strengthened out. Several moro lines then took on negro laborerS from necessity.
 The whites finally determined to retail fate on the stevedores by offering to re- duce rates and deal with the ships direct Ships in haste accepted the offer, but tho agents stood by the stevedores. The latter offered to pay more than tho screwmen asked. but the screwmen refused to deal with them.
 The agents offered to pay the screwmen their wages and place the steyedores over them as superintendents, but the screw AAASA o&<AA1A NNNALiiIA- AIGll 1Ht SISN began importing colored screwmen from Galveston. and the whites growing dcs- perate. broke loose in riot.
