STRIKE AT STEEL WORKS.
Laborers at South Chicago Have To BE
Charged by the Police.

CHICAGO, May S-About a month ago
the men employed in the South Chicago
works of the Illinois Seeel company quit
work because of a reduction from g. 10 to
Sl.6O per day. Hungarians and Poles were
employed in their places, but they also
have become dissatisfied and concluded
that they were doing too much work for
the money. The result Is that of the 8, {.
600 men employed l, 200 have struck, clos.
ing two furnaces, with the prospect that
the other four will also have to shut down,
the strike promising to spread.
The dissatisfied employees were under
the contract system and had agreements
to work for a year, three weeks of that Pc
riod having now expired. As the men
began quitting they lined up across tho
street from the mill gates and discussed
their claims. They were quiet and no
demonstrations of violence were noticea-
BILE until news of the strike became
known and applicants were seen enter
ing the mill. No violence was then Of
fered, but the talk became more decided,
and some Of the men spoke though
trouble might be expected in the future
The strikers were quiet for awhile, but
when they saw numbers of men applying
for work they began to get angry. and it
was not long before they attacked the
men at work. Police were sent for, and a
detachment soon arrived. The police
charged the mob. but they stood their
ground, and it was only by free use of
clubs and firing their revolvers over the
heads of the mob that it was forced to re-
tire. Four men-two officers, a striker,
ard n machinist-were seriously injured.
Twenty eight men who were said to be
tho leaders were arrested and locked up.
These police officers all received bruises
and contusions more or less severe from

Later he said that while business is in
creasing and there is a more active de-
mand for rails and structural iron the
business is not In condition which he
hopes it will attain. Gray, in answer to
a question, said: with our company
business has been very bad, but is i'm
proving, and 1 am in hopes that we shall
have better year than we had last.
Our company has just erected and has
had in operation for the last six weeks a
plate mill which is turning out a great
many orders. As far as wages are con-
cerned think they will be raised, but
think that any statement that they are
to be raised Immediately is premature"

GettIng Their Eyes Open.

The plutocrats seem to begstting their
eyes open. In the American Banker Of
March 20, we find the following slRni8-
can't paragraph:
"OG particular interest this week was
the arguments made before the United
States supreme court in defense Of the
Constitutionality Of the inCome-tax. Aside
from the purely legal problems which
are involved there were utterAnCes made
by lawyers Of eminencs in favor Of the
tax which were inspired by exaggerated
conceptions Of the growth and power Of
revolutionary sentiment in the country.
Attorney General Olney intimated that
unless the court sustRinS congress in
this case there might come by and by
revolution which would sweep the court
as at present organized out Of existence,
and Mr.. Carter, Of New York, argued to
the effect that the rich men ought TO be
made to pay q much larger share Of their
possessions in the way OF taxes than the
poor, and that q dangerous social upris-
ing might be avoided by enforcing this
principle"
