The Strike May Spread,
LABOR MEN IN A RIOT.
Battle at Chicago in Which the Police
Take "A Hand.

CHICAGO, Aug "a riot was quelled
cago Monday afternoon, and two bodies
of workmen each bent upon annihilating
the other, laid down their arms to the po-
lice of the Woodlawn district The offi-
GERS had been summoned to the scene by
James Arnold, contractor, who feared
the belligerents might vent their displeas'
ure upon the new buildings in course OF
construction on the grounds. Contractor
Arnold has been experimenting the erec-
ton of four structures which are TO form
an addition to the university, and has en-
ployed about 100 men. Some OF the work
men belonged to the labor unions, but IL
is claimcd that non-union labors have
been recently engaged. At noon Monday
the laborers on Biological hall laid down
their tools, claiming they had been prom
ised 81 30 instead of s. per day, which was
offered them by the contractors This ac-
ton seemed To in6ame the other men who
were at work and soon number OF brlck-
layers called upon Contractor Arnold and
demanded that all non-union laborers
should be discharged This was refused,
but the contractor promptly laid on
number Of men.
The discharged men remained about the
building until 3 o'clock, when an attack
was made upon Italians who had been en-
gagged to fill their places, and a fierce light
was the result. Contractor Arnold ran To
Cobb hall. where he telephoned To the
HYDE Park Police station for assistance.
The message was transmitted to Wood
lawn, and the patrol wagon from that
station was hurried to the scene OF the ex-
citement.
When attacked the Italian laborers
made n determined resistance and repelled
their assailants with bricks, tools and
picces of timber. The fight ragged briskly
for twenty minutes and several of the be-
sieged men received severe cuts and
bruises their ranks being outnumbercd
by the attacking party. The disturbance
was at it's height when the wagon load of
police officers appeared, but its coming
was a signal for the belligerents to dis
perse, the laborers who had made the at
tack seeking safety in flight.
The fugitives were pursued by Officers
| Breen. Cullin and Duffy, who chased the
strikers through Washington park In a
| vain attempt to capture chem. Under po'
lice protection the Italians resumed work
| In speaking of the trouble, Contractor
| Arnold said; II pay my laborers more
| than any builder in the city. The mel
| who raised the disturbance have been paid
| IL cents to 35 cents an hour, and yet
| they were not satisfied / can get
any number Of men who vii

to hire such labor, but have Away shiret

so. II the men are not satisfied let then

could effect settlement
The men who are out, however, den!

ty-fve miles already laid.

dred years and the cables will be practically inn
pershable You imagine the perfect service
telephone subscribers will receive.
D. The Detroit Telephone Company has enthusiastic
public and popular support. Think of metallic
circuit telephone in your house for % dollars year
or in your office for 40 dollars year, No wonder
the telephone subscribers increasing at the rate
of nearly 100 week Do you know any reason
why there will not be 1000 Detroit Telephone sub
scribers within three years?

ways been huge paying investment The time
to buy is when the company is started

CLEVELAND o., Aug. 5.-Shooting by

morning two men stopped in front OF
Mrs. Lind's boarding house, few squares
from the Brown Hosting works, where a
man named Gettner, who Is employed at

for the "scab" TO come out and then they
began throwing stones at the house.
Presently one of the men fired at the door,
the bullet passing through the panel and
entering the house The noise attracted
the attention Of the militia, and a detach-
ment of Company | Were ordered to the
scene on the double quick. AS the sol
diers turned "a neighboring corner the two

The pro- sct for penny-in-the. slot
drinking fountains has been abandon
ed in the city of Pittsburg. The OBJ
jections to the proposed plan would
seem to be sound in that the charge
would be prohibitlve to classes who
would be most benefited by free foun-
tains. On the other hand, the ladies OF
the w. G. I. U. are right in seeking
revenue sufficient to pay for the care OF
the fountains. In this dilemma, there is
need for the exercise OF ingenuity in
order that several desirable objDo.s
may be attained, namely, the estab-
lishment OF convenient drinking foun-
tains, the full benefit of free water TO
those who cannot afford to pay for 1t,
and finally enough revenue to maintain
fountains and the water supply. The
Dispatch, Of that city, offers the sug-
gestion that instead of the penny-in-
the-slot arrangement, attached to the
water supply, there should be simply,
a slot, with a suitably inscribed tablet
inviting voluntary contributions of
pennies, nickels, or dimes for the pur.
pose of maintenance. 1t believes the
public would contribute enough to
show its appreciation of the fountains
to maintain them, those in good cir
cumstances paying for their own drink
and that Of some newsy, whose slender
purse would not admit of the luxury.
This plan Is offered merely as a sug-
gestion. Someone else may suggest a
much better way out of the difficulty,
and 1t may be hoped they will in the
interest of the good object to be served.

The United States wants protective
tariff and free coinage, says the Silver
City Enterprise. To acquire these two
great needs of the American people, we
must look to the republican party. 1t
is true that the republican party has
made a mistake 10 declaring for free
coinage by international agreement.
But a year, at most, Of protective tariff,
without free coinage, will demonstrate
the fact that the tariff alone will not
be an efficient remedy for the prevail
ing business depression throughout the
country. Then we will see the repub.
lican party take the silver issue in hand
and give the country free coinage. On
the other hand, the democratic party
proposes to perpetuate the free-trade
doctrine which, in three years of peace,
has burdened the nation with hundreds
OF millions OF a national debt and en-
abled England to reduce her debt in
proportion, and this at the expense
and distress of our idle artisans and
laborers. Free trade and free coinage
will not put the country in a more
prosperous condition than protective
tariff and mono.metallism Rnt the
republican party promises to use every
endeavor to bring about the free coin
age Of silver by international agree
ment, hence the odds are vastly in
favor Of the republican party as the
best political medium by which a re-
turn Of prosperity can be secured.
