CH|CAGO'S BIG STRIKE
Looks Like 1t Might Be the Most
Important Labor Move
of the Year.
NAY INVOLVE $4,000 WoRKMEN

And Stop All Building Operations in the
Western hetropolis-Union Managers
Shutting Down Work Wherever Nom
Union Brick Is Being Used-EmpIoyers
Appear Indiferent-StrIke at Cleveland
Appears to Give Way to n Boycott
Chicago, July 29.-Organized labor in
support of the brickmakers' strike
cleared for action during yesterday.
The tug of war between the brick
manufacturer of Cook county and the
brickmakers with their allies is now
on in earnest. Representatives of the
striking workers invaded the various
parts of the city and canvassed the sit
uation. Committees from district coun-
ell, No. 1, of the Brickmakers' alliance,
armed with instructions Endorsed by
the Building Trades council, pene-
trated half-completed buildings, SJruc-
lures in course of erection, buildings
in the first stages of construction or
nearly finished - it mattered not if
ron-union-made brick was being used
in the work-and ordered all working
men who were members of unions
affiiliating with the Building Trades
council TO stop work.
Will Make $4,000 Men Idle.
The prospect is that before the COM
bors $4,000 artisans, members of I'M
ions, representing every branch of the
building trades, will have been pre-
cipitated into an indefinite period OF
iGleneSS. The manufacturers evince no
alarm at the situation. Although they
were not prepared for the slump Of
business which has been thrust upon
them through the closing down of all
the union yards in the county, they
profess, one and all, to be not the
least uneasy as to the final outcome.
They declare they have adhered to the
letter of their individual agreements
with the Brickmakers' alliance and
have nothing to regret. The report
that bricklayers and master masons
had decided to strike in sympathy with
the yardsmen did not appear to dis
turb the manufacturers. While the
strikers are enthusiastic in the situa-
ton the employers themselves main
tain front of stolid indifference.
Prime Mover in tn Strike Talks
Business Agent Charles Hank, of the
Brickmakers' alliance, the prime NOV
er of the strike, said: To-day our
men are out canvassing the situation
and chutting down work wherever il is
being done with brick produced at any
of the non-union yards. AS soon as the
last of the union-made bricks on hand
in the south side yards when the strike
was called is exhausted there will not
be any that bear the union stamp,
hence no work can go forward. Many
big jobs have already been stopped on
this account and more are in order"

BOYCOTT REPLACES THE STRIKE.
People Not Allowed tn Ride on Street Cars
at Cleveland.


Cleveland, July 29.-According to
General Axline the withdrawal of the
troops will begin next Monday unless
the conditions change very materially
from their present status. The acts of
violence are becoming much less fire.
quent," said General Axline yesterday,
and the situation is quite encourag-
ing. Unless the unexpected should turn
up the troops Will be gradually with
drawn next week. We do not expect
any more serious trouble, but of course
We cannot tell what may happen" Bat
terry B and Troop A, of the First Ohio
cavalry, were yesterday relieved from
further strike duty.
The boycott movement is spreading
rapidly. 1t is not only being put in
force against retail merchants, but
wholesalers also. In some sections of
the city persons who are known to ride
on the Big Consolidated cars cannot
purchase articles of food from butch
ers and grocers.
Mayor Farley is well pleased with
the situation but he has not relaxed
his vigilance one whit and will not I'M
til the last vestige of disorder is wiped
away. The mayor and Adjutant Gen
eral AXline are at present involved in
a controversy over what the troops
shall do and what they shall not do.
The adjutant general is of the opinion
that the duty of the National Guard is
merely to put down riOting and not to
do police duty. Whatever the duty of
the National Guard may be, Mayor Far
ley holds that the troops are here I'M
der his authority and that they will
remain here until he feels that they can
be dispensed with. The responsibility
of preserving the order of the city rests
upon the shoulders of the mayor he
says and he proposes to see that his
plans are not interfered with by any
one. he declares that he is to be the
judge as to when troops are not wanted.
Rumors to the effect that the city
council will endeavor to reconsider the
resolution of Thursday night reached
the ears of the mayor yesterday and he
did not like them. After quiet has
been absolutely restored the mayor
would not object to any kind of an in
vestigation upon the part of the coun-
ell, but he deems that the members are
treading on extremely dangerous ground
when they undertake to reopen the
discussion.
The mayor takes but little interest in
the talk of boycotting merchants. He
believes that just as soon as quiet is
restored and the fever is gone all such
talk will cease. A boycott. he feels, is
against natural laws; that man will
not pay cents for an article that can
be purchased for 5, and a man will not
walk mile TO make a purchase when
he can get what he wants at a quarter
of a mile.

The front truck was demolished and

ing with Many Bruises.
Atlanta, Ga, July "a special to
The Journal from Jackson, Ga, says
the three Mormon elders who were TAX
en- away from the home of William
Cunnard at Newton Factory, in Jasper
county. Wednesday night escaped from
the mob while crossing a creek in that
county and are now safe near Jackson.
They are suffering from many bruises
and injuries sustained in a fight with
their captors. They swan down the
creek, holly pursued by the mob, final
ly escaping and making their way
through the country to the home OF
friends. From there they sent for
some clothes.
They tell a thrilling story of their
experience and are very bitter against
the people of Jasper county for perse
cutting them. 1t is not thought here
that the mob intended to lynch the
MOrmons, but were only escortingthem
out of the country. Mrs. Cunnard. a
portion of whose jaw was shot away in
the fight between the mob and her hus-
band, is badly wounded.

TWENTY PERSONS HURT.
Miracle Is That They Escaped Death in a
Hallway Smashup.

Pittsburg. July 29.-Twenty people
were injured last night in a wreck on
the West Penn railroad at Heirs Sta
ton. few miles above Allegheny City.
None of the injured is likely to die,
but several are quite badly hurt. They
are all residents of suburban points
between Allegheny and Apollo. The
accident happened at one of the round
house switches at Iferrs Station. AS
the Apollo accommodation came into
the yard a switch split, throwing the
passenger train with terrific force
against two side-tracked engines.
The smoker and middle coach of the
accommodation. which were crowded to
the limit, were literally smashed to
splinters. How the passengers escaped
death is a miracle.
