The resolutions brought out extended de-
bate and considerable difference of opin-
ion as to the manner OF dealing with
the trust issue The Democratic members
of the judiciary committee, Messrs. Terry,
De Almond, Lanham and others favored
action along the lines of the Ball resolu-
ton.
The Ball resolution was finally adopted,
with minor amendments. As to the SUBJ
stitute antitrust bill. the resolution
states: I'VE believe that the adoption OF
these drastic provisions will demonstrate
the power OF congress to destroy combi-
nations. monopolies and the consolidation
of capital Familiarity called trusts"
Should the substitute fail of adoption,
the resolution then provides for supporting
the antitrust bill reported by the major
ity. AS to this measure the resolution
says
While not satisfactory to the Demo-
cratic minority and not likely to remedy
the trust evil, this hill does make an
effort toward harassing and outlawing
these enemies of the public. and Demo-
Gratis are not willing to vote down any
measure tending to that end"
The resolution further urges Democrats
to vote against the constitutional amend
ment unless 1t be so amended as TO leave
the states unhampered in enacting anti
trust laws.

AS the car approached the intersection
named Motorman r. II Stilsen. a man
imported from Cleveland. o., and Emer-
gency Policeman Lotion, who were on the
front platform, saw that some. obstruc-
lions had been piled high and that the
tracks were impossible. A big crowd of
people were gathered to witness the re-
moval of the Instructions.
They began to boot and jeer and to APP
ply epithets to the crew of the car, daring
any one to get off the car to remove the
distractions from the track.
Crowd Fires on Motor Man.
AS Stison started to step from the car
his action was the signal for firing to
begin from the crowd. Stilson threw UP
his hands and fell to the front platform
with a bullet through his body In the
fusilade that followed John Il. Rice,
road agent who was on the car was shot
down as he got from his seat inside, re-
ceiving ball through the chest. The
police bodyguard on the car opened fire
on the mob, at least 200 shots in all being
exchanged. The mob scattered and ran
down side streets to get away officer
Lotion said when the shooting began 1t
seemed to him that fifty men had pistols
pointed at the car, and that each one of
them was blazing out fire.
StiII Another ARRAY.
A fourth riot took place at the inter-
section of Gravers avenue and Astor
street, and during its progress Martin
Burke, a striker, was shot in the left hin
Elmer Simpkins was acting as guard
on Cherokee line, and as II was passing

Burke grapplied with him, and i'm the
struggle for the possession of the weapon
two shots were fired one taking effect
in Burke's hip. A crowd of strike SYM
pathizers at once surrounded Simpkins
and gave him an unmercifu beating,
which might have terminated fatally had
not a detachment of police arrived on
the scene at this Juncture and rescued
him.
AT a late hour tonight 1t was learned
that John Decker and Frank Yeager were
both shot In the ARRAY near the Anheus-
er-Busch brewery. The former was shot
in the left thigh and the latter In the
left hand. Neither wound is serious.
