A BLOODY STRIKE RIOT.
Chicago, June 4.-The disturbances
attendant upon the packing house
teamsters' strike broke out afresh
early today when the wagon belonging
to alderman Duddleston, driven by
non union man, tried to land a load
of hams and bacon. at the station of
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road. A crowd of toughs and strike
sympathizers set upon the driver and
overturned the wagon and stole his
meat. The driver after belaboring
some of his assailants with club, ran
from the scene and when patrol wag-
on full of policemen with number of
officers on foot arrived, the crowd
scattered At the stock yards, attempts
are being made to relieve the semi
meat famine that is depressing the ho-
tells and eating houses. Early this
morning a caravan of six wagons, two
from Armours, two from Swifts, and
one each from the Nelson Morris and
Schwartzschild and Sulzberger's plants,
started under the escort of patrol and
fifteen policemen toward the down town
districts to supply the stores with
meat.
A pitched battle occurred between a |
crowd of negroes that were imported |
to take the places of the strikers, and
toughs and strikers early today in
which six negroes were badly injured,
two possibly mortally. They were sub
stitutes for driving the wagons when |
they were assaulted. Many Of the as
sailants were armed with ice picks and |
the negroes were badly lacerated.
At 9 o'clock this morning an impos- /
ing caravan of 3S wagon loads Of beef, |
interspersed with five busses containing |
policemen, came out Of the stock yards |
amid the boots and cries of derfsion |
from the crowds.
The large meat caravan reached the |
Illinois Central depot at 10 o'clock ac-
companied by the constantly increasing |
crowd. During the unloading Of the /
meat the mob showed its ugly temper,
by throwing coal and bricks, but the
well armed police guard served to
check more serious demonstrations.
