SUPREME IN IRON. AND STEEL
Enormous Strides Made by the United
States in Recent Years.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The
supremacy of the United States
in the production and manufact.
ure of iron and steel is shown by
figures published in the London
Commercial Intelligence, a copy
of which has just reached the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
The worlds total product of
pig iron in 1901, it says, amount
ed to 4O,40S. 600 tons, of which
the United States contributed
Is, ,878, 900 tons; the United King
dom, 7,750,C0O tons; Germany,
1873, 900 tons; Russia, 3, 10000
tons; France, 1852, 900 tons, and
the remainder of the world, 81
$4,000 tons. Comparing the
product of 1901 with that of the
annual average for the five-year
period 1866-7O, it will be seen
that the United States has in.
creased its iron output far more
rapidly than any other nation;
the figures being: United States,
from 1, AGA, 900 tons to Is, ,878, QUO
tons, an increase of 985 per cent;
United Kingdom, from S, 1873, 900
tons to 1850, 900 tons, an increase
of 81 per cent; Germany, from
1,226, 900 tons to 10000 tons,
an increase of 525 per cent; and
the entire world, exclusive of the
countries mentioned, from 2,71O,-
600 tons to 9, III, 900 tons, an in
crease of 236 per cent.
An even more noticeable feat
ure of this growth, pointed out
by the authority from which
these figures are quoted, is the
steady and enormous growth of
the proportion of the worlds
product supplied by the United
States, and the equally rapid de-
cadence in the position held by
Great Britain. Thirty-five years
ago the United Kingdom pro-
duced practically one-half of the
worlds pig iron, while the Unit
ed States produced less than one
seventh of the total; whereas in
1901 the United States stood
first in it's proportion of the to-
tai, contributing practically four
tenths, as against less than two
tenths by the United Kingdom,
and about the same share by
Germany.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE


LONDON, June 2.-The king OF

the Golden Fleece on the Prince
of Wales. The boy king IS de

of an order which was instituted
at Bruges, by Philip, duke OF
Burgundy, who was styled "the
Good" as far back as February
10. 1929. The other grand master
of the order is of course, the em.

had become extinct, Austria

mastership became a dual affair.
To wear the Golden Fleece OF
Austria you must be sovereign,
a prince of reignipg house, OF
a most illustriouS noble. Pre-.
sumably, you must also profess
the old religion. On the latter
point Spain is less exacting.

ditions.

RIOTING IN CHICAGO
Mob Attacks Non Union Drivers and
Officers are Knocked Down.

CHICAGO. June 3-Riot and
disorder, such as Chicago has
not witnessed since the railroad
strike of 1894, followed an at
tempt of the packers yesterday
to break the teamster's strike.
Outbreaks occurred in nearly
every section of the city, and
practically the entire day
strength of the police force was
necessary to quell the distur-
Dances, of which the storm cen.
ter was at Green and West Lake
streets.
Shortly before 6 o'clock the
wagons, under a police guard
from the Central Detail police
station. left Lake and South Wa
ter streets for the company's
barns. When the wagons start.
ed they were followed by a mob
which threw stones at the driv-
ers and attempted to release the
horses from the wagons.
The presence of the police,
however, kept the crowd at bay
until the barns were reached.
Here a crowd of several thousand
had gathered, and when the
drivers attempted to drive the
wagons into the barns they were
stopped. The guard of police
men was insufficient to protect
the wagons, and a riot call was
sent to the Larrabee street sta
tion.
In a moment stones, bottles and
clubs were flying through the air
from the crowd congregated in
the street and from persons on
the house tops in the neighbor-
hood. Women with children IN
their arms mingled with the
strikers, encouraging them to at
tack the police and calling to the
people on the roofs above to
stone them.
Men and boys ran into neigh.
boring yards and returned with
sticks and stones which they
hurled at the police. Frenzied
by the attacks of the moo the
police welded their clubs. Men
were knocked down, and women
and workmen and children were
pushed aside by four policemen
as they fought their way through
the crowd to arrest a man who
stood in the middle of the street
on the seat of a coal wagon wav-
ing coal shovel.
Bloodshed accompanied Sc.
rious riot which started at noon
in the switch yards just north OF
Fulton market. The police were
attacked. Brickbats and rocks
were thrown by the strikers and
their sympathizers.
The trouble started over an at.
tempt of Swift & Co.'S employees
to get five wagons loaded with
beef out of the yards. A yelling
mob of more than a thousand
strikers and their friends was
soon on the scene. Hundreds OF
teamsters who were in the vicin-
ity of the yards drove their teams
around the packers wagons un.
TIL they were hemmed in On all
sides.
For time the police were ut.
terly powerless, and it looked as
if murder would be the outcome
A riot call finally brought 100 OF
more policemen, but the trouble
went on all through the afternoon
until the five wagons were finally
returned to the company's barns
at North Halsted aud West Di'
vision streets.
The way of the drivers on the
wagons of the packers was
blocked at every corner until
they reached Swift's branch
house in South Water street.
Thirty-five teamsters and their
sympathizers were arrested by
the police.
