Rioting Despite Strikes End.
Apparently ignorant Of the strike
settlement. men sympathiZing with the
transfers during the day dragged a
meat wagon driver from his seat, beat
him severely and then demolished the
wagon The driver was Robert Allan,
employed by Irwin Bros, The strike
having been practically settled at that
hour. awaiting only the ratification of
the Transfers union. the firm sent the
wagon out without a guard. At state
and Harrison streets a mob had col
lected, apparently expecting a repetl-
ton of disorder, Allan was horribly
beaten, but at the hospital it was said
he probably would recover. A second
wagon had been sent out by Irwin
Bros, but upon hearing Of the disaster
that had befallen his predecessor the
driver turned back.
Victims of the riots are reported as
being we'll along toward recovery.
Only a few who were taken to hospi-
tails remained there. The more serious
ly injured are sanguine of being out
within few days, and there is no like
lihood of fatalities, so far as known.
