BATTLE IN STREETS AND MANY
ARE HURT.
MUCH HARM:To PROPERTY
Attempt of Fair Store to Start Two
Delivery Wagons With Non-Union
Drivers Precipitates Riot and is
Abandoned-ShoW Windows are
Broken by Flying Stones,

Chicago, June 4-The police were
given a strenuous life yesterday by
the striking transfers From day.,
light until long after dark the blue
coats were kept busy. In spite of the
strikers and their friends, thirty
three wagon loads of meat were de-
liyered to down town stations. Before
the task was accomplished, however.
Score of policemen and rioters were
injured and fully fifty persons arrest
ed Several were so seriously injure6
that they were taken to the hospitals.
Two may die.
To add to the policemens' troubles
1900 drivers and helpers employed by
the State street department stores
went on strike yesterday. An at
tempt to deliver goods with non-union
drivers under police protection caused
so much disorder that the attempt
proved futile. Before the project was
abandoned several rioters were huT.
and many arrests made.
In the afternoon, under a guard Of
SO police, the Fair store started two
delivery wagons. Within a block
heavy express wagon drove full tilt
into the leading wagon. The police
charged upon the crowd with drawn
clubs and struck freely at the peop'e
neares them. After a short but fierce
struggle the crowd was pressed back
and the procession resumed. Before
another block was traversed the crowd
made rush for the wagons and
sharp battle followed. Bricks and
stones were thrown with such effect
that after the fight vas over dozens of
big show windows in adjoining build
ings were shattered.
In the attack which police made
upon the crowd a dozen men were Sc
verely injured. The fierceness of the
fight discouraged further progress and
the two wagons were headed back to-
the Fair. When the wagons reached
the alley leading across the rear of
the Fair the police with a desperate
charge cleared the way through the
crowd that had swelled to thousands.

crater and Lake Palmiste are emitting
steam through thousands of orifices.

are issuing from the volcano. The
lower mud craters, however, are still
pouring forth torrents.
