Policeman Collins. A crowd of men
and boys followed the wagon, hooting,
jeering and throwing stones et the
driver, who became frightened. Stand
ing upon the seat of his wagon, he
drew his revolver and warned the
crowd back. The sympathizers did not
fall back, and Kiser began firing. He
fired five shots, one of the bullets strik-
ing Rhoda. The men withdrew when
Kser began firing. and Kiser whipped
| up his horses and reached the barn.
He was there arrested by Officer Col

ney Packing company were stopped
at Peck court and Wabash avenue, and
only reached their destination after
the police had fought the crowd for
fully half an hour. AS result there
were lots of bruised heads, and the
police made number of arrests.
Strike Spreads.
Thirteen hundred drivers and con.
ductors of delivery wagons for the
downtown department stores were or
dered on strike Tuesday by President
Young. of the Transfers National
union. Following are the stores now
affected: Marshall Field & Co., Car
son, Prize, Scott G. Co.. Charles A. Stew
ems & Bros, Mandel Bros, Schlesinger
& Mayer, the Boston store, the Fair, A.
NJ. Rothschild G. Co. and Siegel, Cooper
& Co.
Previous to ten o'clock the drivers
and conductors OF all the stores had
committees laboring with the national
officers in an effort to avoid strike.
Reasons Given for Strike.
The reason given by the strikers for
leaving their posts was an alleged at
tempt on the part of the department
stores to relieve the Fair by the as
signment of two wagons from each
store for delivery of its goods. Two
men from the Boston store were laid
off for refusal to do this work, al
though Manager Brown asserts the
goods he asked to be delivered were
his own personal property. This pre-
cipitated the trouble, which rapidly
spread to other stores. Hillman's was
permitted to continue deliveries until
noon, as none Of the wagons from that
store reported at the Fair.
