MEN QUIT THEIR JOBS
How Many of Them Is According

Estimates.
MITCHELL FIGURES 80 PER CENT.
While Mine Official Says 1t Is Not
More Than 65-DisOrder
at Chicago.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 3.-The Or
der Of the United Mine Workers call
ing out on strike all engineers, fire
men and pumpmen employed at col
lieries where the eight-hour workday
with present wages was not granteu
went into effect yesterday, and ma
jority of the men obeyed the order.
Neither side can claim victory at
this time, because the struggle on this
phase of the anthracite strike has just
opened. There was only partial
showing of strength yesterday. The
real test of whether or not the mine
pumps shall be manned will begin to-
day. Although majority of the men
quit work, the companies, generally
speaking, succeeded in keeping their
pumps in operation. The operators
feel that at present they have the ad-
vantage. but they are not SO sanguine
of the future.
Claim That Mitchell Makes.
The exact number of men who quit
yesterday cannot be obtained. Each
side refuses to make public their fig.
ures, but gave out information that
roughly estimates the number of men
affected. These estimates are far
apart. National President Mitchell,
OF the miners union, gave out a state
ment in which he says that fully ~
per cent. of the firemen, pumpmen and
engineers have ceased work. The
number will be materially increased
tomorrow A perfect army
of irresponsible men has been en-
ployed by the coal companies to act as
coal and iron policemen. The services
of these men are unnecessary and
their presence unwarranted."
Disputed by a Mine Official.
On the other hand, mining official
of one of the largest coal companies,
who received accurate information
from the entire coal belt, made this
statement: president Mitchell's esti-
mate is toe high. We have received
figures from all our collierieS, and the
general superintendent of all the
other coal companies, but they are not
to be given out, as it would not be
policy to reveal our weak spots or to
betray our StronghOlds as far as they
relate to the collieries individually. |
can, however, say that about 50 per
cent of all the Lehigh Valleys men,
who are scattered from near Scranton
down to ShamOkin. went out.

WILD TIMES AT CHICAGO
Many Disturbances Result from the Strik.
of the Transfers.

Many Disturbances Result from the Strike
of the Transfers.
Chicago, June 3.-Riot and blood
shed marked the progress of the team
sters' strike yesterday. There were
numerous fights between the police
and the strikers and their sympathiz-
ers. Street car traffic was stopped
while the fighting went on, the police
and employees of the packing COM
panies were stoned, and at one place
when surrounded by dense crowd of
men and women the police, fifty
strong, under the command of Lieu
tenant Collins, maddened by the num-
erous stones with which they had been
pelted, drew their revolvers and
charged full into the crowd, which
showed no disposition to retreat. Fists,
stones and clubs were brought into
requisition by. the strikers, and the
police used their batons and the butt
ends of revOlvers freely.
When this fight was over there were
a number Of strikers needing surgical
attendance. None was dangerously
injured as far as known, however, and
the wounded strikers were carried off
by their friends. The fighting began
on the west side shortly after noon,
and in different parts of the city con-
tinued practically all of the after
noon The most serious trouble of the
day occurred in Crosby street in the
district which is known in police cir
cles as Little He'll" and here is where
the police drew their guns.
The mob was led by large man who
came from the gas house near Crosby
street, and who continually called to
his followers to "Kill the coppers first
and hang the scabs afterward." Final
/ iy big policeman got to the man
from the gas house and when it was
over the leader was carried off by his
friends with his head and face COW
cred with blood. This trouble was be-
gun by other teamsters getting right
in the way of the beef wagons, and
staying there. When one of these
teamsters was arrested the riot began.
Women took part in the fight and were
worse than the men.
All sorts Of schemes were tried to stop
meat wagons. Just as an electric car
was On a crossing Of HalSted street
with a meat wagon waiting to get by,
the wire was cut and the car was
stopped on the crossing. Then other
wagons came into the crush and still
others until there was a blockade four
blocks from end to end.
