SCHOOL CHILDREN IN A RIOT
Police Called Out to QueiI Disturbance
at Detroit.

Detroit. Sept. 23.-The police were
called Tuesday night to quell a riot
that developed in the semi-fashionable
district of Cass Park, which was
caused by striking pupils from the
eighth. grade of the Cass school. A
policeman was struck in the face by
q brick and was so hard pressed that
he was compelled to send a riot call
and a patrol wagon with many off,
GERS finally succeeded in dispensing
the bowling mob of youngsters.
The pupils had assembled in the vi
entity of the school to discuss the re-
cent discharge of Professor Eugene
Whitney a few days ago. The crowd
was augmented by full grown men and
boys and it was through their in.
fluence. it is said, that the trouble was
started. Many girls lined the side
walks and encouraged the boys in
their. riotous acts.
Patrolman Palmer. who was struck
In the face with the brick, will be laid
up for several days. The police were
unable to discover the ringleaders of
the trouble and no arrests were made.

FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT,
Labor Union Brings Suit Against an
Employer,

Labor Union Brings Suit Against an
Employer.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-An interest
ing and rather unusual suit was begun
here Tuesday by a labor union against
an employer for breach of contract.
The suit is brought by the Amalga.
mated Painters association, incorpo-
rated, against Huneker & Sons. mas.
ter painters, and the amount of dam
ages claimed is $4,000. Huneker, it
is alleged. had a contract with the
Amalgamated association to employ
only members of that organization,
which is being bitterly antagonized by
a rival painters union. known as the
Brotherhood of Painters, P%aperhang-
ers and Decorators. The latter union,
backed up by the allied building
trades Of Philadelphia. requested
Huneker to discharge the Amalgamat-
ed men under threat of calling sympa-
thetic strikes on all operations where
Huneker was doing work. He at
first refused, but finally decided to dis.
miss all the Amalgamated men, and
employ Brotherhood workmen. The
suit of the Amalgamated painters then
followed.
