RIOT AT CHICAGO
Demand Work and Whiskey and
Then Proceed to Wreck
a Saloon.

Chicago, Nov. J.-Over a hundred
Poles and italians became riotous in
their demands for work at the plant
of the Illinois Steel company in South
Chicago, hurting clubs and stones
through windows and trying to batter
down the gates TO gain entrance to the
works. Several were injured in the
melee before they were finally dis
persed by the police. The rioters were
former employees of the steel mills who
had been discharged.
After their dispersal the rioters re
tired to the saloon of Thomas Walsh.
Here they spent an hour drinking and
talking of their supposed wrongs until
all of their money had been spent
Give us some more whisky. We will
pay after we get work. said one of
the Poles. Cant get whisky without
money" replied Walsh. Then we
will take it, was the reply, and they
proceeded to wreck the saloon

Where Golden Missed 1t.

After dealing with conditions dur
ing the past fifty years under free
trade, and quoting figures to sustain
his argument, Chamberlain comment
ed on CObden's position, and quoted
Golden as saying that the United
States would eventually abandon
manufacturing and that their work
men would go back to the land and dig
and deIve for u.s. Americans. how
ever, said Chamberlain, had not so con-
ceived their national destiny and did
not believe that they were created by
providence to dig and delve and plOw
for the benefit of Great Britain.
Doesn't Blame Uncle Sam.
They knew that they had. resources
of their own, and behind the tariff
wall they had built up their indus
tries until they had reached stage
where, msatisfed with the extent of
their own markets, they were invad-
ing those of the United Kingdom.
Chamberlain said he did not blame
the United States, but he appealed to
Englishmen to say whether they would
adhere to the old system or adopt ar,
other which would prevent the Ameri
can invasion.
