STRIKERS IN RIOT
ass, At EAST ST. LOUIS
Attack Several street Cars Carrying
Breakers to Their Homes.

East ST. Louis, ILL.,: For fifteen
minutes Wednesday afternoon body
of strikers in East st. Louis stormed
street cars which were carrying the
strike.breakers from the packing.
houses, defying the police who were
on the scene at the time the riot be-
gan and injuring many Of the occu-
pants of the cars.
The trouble occurred on the stock
yards street car line at the point on
st. Clair avenue where the line crosses
the Vandalia railroad tracks.
At $50 o'clock in the afternoon
two cars were stopped at this point
to wait for the passing Of a train
over the Vandalia tracks. AS soon
as the cars came to a halt several
strikers who had gathered near the
crossing began to thow missiles
through the windows. The attacking
party was Immediately Joined by sew
eral more men, and the attack became
a regular fusilade of stones and
bricks.
Anna Myer and Theresa Wagner,
Nineteenth street, were struck and
slightly injured. Several others were
more seriously hurt.
S. L. Scroggins, who was on one Of
the cars, drew a revolver as soon as
the attack began and prepared to re-
sist. He fred a shot, which took eff
feet in the leg of Philip Weaver, 16
did fvrfn nN A~NA
Ninth street. 1t is also said that the
boy was also on a car when the riot
began. He jumped off and ran to
the house Of Policeman Sam Over
mire. It is said he was Just mounting
the steps when the ball struck him in
the calf Of the leg. Scroggins stated
that he meant to fire into the ground.
He was arrested and charged with
carrying concealed weapons.
Steve Kowek was also arrested,
charged with throwing a stone at one
of the cars. Kowek was a Deputy
Sheriff employed at the stock yards
during the early part of the strike.
He is also one Of the men who have
been cited to appear for violation of
the packers injunction, but had never
been arrested until Wednesday night.
After the train which had caused
the cars to stop moved on, the cars
proceeded and were unmolested after
crossing the tracks. In few minutes
another train arrived and FIVE cars,
which had to wait till it passed, were
attacked by the strikers.
BY this time Chief of Police George
o. Purdy had detailed all the men
available to the scene of the riot, and
the police force was able to cope with
the rioters. They succeeded in driv-
ing them back, but not before they
had done considerable damage to the
cars and injured several passengers.
After the second demonstration the
street car officials were requested to
stop running cars on the stock yards
division until police protection could
be insured. After twenty minutes
Chief Purdy instructed the company
that the cars might begin running
again. No further trouble followed.
1t is thought that the attack on the
cars was prearranged because of re-
newed interest in the situation caused
by President Donnelly's last strike
order.

STRIKE INCREASES
INSTEAD OF ENDING
oonnslly Declares He VIII Call Out
swltehmen at stock Yards.

Chicago: Leaders of the stock yards
strike executed an about-front Tues
day night and, instead OF declaring the
struggle would be prolonged indefin-
itely and extended as far as possible
In pursuance of the latter policy, $50
live stock handlers we're ordered on
strike Wednesday.
The handlers say they will refuse
to take care of any live stock that
arrives at the yards. All employees
at Independent plants belong to the
unions. With the supply Of live stock
shut Off, the small packers would be
forced to shut down, thus adding 1000
men to THE army of idle.
President Donnelly declared Tues
day night that he would also be able
to call out all the swltchmen employed
on the railroads which do business at
the stock yards. and possibly to extend
the strike to other departments of the
railroads.
East Side Butchers to Stand Firm.
By a resolution, passed at a general
meeting Tuesday, the East Side pack
ing house strikers declared their in
tention Of remaining out until they
win the strike. kilograms between
the central office at Chicago and the
local branches were numerous Tues
day. The desire for news from head
quarters became so strong that the To-
cal leaders were compelled to call a
public meeting at the city hall for the
purpose Of explaining the situation.
The meeting was called to order
by James Sheehan, vice president of
the butchers union, in the absence of
President Moran. Mr.. Sheehan intro
duced Theodore Merz, who stated that
the reports sent out from Chicago that
the strike was on the verge of a
settlement or that the leaders had
called the strike off were unfounded.
He stated that he had received a tele-
gram from President Donnelly and also
one from Mr.. Moran requesting the
men in East st. Louis to stand firm.
1t was stated at the meeting that
although the strikers commissary de-
partment had not been able to give en-
tirely satisfactory service, it was be-
lieved all strikers would be provided
with plenty of meat and bread Wednes-
day. At the packing plants the man
agement stated that they had plenty of
men and that the plants were turning
out nearly the usual amount of dressed
beef.
