SOME DISORDER is REPORTED
One Man BrutaIy sIuseed and Beat
en- Until Unconscious, While Police
Make BungIins Job of Arrests -
Packing Houses Running, But Not
at Full Capacity.


persons today saw one of the most
brutal cases of sfugging and some poor
craftsmanship on the part of policemen
since the strike at the stock yards be-
gan. John Mulloy, a strike breaker,
was attacked at Forty-first and Hal
sted streers by three men. He was
nose being. broken, his eyes. cut open
with terrific blows and his ear nearly
torn off. The sluggers had complet-
ed their work when five policemen in
terfered. The assaulters fled with the
police in pursuit. The chase led thru
a crowd cf strike sympathizers and
spectators thru the streets and alleys.
Two of the sluggers leaped into a laun-
dry wagon and escaped, but the third
man. John Doody, continued to run.
The police. began firing revolvers at
9oody, but failed to hit him. The fus-
liade sounded like sham battle and
finally Doody fell and was arrested.
Mattresses Strike.
The Mattresses employed in the res
taurants OF Armour. Swift and Nor
ris companies to the number Of eighty
Quit this morning on account OF the
presence OF colored cooks. At least that
was the reason given by the girls, but
1t is inferred that the real cause folt
their leaving was desire to aid In
the sympathetic strike. Their places
were Immediately filled by colored
men. Several girls who later sought
to return TO work were roughly hand
led by feruinine strikers, but none
MAS seriously hurt.
Plants In Operation.
Despite the fact that $4,000 or more
regular employees are on strike all
the big packing plants were declared
to be in nearly full operation today.
Nearly every man who went out yes
terday, it was claimed, had been re-
placed by non -unionist and among
the recruits We're said to be number or
students from Armour Institute who
have taken the places of firemen in the
various plants. While the firemen went
out, it is asserted that not more tnan
a dozen engineers struck. as but few OF
the latter were union men. According
to the packers 900 non-union men from
other cities reached the city today ana
were distributed among the various
plants. or these forty We're skilled
butchers from New York. There was
killing of cattle. hogs and sheep In all
the plants. but with the supply on hand
we'll cleaned UP there will be nttie OF
no slaughtering tomorrow.
Ior VIZ
score Of panic stricken colored strike
breakers hired by Swift 81 Co., spread
CONSERVATION thru the yards early to-
day. Riot calls were sent to the po-
lice and the armed guards of Packing
town turned out in full force. Falling
to discover any strikers the police ar
rested and disarned the strike break
ers.
Clerks Unload Hogs.
Men with panama hats. expensive
clothing and fine linen. took charge OF
the unloading OF today's arrivals at the
wards. They were made UP OF office
and clerical forces of various commits
sion houses and while, they toiled
among the running swine the strikers
in heavy boots and rough garb stood
polsing fun at the volunteer crews.
Teamstsrs Will Go Out.
That strike Of the packing house
+eamsters will occur tomorrow was adj
,,ittea today as inevitable by George
r. Golden. president of their union.
Golden telegrarhed Cornelius shea,
president of the Team
sters. union at Indianapolis today and
informed him it would be impossible to
keep the drivers at work after today.
Fifteen thousand men and women to-
day attended the first general mass
held since the beginning OF the
strike Addresses were made by var
ious labor union officials.
Thru a decision reached today by the
OF the strike. independent
hackers will have the privilege OF
sending their own men into the yards
and driving. out or feeding indepen-
dent packers own cattle. hogs and
sheep. This will permit the indepen-
dents to operate with little interruption
on account of the strike.
During the day thirty-two teamsters
for the different plants We're stopped at
a single gare by the strike pickets.
Each taams-er went to President Cold
en- with complaint saying that they
had to quit to save their lives. 1t is
stated at the meeting of the Team
sters' Union tonight these teamsters
will demand that a sympathetic strike
be voted in force.
