MORE RIOTOUs PROCEEDINGS
Women Lead One Mob That Attacks q
Couple of Men.


Chicago, Aug. 15.-Rioting occurred
In several places on the south side,
the trouble being precipitated in each
instance by attacks of crowds of strik-
ers upon non-union men. There were
several instances early in the night
where men were beaten, but none Of
men led a mob that pursued Ray Doug
las and his son Fred when they left
the stock yards to go to their home
on FOrtyfOurth street The two wo.
men ran after the men crying that
they had taken the places of their hus-
bands and in a short time they had
collected crowd of fully 1000 people,
who pelted the Douglases with stones
and sticks.
When they ran into their home, the
mob was at their heels, and Sylvia
Douglas. the 5-year-old daughter Of
Ray Douglas. who attempted to follow
her father into the house, was knocked
down and trampled upon. She was
carried into a neighbours house in a
critical condition. The mob remained
in front of the Douglas house until
scattered by the police, and badly
wrecked the place by throwing stones.
A colored man whose name is not
known was attacked by a mob late
at night at Thirty-first street and
Fifth avenue. The man was chased
into drug store, but was compelled
to flee when the mob broke down the
front door. He then sought refuge in
the home of Mrs. Christian Parks, 300

Mrs. Parks with injury unless she
drove the man from her house so that
they could get him. She refused, and
John Fletcher, also a colored man,

tect the fugitive. The mob attempted
to storm the house and Fletcher opened

The patron is required to sign an
order for a case of beer. and he is
permitted to drink what is wanted at
any time, the money as paid being
credited on the purchase price of the
beer. That this is popular is attested
by the fact that last month one COM

J. Ogden Armour delayed his trip to
Boston for twentyfOur hours In or
der to consider the proposition, which
originated with the strikers. and Is
said to have SANCTIONED 1t before the

that indirect communication between
the packers and representatives of hte
strikers has been frequent, and both
sides are familiar with the proposition,
and are said TO be favorauiy impressed
by it.

1t is also reported that if the pack
ers reject the new proposition the
teamsters CT all kinds whose business
has any relation to the stock yards
will be ordered to refuse to deliver
goods; also that other teamsters such
as market garden and other drivers
will cease to deliver goods to estab-
lishments which handle the products
of the stock yards. This would ex-
tend the boycott to point that would
leave Chicago with practically nothing
to eat in the way of meat or vegeta-
bles. The controlling local body of
the transfers union has instructed its
members not 70 handle any goods
which had formerly been handled by
the packing house transfers, and un-
der no circumstances to work under

PENSIONS FOR EX-PRIsONERs
Proposal for . Medal of Honor Instead Is
Voted Down.


Much time was taken up with a
discussion as to whether the ex-pris-
oners would rather have a medal of
honor or pension from the United
States. A motion asking the United
States to issue a special medal of hon.
or to all those veterans who had been
in rebel prisons was lost, and it was
almost unanimously voted to petition
the next congress to pass a bill pro-
viding that every prisoner of war be
paid 81 for each day he was In prison.
The most notable gathering of the
G.. A. r. in the evening, aside from
the campfire, was the banquet in his

New York, Nov. 25.--So great has been the rush of immigrants to this port within the last few days, that the immigrant station at Ellis Island was crowded today and several thous- and steerage passengers were forced to remain tonight on board the steam CTS on which they aarrfved.
 When the Baltic came in during the forenoon with steerage list num- bering 1,T0O the officials of the steam CT were informed that there was no room for them on the island. Five thousand inmisrants were already crowded in the detention quarters, while the normal handling capacity of the complete force of inspectors is only 5000 '-
 Under the circumstances they re- fused absolutely to handle the addi- tionaI i,70O brought in by the Baltic and fhe steamship officers were obliged to keep them on board under guard. As there Is a fine of S1o0 per head for any immigrant who escapes from ship before being properly exam ined by the authorities, the big liner was put practically under martial law to prevent the disappearance of any of the steerage passengers, all of whom wanted to go ashore at once.

San Francisco. Nov 25.--After spending almost the entire day in btt- ter debate, the difference between the Brewery Workers union and the Inter- national Brotherhood of Engineers Firemen and Teamsters was settled by the American Federation of Labor.
 The vote on every point at issue with one minor exception was against the brewery workers union.
 The brewery workers insisted that all firemsn. engineers and teamsters employed about the breweries should join and come under the jurisdiction of the Brewery Workers Union. The reports of the International Brother hood of Engineers, Bremen and Team sters objectcd to thls and offered a resolution to the effect that all work CTS In breweries be organized accord ing to their respective crafts and ask ed the convention to vote that all en- gineers. firemen and teamsters now iu the Brewery Workers Union shall leave 1t and join organizations of their re- spective crafts.
 For an hour q debate was indulged in on the proposition to substitute the word may for shall" and the con yention finally voted the change. Thls permits the engineers, firemeu and teamsters to elect whether they shall secede from the Brewery Workers
 Must withdraw suits.
 The convention voted that all injunc- tions pending or obtained by the Brewery Workers Union against the other organizations be withdrawn or dissolved.
 Santiago Igleslas. representative from Porto Rico, addressed the dele gates and said that the condition oi the workmen in his native land was worse under the present regime than under that when Spain was in power He averred that 500 Porto Ricans dfec each month from starvation.
 The proposition to amalgamate tho three central bodies of san Francisco was faund to be an impossible task at the present tlmA. as was the attempt to adjust the differences between thu Brotherhood of Carpenters and the As. socIation of Wood Workers.
 The delegates unanimously voted tC use every effort to make more effective the union label as 1t was avowed that the enemies of organized labor wer' endeavoring to destroy the labels meaning.
 A resolution to do away with thu Washington lobby was voted dowr speeches in favor of its passage. Th' socialists were opposed on the floor bl President Gompers. The latter bit terly denounced the Socialists for wha he termed their sneering tirades.

thereby indirectly aiding the navies of those countries and their naval re- serves at the expense of our own. He favored subsidies as the means of building up the merchant marine.
 Declaring that 1t was through nurs- ing a particular British industry the carrying trade, that England owes her supremacy of the seals today, Captain Mahan said that American shipping should be encouraged to come Into ex- istence and to compete with the carry ing trade of the world. He uttered note of warning, however, concerning the development of a force upon which the United States could expect some thing but from which, he said. too much should not be expected. He ad- mitted that the value of a merchant ma rine as an auxiliary to the navy In time of war would be immense. He suggested that one way to form the nucleus of a large. trained naval ser. vice would be to develope the foreign shipping trade and after that to re- serve 1t to American seamen.
 The committee will meet tomorrow and hold sessions during the week for the purpose of formulating report and . bin. It is understood that the dis eliminating duty proposal which has been advocated by a number of per- sons interested in shipping has been abandoned by those who are preparing the measure to be presented.

THE PLIGHT OF POLAND
SUFFERS WITH REST or RUSSIA
 FROM THE WAR.
Between 25,0OO and 30 O0O Persons Out of Employment in WarsayS-Bad Harvemts Ldd to Distress
 Of the People.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 25,--The Asso- ciated Press has received the following letter from Warsaw regarding the slt- uation in Poland.
 Economically. Poland Is suffering with the rest of Russia on account ot the war. Poland had a large market in Siberia, but this has been aImost entirely cut off on account of the lack of facilities for transportation. Re- tween 25,n00 and 30.000 persons are out of work in Warsaw, but the Govern ment is trying to give relief, Over 4000 have been given employment at making clothes and boots for the sol diers.
 TWO bad harvests in succession add to the distress. Socialism seems to be making headway only in a few indus trial centres like Warsaw and Lodz i. Although there is unrest among the peasaptry, they are untouched by tho socialistic propaganda. The rioting 9 week ago was caused by a combination of socialism and want, aceentuated by conscription and the calling out of the reserves.
 The rioters seized the moment when the people were emerging from the Church of All Saints to unfurl a red flag, but the demonstration sesmed tc be without definite purpose. The police were taken unawares and fired several rounds. The workmen also were armed and used their weapons freely. Eff teen persons were killed and sixty wounded
