Strikers Attack the Sheriff and He Reads
Them a Lecture.
st. Paul, July 1S-The first clash
between the sheriff's force and rhe
striking butchers of Swift & Co.'s plant
at South st. Paul occurred when a
spirited and successful effort was
made by the company, assisted by
Sheriff Grisim and deputies, to force
about twenty-five men through big
crowd of strikers who were congre-
gated about the entrance to the pack
ing house yards. A severe hand-to-
hand encounter ensued and several on
both sides were badly bruised. One
of the strikers, j. X. Banks, marshal
of the striking pickets, was arrested
later and fined $25. ~
The clash happened after Sheriff
Grisim had held a conference win
Governor Van SAINT on the strike sit
uation, during which the governor had
instructed Sheriff Grisim to use his
utmost endeavors to disperse the large
gathering of strikers who since the
strike began have congregated about
the entrance to the packing house
yards and prevented all persons from
going inside The sheriff accordingly
undertook to escort the new men into
the works accompanied by Manager
Tuffie.
The strikers lined up at once and
resisted the sheriff, and Banks at
tackled Tuffie, throwing him to the
ground and pummeling him. The sher-
iff rescued him and arrested Banks
The twenty-five new men got through
After the fight the sheriff called the
pickets together and told them that
state of riot existed, and that if II
did not cease he would have to call
for the militia; that the strikers had
no right to interfere with access to the
plant in any way. and must stop it.
that he had arrested one of the strik-
ers, but had procured him a mice
easy fine, but that the trouble must
cease. The strikers argued the case
and insisted that the law was being
observed, and as soon as the sherih
left proceeded to again put the works
in state of siege.

Result Is That Seven Persons Are Hurt,
Some Rioters Included.
Chicago, July 1S.-In an attack on
four colored men, who are working in
the stock yards, by a mob composed
of spectators at an amateur base ball
game in the vicinity of the yards two
white men, one policeman and the four
negroes were severely injured Re-
v0lvers and knives were used and three
of the injured men are in serious
condition
The injured are: William Durand,
shot in jaw and neck, serious; James
Kiely, stabbed on left side, near heart,
may die; Policeman j. w. Sweeny,
struck in head and back by bricks
while trying to quell the disturbance;
John Hunter, face and neck slashed
with knife, severely beaten about
body; Grant Baker, cut about face and
head; Samuel Wood, cut with knife
and beaten about body and face, seri-
ous-these three were the negro stock
yards employees; William Riley, face
cut and body bruised.
After finishing their days work at
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger's plant the
four colored men on their way home
had to pass the grounds where an
amateur base ball game was in prog
ress. There were fully 1000 present
and somebody yelled ''scabs." That
was all that was needed and rush
was made for the four men. Wood
drew a revolver too late TO stand on
the mob, which knocked him down
and began jumping ON him. He fired
and hit Durand, one of the mob. Baker
was knocked down, but drew a knife,
scrambled to his feet and stabbed Kie-

END Of NEGOTIATIONS
No Signs of a Settlement of the
Strike in the Great Packing
& Houses.
HITCH THAT IS NOT REMOVED
Packers Decline tn Discharge the new
Men to Make Places for the Old
Trouble at st. Paul 4
and Chicago.


Chicago, July 1S.-All chance OF
peace in the packers strike has van
ished for the time being, at least. The
end of negotiations came after long
conference between three officials Of
the strikers and a number of pack
ers. The final break resulted when the
union officials insisted that all the men
who had gone out on strike be taken
back and given their old places. The
packers declared that this would neces-
state the discharge of all the men they
ment of the strike, and that they could
not and would not consider it. The
conferencethen broke up and the strike
will continue.
Only One Question ut Issue.
The question of taking back the
strikers was the only one upon which
the parties could not agree, the strik-
ers' committee having waived all the
other points formerly at issue. The
packers declined to fix time at which
all the old men should be given work,
standing firmly by the proposition that
they should have work as places were
vacated or additional men wanted.
This would have kept large numbers
of the strikers out Of work Indefinitely
and the strikers committee refused to
accept the proposition.
More Work Done at the Yards.
Working conditions at the local
yards were improved further. Over
200 more were put at work and dis
tributed through the various plants.
At Armour's plant over 1000 hogs and
nearly 400 cattle were slaughtered. Al
Morris & Co.'S twenty-five butchers
were at work than the day before, and
$50 hogs were killed during the day.

became apparent when they learned
that over 200 Polish butchers have de-
