freight handlers would refuse to han

through freight houses.
President Donnelly said that he did
not desire the freight handlers tc
strike at this time. Another confer

last teamsters' strike at the yards
the freight handlers employed by the
Santa Fe, Grand Trunk and Wabash
roads struck against handling the
meat.
International Secretary Homer Call
of the Butcher Workmen will arrive
in Chicago tomorrow to confer with
President Donnelly regarding the fail

ers arrived at the yards according to
the different superintendents.
In no other strike that has ever
occurred in Chicago has the police de-
partment taken such a firm stand
so early in the contest as in the pres
ent instance.
1t was the general feeling in police
circles last night as soon as the order
for the walkout of the teamsters be-
came known, that the chance for trou-
BILE had been greatly increased and
that extra precautions would be neces.
sary to maintain order.
At the yards, under one or the most
sweeping orders ever issued, the po-
lice stopped all pickets and all picket
ing. No two persons, no matter whom
they might be, were allowed to stop
and converse on any topic In Root,
Halsted, or the other streets where
disorder has prevailed
ARREST every picket you find and
keep the streets clear every moment" "
was the order Inspector Hunt issued
to his men, who placed grip of steel
on the yards district.
At the same time Inspector Hunt
formed several hundred policemen In
to "fying squadrons"
These were sent up and down Hal

avenue, sweeping the thoroughfares
clean with their clubs and forcing
everybody to keep moving. Even

Rioting spread to the north side dur
ing the day. Edward Charleston, driv.

the market Of Swift & Co. in North
Halsted street, was attacked by a
crowd at Beethoven Place and Sedg-
wick street and beaten. The horses
were cut loose and the wagon was
overturned, It's contents being scat

A riot call was sent to the East
Chicago avenue station and, with a
patrol wagon crowded with policemen.
Inspector Shippy rushed to the scene
of the riot in person. When the DO
lice reached the Sedgwick street cor.
ner, the crowd blocked the street from
wall to wall and the driver of the wag-
on had been severely beaten.
The police charged the mob with
clubs, striking right and left and bruis-
ing dozens of persons before the
crowd was scattered and sent scurry-
ing down the streets.
Despite the police clubs the crowd,
having cut the horses loose, made a
dash for the wagon.

The Brannock election at Alliance
will be contested in the courts, the
petition having been filed yesterday.
This law has been mystery. In
most cities the liquor men have made
good use Of it and have fixed the dis
tricts to their own advantage. Half
hearted temperance people in other
sections have kept dry" what is al
ready devoid of saloons. At Alliance
it was different. Over there they took
on a hot fight and won out. Now the
Law is claimed to be unconstitutional
and the proceedings are said to have
been irregular.

from another direction.
Steps were taken late this afternoon
to appeal to Mayor Harrison to inter-
vene and end the big stock yards
strike.
This action was taken by members
of the Meat Dealers Association of
Chicago at a special meeting held at
the Sherman House. A committee was
named to urge the mayor to interfere
and then seek to force a settlement
of the strike.
If the committee is able to prove
to the mayor that he would be justi.
fed in acting, the latter will go ahead
In an effort to interfere in the strike
without consulting either side to the
controversy. The first step, in such an
event, will be the appointment of a
committee to meet representatives OF
both the packers and the men.
Commenting on the reply of the
packers, Michael Donnelly, president
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America said
"The answer of the packers to the
state board of arbitration Is sufficient
evidence that they had planned to
crush every union in the stock yards.
They broke the agreement they now
uphold so strongly, and that act was
part of the conspiracy to crush our
organizations. Our cause is right and
therefore we and not theApackers will
triumph"
