FATAL RIOT AT CHICAGO
One of the Assailants of Non-Union Men
Killed and Eight Other Strikers
Wounded.

Chicago, Aug. %. - The browning
riot of month of violence took place
at the stock yards when mob of
strikers attacked a Lake Shore train
carrying non-uniOn men to the yards
and was met with fusillade of bull
lets in which one union man was killed
and eight were wounded. The stones
hurled by the mob caused but slight
injuries, and the assailants fled in ev
cry direction when the shooting began.
The dead man is Albert Maskey,
member of the Beef Leaders and Ship
pers' union. The wounded are: Dan
lei O'Mara, leg; Dennis Ryan, arm;
III. Hanson, body graZed; Richard Far
rel, scalp grazed; Albert Johnson, arm;
Peter Tcelles, neck; John E. Kinsella,
arm; Michael Boni. leg. None of the
wounds is serious.
The attack was made when the train
bearing non-union men stopped at a
crossing, according to orders. There
were 1000 strikers and sympathiZers
there and the trouble began at once.
The police got there after the rioters
had fled, but they arrested Olney Ever
EFT, charged with doing the shooting,
and every other man on the train who
had weapon on his person.
The packers have issued statement
for the public, explaining their posi-
ton and declaring they will not enter
into any agreement with the butcher
workmen. They distinctly declare they
will not negotiate any more with the
unions. The history of the trouble is
briefly recited and the strikers are
directly accused of bad faith in violat-
ing the agreement for arbitration. On
the other hand the strikers have issued
a statement declaring the policy Of
the packers to have been oppressive.
and always in opposition to the union.
