STRIKERS TRYING TO GET

Rioting in Chicago Due to Strikers

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 19.-Strong in
huences are being ezerted in councils
of labor Leaders, in favor of extending
sympathetic strike of teamsters. Several
officers Of the teamsters are earnestly
urging that line Of action. The
chances are against the spread Of the
strike, because President Donnelly
and National President Shea, of
teamsters are opposed to it. Both say
it would not materially help the stock
yards strikers Donnelly claims that
they can win without involving any
more outside men. No talk heard of
peace negotiations.
Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The fercest riot
OF the stock yards strike occurred
this evening, when hungry dwellers Of
the packing house district sought to
capture and kill eight steers which
had escaped from the yards. The
mob numbered 40, 600 persons and the
streets were cleared only after 12O
policemen, in five squads, had charged
the rioters on four sides. Shots
we're fired and scores of rioters we're
clubbed.
A bullet grazed the cheek of Po-
lice Lieut. George Prim and police
sergeant was stripped of his star and
club by woman rioter.. One man
was so severely battered that he was
sent to the Englewood Union hospital.
Few arrests were made, as the police
con tented themselves with dispensing
the mob. The temper of the police
was shown, however, when call for
reenforcements was answered by a
an ambulance. In no previous riot
were clubs used SO freely.
