Chicago. May 4.--The death of one
man IL the injury of scores of others
was the immediate result of fighting
between the striking teamsters and
their sympathizers on the one side and
the police and the nonunion men on the
other. There We're riots in all parts of
the city. Men We're dubbed and stoned
almost to death within a square of po-
lice headquarters and five miles away
men were shot down in the streets. AT
Il hundred places between these two
extremes of disturbance there We're as
saults n fights in the streets. Blood
vas shed on State street, in the heart
of the fashionable shopping district,
and furious riots took place almost in
the doorways of the leading hotel.
Nonunion men We're pelted with stones,
bricks and every other conceivable
sort Of missile. They We're dragged
from their wagons, beaten, dubbed and
stamped upon. The mobs that fol-
lowed the wagons on which they rode
We're ugly in the extreme, and but for
the splendid service rendered by the
police force the list of dead would be
twenty.
In return the n%onunion men, all
though hopelessly outnumbered in ev-
cry struggle, fought desperately. In
several instances they drew their re-
volvers and emptied them into the
crowds that pressed around their wag-
ons, pelting them with stones and
threatening their lives. The colored
drivers especially were quick with their
weapons.
Large numbers of the nonunion
drivers carried heavy clubs. md they
wun them with terrific effect
throughout the day. AS far as can
be ascertained the list of injured num-
bers in the neighborhood of forty, but
1t is far short of being Many
men who were in the mobs that at
tacked the wagons went down before
the clubs of the police and of the
wagon guards, but they were carried
ava by their friends, and there is
no chance of learning their names, or
of even guessing at their number.
The outlook is for more fighting, and |
there is not the slightest evidence of
the approaching end Of the strike.
Chicago. May Among the many
detachments of incoming strike break
ers who arrived in Chicago today the |
largest single body perhaps came from
Detroit. They numbered seventy-fve.
and were escorted by heavy guards OF
police through the streets. Assistant |
Chef Schuttler reported thai he had
1.l5O men on strike duty today. This
force he claimed to be able to protect
$50 wagons
TIL outcome of the move TO bring
the teamsters' conflict to a crisis was
awaited today. The EMPLOYERS
had sent an ultimatum to
live leading teaming companies, who
ceased making deliveries to the de-
partinent stores when the transfers en-
tered upon the strike, that they must
either deliver goods to the boycotted
Trims or lose the business permanently.
the tean,ing companies accede to the
of the association it will cause
the spread of the strike to 5000 more
drivers. The action of the leaning
ewners JIG looked forward to with great
interest, both by employers and union
ISIS.
The attitude of the packers, which has
