Assaults in Parts Of City Remote
from Business Section.
Deputy Sheriffs and Police Man
age to Restore Order.
State Troops Will Be Called If
1t IS Necessary.

Chicago, May 6.-The crisis in the
teamsters' strike is expected to come
during the day. The State street mer-
chants have decided to send out 1 100
wagons to make deliveries in all parts
of the city. AS far as possible these
wagons will be guarded by deputy
sheriffs and in some cases by the local
police. 1t will be impossible for all
of the wagons to be guarded by the
deputy sheriffs, but it is the intention
to place two men on each wagon as
far as the number of deputies already
sworn in will permit Sheriff Barrett
had 200 deputies in service Friday
night and said that he thought this
number would be ample for the work
outlined. II it is not, it is said, he
will conclude that the sheriff's office
and the local police are not able to
control the situation and a request will
be made for the state militia. Govern
or Deneen has said that he will order
out the. troops if the request is made
ure or success of the attempt at retail
deliveries depends the coming Of the
troops. Fifteen wagons were sent out
Friday by the large dry goods and de.
partment stores, and all of them made
deliveries without Interruption On
each OF these wagons rode two depu-
ty sheriffs. 1t was the success OF this
q fnY Vt Of Ill,
prompted the stores to send out dur
Ing the day practically their full force
of wagons.
Much Less Riotns. /
Either because of the threatened ap-
pearance of the troops or because of
the addition to the police force in the
shape of deputy sheritfs, there was
much less rioting and fighting in the
downtown streets during the day than
on any day this week
The wagons of the express COM
panies, each one Of which carried a
guard, armed with Winchester rifle,
or double-barrelled shotgun, went to
and fro between the depots and ex-
press offices without interruption 9TH
er than of an occasional stone thrown
from the sidewalk, or some other mis-
slle hurled from window. There
was little of this, however, and the
wagons were practically unmolested.
An order issued early in the day by
Chief Of Police O'Neill directing that
all persons should be prevented from
following up wagons as they went
through the streets had much to do
with the absence of rioting. In the
early days of the strike. when the wa
CONS of boycotted firm passed
through the streets they were follow
ed by hundreds of men and boys anx-
ions to see any fight that might occur
OF late, however, these crowds of fol.
lowers have become much more ugly
in temper and have constituted one
OF the chief sources of trouble. The
police during the day turned back all
groups of men that they could dis
cover in the act of following wagons
and there was much less opportunity
for riots.
While there was less rioting in the
downtown streets, there were numer-
GUS assaults committed in all parts of
the city remote from the principal
business section. Wherever a crowd
could fnd wagon with small police
guard or unprotected. there was sure
to be trouble If the driver was non
union man. In several cases the .driv-
ers were badly beaten and their wa
CONS overturned and the goods stolen.
In others the drivers escaped injuries
only by the f1eetness of their horses.
Police Dispense Mob.
Three coal wagons after making
delivery at the factory of SELF, Schwah
& Co., at Ohio and Kingsbury streets.
were attacked by a crowd which pur-
sued them for more than half mile,
raining stones, bricks and bottles up
on the police officers and the drivers.
The riot finally ended at the Dear
born street bridge, when the police
made final desperate charge and dis
persed the mob.
Edward L4ashem, president of the
Lashem Teaming company, was at
tackled by a crowd of union teamsters
at Madison and Union streets and fear
fully beaten. His condition is serious.
Seven Of his assailants were arrested.
The first call for able bodied" men
among the employees of the city to aid
in the suppression of the rioting in the
streets was made during the after
noon. One hundred laborers from the
water pipe extension division of the
city were ordered to report during the
day at the Office of Superint
lowering, and from there they will be
marched in a body to the Office of Chief
of Police O.Neill, where they will be
sworn in as special policemen. The
men were selected by their foremen
who asked them to volunteer for strike
duty Only such men as expressed
themselves as willing to serve on
strike duty were taken. All of them
are under fiftg years of age.
