In plain view az hundreds Of ladies
who were compelled to run from the
mob TO save their own lives.
In many instances men walking
along the streets who had no active
connection whatever with the strike
were assaulted by hoodlums, who beat
them first and later ACCUSED them OF
being strike-breakers. A notable In.
stance OF this kind was that OF Rev.
W. X Wheeler, pastor OF the Ninth
Presbyterian church, who while pass
ing the corner Of Desplaines and Ad
ans streets on his way 10 the Pennsyl.
vania depot. was attacked by three
men, who knocked him down and beat
him numerically until the timely ar
rival OF a policeman saved him from
further injury. Mr.. Wheeler managed
TO hold one Of his assailants until the
police could arrest him.
Police Used Their Clubs.
AS far as known but one man was
killed during the day. The list OF in
jured is much greater than that which
Il is possible 10 obtain. In many cases
the non-union men swung their clubs
with great effect knocking men from
their wagons headlong into the street;
in other instances. when assailed by
mobs. they fired point blank into the
crowds. and 1t is difficult TO see how
the members OF the mob could escape
many broken heads or how all the bull
lets fred during the day should have
gore wide.
