 Protected Negro.
 J. D. Schaffer, member of the Exec utive Committee of the Chicago Team owners Association, stood in his door way at 2722, Fifth Avenue, with rifle at his shoulder. and protected an un- known negro strike breaker from mob of more than 1000 of his neigh bors. The beaten, bleeding and plead ing wretch who had rushed into MT. Schaffers parlor for protection had barely escaped with his life in an att tack made on him near the Peabody Coal Company's yard not far away. Police arriving escorted the negro to a street car.
 Another fugitive strike breaker con- cealed himself In the cellar of N. J. Austin, next door to Schaffer's home. The rescue of the second strike breaker when discovered in the cellar was CT fected in a sensational manner. SIX women, including Mrs. Austin. form ing an escort for the man, marched him out of the basement through the jeering mob and to the Wentworth Av- enue car line. The man thanked his rescuers and started north. It Is said that each of the strike breakers were subsequently, beaten severely by strike sympathizers who apparently had been notified by telephone and boarded the cars at points farther along the line.

 The Negro Question.
 l The public temper on the negro ques l ton was extremely bad today anC | promised to grow without any ques
 tion as to the merits or demerits o l the strike. A considerable portion O.
 the members of the Employing Team l ing Association regret that the negro | strike breakers were ever brought in | The greater portion of those who hay,
 been used are said to have proveI wholly incapable. During the last twt
 weeks more than 1000 negroes hav'
 been brought Into the city to aid tht | Employing Teaming Association. Som' | of those have brought their families with them, sufficient to make the ne gro importations into the city amour | to about 1,5O0. The number who hav' already quit the Teaming Association
 through fright at the situation Il placed at 500, a large number of whom are drifting about the streets. It wa said today that the employers had giv
 en notice that no further importation of negroes need be made; that onl!
 white men are needed to take the plac,
 of the strikers.
 Aside from the ineffectiveness O many of the colored men the spectacl of the street procession of hundred of imported negroes armed with heav! hickory sticks and of negro caravan drivers from whose pockets butts O pistols could be seen ostentatiousl! protruding, seemed to have inflame, more than anything else the ordina | rily peaceful side of the city's popula | tIon. This was shown more general! today than any time previous by thu daring with which respectable meI and women howled at the imported colored men. Tells of 'go bacl home," fight a white with white were frequent.
