Rioting in Chicago Yesterday - Three
Men Badly Injured.

With 300 teamsters on strike in Chicago
last night. with constant accessions to their
number. and with the express determine
ton Of the Employers Association to take
firm stand for the open shop and to
fight the teamsters' union to the bitter end,
Chicago is likely to enter upon one of the
greatest industrial upheavals in her his
tory.
There was rioting in various parts Of the
city yesterday despite the strong guards Of
policemen and the numbers of private de-
tectives hired by the Employers Associa-
ton to protect their wagons. During the
clashes three persons were seriously IN
jured. two OF whom will probably die.
The injured are: Richard Cumming, police
sergeant, run over by an omnibus. driven
by John Ceresa. union driver; Cumming
Will probably die. Samuel Jackson, colored

them has been a commercial success. Mr..
r. II. Purnell OF Rosedale has invented a
harvester which nips off the stalk and
thrashes the boil until the fiber Is separat ted
from IT. but his machine Is useless except
when the crop is entirely ripe. There are
usually three pickings, from two to six
weeks apart, and this harvester cuts the
Stalks down, so that they cannot produce
again.

twenty hands and pick 5000 pounds Of cot
ton a day. If this machine is a success It
will go far toward solving the labor prob
lem down here. for. as have told you. the
planters all over this part of the south
have great difficulty in getting pickers, and
this season from to 10 per cent OF the
crop in the Mississippi delta has been
wasted and still remains unpicked in the
fields
Before the war. In slave times, an ordi-
nary field hand was expected to pick from
250 to 800 pounds of cotton in g. day, ac-
cording to age. skill and strength: and there
were thousands Of pickers who brought IN 400
pounds a day. Today, although the pickers
are paid by quantity and not by tine the
best Of them will not average more than
200 pounds day. and 125 pounds Is con-
sidered good days work. They receive
from so to rs cents per 100 pounds. accord
ing to the condition of the cotton. It is
hard work: a cotton-plcker has to carry
a bag that gets heavier every moment and
has to walk STOPPING constantly, all day
long. 1t is hard as hoeing, and nowadays
the colored people will not pick cotton II
they can get anything else to do. Even IL
they are compelled by their necessities to
go into the fields the most Industrious of
them will not work moro than five days of
the week, and whenever they are paid OF
they will quit and rest as long as thor
money holds out.
Years Of Effort,
Hence the inventive genius Of the cotton
country has been directed for years to try
ing to devise some Improvement upon hui
man hands for gathering the cotton crop.
