To AUGMENT POLICE FORCE
One thousand men will be added to
the police force tomorrow and will
be put on strike duty as rapidly as
they are reeded. Nine hundred of
them will be placed on State street
alone.
Federal Judge c. c. Kohlsaat at the
request of attorneys representing seven
express companies to-day issued a tenn
porary injunction restraining all per-
sons from interfering with the wagons
of the petitioners or the men employed
upon them
The fighting to-day in the streets
was even more fierce and savage than
that of yesterday. The strikers and
their sympathizers attacked the nom
union men at every opportunity, assail-
ing them with bricks, stones, clubs,
knives and any other weapon upon
which they could lay their hands. The
fighting occurred in the heart of the
business section of the city, men being
shot down within 200 feet of the retail
store of Marshall Field. & Co. and
dubbed nearly to death at the corner
of the Auditorium Hotel in plain view
PEELED te run from the mob to save
their own lives.
PASTOR BADLY BEATEN.
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 then later accused them
of being strike breakers. A notable in
stance OF this kind was that of Rev.
w. K. Wheeler. pastor of the Ninth
Presbyterian Church, who while pass
ing the corner of Desplaines and Ad-
ans streets on his way to the Pennsyl-
vania station was attacked by three
men, who knocked him down and beat
him numerically, until the timely ar
rival of the police saved him from crit
ical injury. Wheeler managed to hold
one Of his assailants until the police
could arrive.
William Miles, a coIored waiter, while
at work in a lunchroom at Adams and
Sangamon streets, half mile from any
former scene of rioting during the
strike, was accused of being strike
breaker, was pounded on the head with
a billy, knocked down and trampled on.
Miles was removed TO the hospital,
where his injuries were pronounced Sc
we're.
LIST OF THE VICTIMS.
AS far as known but one man was
of injured is much greater than the
known list shows. 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.
