CHICAGO, June t0.-This evening,
while Frederick Jones, a negro team
ster, was unloading some lumber at an
uncompleted building at West Twelfth
and Sangamon streets, q mob number
ing 1000 men, women and children,
gathered around him and commenced
to throw stones and other missiles. Po-
licemen Benson and Schempser, who
were guarding the wagon, drew clubs
and attempted to drive back the mob,
but with little effect, both officers be-
ing struck several times with stones.
While the trouble was at its height
John Hince, union teamster, made
his way through the crowd and coming
on Jones while he was STOPPING over
throwing off some lumber, struck him
over the head with an axe, cutting a
cash in his scalp three inches long.
Hince struck n second time, taking off
several fingers of Jones' left hand,
which he raised to protect himself
Hince then attempted to escape, and
officer Benson, who started in pursuit,
was hampered greatly by the crowd,
which tried to shield Hince. Hince was
captured by the officer after a chase
of two squares. The wound of Jones
is serious.
Samuel Rohlston was shot and killed
tonight by Frank Austin. a new col
ored policeman, who was guarding a
wagon owned by Rothschild & Co.
John G. Drscoll, former secretary Of
the Coal Team Owners association,
whose name has figured largely in
charges attributed to ex-President
Young and President Shea of the
teamsters has returned to Chicago
Driscoll said today that he had not
been evading service of subpoenas, but
had been attending to details of busi-
ness in connection with some property
in Idaho.
Driscoll today denied the truth Of
the stories ascribed to Young and
Shea. Driscoll has been mentioned as
having some knowledge of money
transactions alleged to have been con-
ODses''A
or call off strikes. Immediately upon
arrival in Chicago Driscoll got into
communication with the states attor-
ney and asked if it was desired to
serve subpoena to have him appear
before the grand jury. The states at
torney said he would waive the formal
ity If Driscol would come before the
grand jury Monday and appear at
States Attorney Healy's office today
for a. conference. Driscoll agreed to
the two requests.
Poor Outlook for Peace
Peace negotiations between the
teamsters and State street merchants.
either individually or collectively, are
at an end and hereafter meetings for
the purpose of bringing the strike to
close must be arranged through
John V. Farwell, jr., chairman of the
action committee of the Chicago En-
ployers' association.
In view of the repeated declarations
of the employers that no further con-
cessions will be given, an acceptance
in full of what offers may be made
by the employers or a calling off of
the strike were today, according to the
employers, the only avenues by which
the teamsters can get rid of the fight
Declarations by President Shea and
other strike leaders are to the effect
that the demands of the employers
that union buttons must be discarded
and that police protection shall con-
tinue, even If the strike is declared at
an end, never will be accepted.
With these obstacles remaining, the
strike hereafter it is believed, will
consist mainly of a test of endurance
Union officials assert that as long as
sufficient funds are received there will
be no breaks in the ranks of the
strikers.
The council finance committee has
I decided to give the additional police
men employed for strike duty higher
salary than ordinarily is paid regular
policemen in the first few months of
their service. This is a recognition for
the mems willingness to serve at the
present time and because they hold
only temporary positions, with no op-
portunity for promotion. The new men
will be paid $3.50 a day instead Of 81,
which usually is given policemen in the
first stage of their employment.
AS there now are about 14O0 addi-
tional policemen the city must pay $35OO
day in salaries for the temporary
