and Baby Mike are progressing
nicely while Papa Mike will be re-

REJECT OFFER OF COMPANY
Street Car Strike at Chicago AGAIN .
Possibility,

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Rejection by the
North and West Side Street Car Mems
union of the proposed wage schedule
offered by President Roach of the Chi
cago Railways company again brings
within the range of possibility strike
of all street car men of this city. An
amicable settlement of the dispute,
however, is still hoped for and these
hopes are based to a great extent on
the efforts which will probably be
made by President William Mahon of
the International Street Car Mems
union, who is expected here to take
charge of the situation.
Possibility of a strike prompted Act
ing Chief of Police Schuettler to issue
an order instructing commanding Off
GERS to cancel all applications of po-
licemen fer furloughs and also to
learn the whereabouts of all police
men now on furloughs so that they
may be summoned for duty in the
event of walkout of the street car

Six Dead and Ten Others MOT:
tally Wounded.
WILD time At M'KEES ROCKS
Trouble Follows Attack on State
Constabu|ary.

Ptttsburg, Aug. 23.-Following one
OF the most fatal and desperate strike
riots experienced in the vicinity of
Pittsburg in over score of years a
quiet but tense situation prevails at
McKees Rocks, the scene of terroriz-
ing conflict between state, county and
special police and striking employees
Of the Pressed Steel Car company.
Although twenty-four hours have
passed an accurate list of the casual
ties is still unobtainable. Unof1icially,
however, six were known to have been
shot to death and two others believed
to have been killed, but carried away
in the confusion; dozen men, both
strikers and police, were in hospitals,
perhaps fatally injured, while at least
two score men, women and children
were suffering from bullet wounds
and injuries inflicted with clubs and
stones. The dead are:
Harry Exler, deputy sheriff; George
Mil]haszer, striker; John L. Williams,
trooper; Anton Gubernet, striker;
John c. Smith, trooper; unidentified
white man, believed to be striker.
OF the probably fatally wounded
three are members Of the state con-
stabulary. the others being strikers or
others participating in the riot.
Among the several score injured ten
are In precarious condition and it is
stated at the hospitals most of them
will succumb before many hours.
Property Loss Also Heavy.
Aside from the human sacrifice
property damage amounted to thou
sands of dollars. Three street cars
were wrecked, many vehicles smashed,
the streets Uttered with window glass,
close to 100 doors of houses broken
and half dozen horses shot to death.
Every one within the strike district
1s being stopped by the police and
thoroughly searched. The possession
Of revolver causes detention in the
box car jails, while those carrying
large sized penknives are relieved of
them and escorted outside the strike
zone.
Orders have been issued to the con-
stabulary, deputy sheriffs and special
police to shoot at the first sign of
trouble. The practice of the past sew
eral weeks, Of firing into the air, was
abolished; the order being "shoot to
KILL"
An investigation shows the rioting
to have been caused by three new
members Of the state constabulary,
who refused to obey the commands of
strikers when ordered from a street
car. These troopers, on their way
from Greensburg, Pa, to the plant,
were in citizens clothes. All were
armed. For weeks the strikers have
been holding up street cars and order
ing the occupants Of them out. Here
tofore all have obeyed. However, the
three troopers and a deputy sheriff,
all being armed, refused to be ordered
about by the strikers. They resisted
and battle ensued.
