FOUR DEAD IN LABOR RIOTS
Louisiana Militia Hurrying to
Scene of Disorder.
tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune

New Orleans, July 7.-Rioting at Gray
bow, La, this Afternoon resulted In the
death Of four men and the serious wound
ing OF four others. The riots were oc-
casioned, Il Is said, when a group Of nom
union men attempted to break up a meet
ing of the Timber Workers Brotherhood.
an organization allied with the Industrial
Workers Of the World.
The speakers were interrupted by jecrs
and hooting, and soon the monotonous
Changing Of stick against an old buzz
saw drowned out the voices A union man,
who became exasperated, struck one OF the
interrupters. This was the signal for q
general fight among the lumber jacks"
and guns were called into play.
The Sheriff was notified and set out from
Lake Charles with the Coroner and a spe-
cial train loaded with militia called out
by Governor Hall.
Efforts to organize the Timber Workers
Brotherhood have been marked with more
or less disturbances for the last fourteen
or fifteen months, and several murders
have been attributed indirectly to troubles
arising out Of the agitation. The mills In
Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas
closed down for long while refusing to
recognize the union, but reopened this
spring.
Organizers were sent into the field at
once from union headquarters. William D..
Haywood was one OF the speakers who
aroused enthusiasm in the lumber camps.
Union men have charged that the men who
attempt to break up their meetings are
hired by the lumber companies. and that
they are In reality gun men" of the once
familiar professional type.
