with non-union pressmen, stereotyp-
ers, mechanics, wagon drivers and
newsboys working On the same pa
pers. The mailers today are awaiting
action of the printers before determ-
lining what action they will take with
regard to walking out in sympathy
with the men already on strike.
The streets were more quiet today
than any time since the strike began.
Sales Of the papers against which the
strike is being directed increased and
the afternoon papers promised to pub
lish and distribute their regular edi-
tons. Policemen are still on guard
about all down town news stands
which have been seized by the police
and publishers and turned over to
non-union boys.
Policeman Jennings was compelled
to fire three times in the direction OF
crowd of rioters last evening when
a strike sympathizer poured kerosene
into pile of papers On south side
stand and touched match to the pile.
A large crowd Of strike sympathizers
and newspaper employees began a
battle royal and Jennings attempted
to scatter them unaided. His warning
shots were not availing and he sent in
riot calls. Considerable clubbing
scattered the mob. Rotten eggs be-
came effective weapons yesterday in
| the street battles.
The stationing of policemen at a
newsboy's meeting aroused the strike
leaders and today they sent invitations
to Mayor Harrison and Chief Nc
Weeney urging them and every mem.
/ Der of the police force to attend all
| their meetings.
A large number of arrests have beer
made.
President Lynch of the Information
al Typographical union, is in Chicago
and will attend the mass meeting o.
the printers late today. Lynch re
fused to define in any way his posi-
ton as to sympathetic strike when
questioned today. However, before
his departure from indianapolis, ne
declared there would be no sympa
thetic strike of the printers and it is
generally assumed by members of the
striking RATS that If the typo union
joins the strike, 1t will be in defiance
of the order of the international presi
dent.
/ An attack on the Record Herald
building during the early morning
hours was the only thing approaching
a riot up to noon today. Bottles
bricks and other missiles were thrown
through the windows from the Chron
icle building, adjacent. This building
is occupied by number of offices and
when the police finally made theil
way through the building they found
no traces of the brick throwers.

The Board M eetlnu.

The board OF the association met
yesterday afternoon in obedience to
the announcement and transacted
some important business in connection
with the building project.
The subject of establishing a girls
boarding house has been under con-
sideration for some time, but all along
it had been on the line Of placing it
in different location than that oc-
cupied by the regular. association build
Il ing. After a thorough discussion 1t
was decided to include the boarding
house in the new building and make
provision for the accommodation of
twenty-five or thirty girls.
| Besides this a building and an ad-
visory board were appointed as fol-
lows:
Building board-Mrs. Charles S.
Pond, chairman; Mrs. Flora Covell,
Mrs. Anna Robertson, and Messrs.
Jesse e. Baker, H. W. Huiskamp and

association, is planning to go te
Cedar Rapids the first of next week
to look over the newly erected Youns

city. This building will be dedicated

dedicatory ceremonies. She will make
thorough examination of the build
ing and make careful note of all the
new ideas introduced for accommoda

1 the work In the latest and most ap
proved manner.
Mrs. Flora Covell is also planning
| visit to ST. Louis to examine the
fine new building of the association
in that city which is to be dedicated
there May 10. This is probably one
of the most complete and finest
buildings of the kind in the country
and the reports of Miss OHarra ane

A PHILA DELPHIA scribe al the big
games told me an interesting
story about Claude Derrick former
Georgia crack, who has been secur-
ed by the Yankees for next year.
1t seems that Connie Mack let Der
rick go to Baltimore the past sea-
son. where he played Corking ball.
Mack tried to get him back by draft
this fall. but Washington drew him
and then traded him to New York,
The shrewd Mack hung onto Der
rick for two years, but Claud went
to the bad after the Athletics had
made their first Western trip to
Chicago last spring. Mack sold him
to Baltimore, believing he had
reached the end of his career be-
cause of an accident that happened
in the Windy City. But Derrick
soon recovered in Baltimore and
today is considered the best of the
Youngsters drafted by the Majors.
The accident was the result of

and began holding him under the
water First one and then the other
would push him down. Finally he
became exhausted and nearly
drowned. 1t took two physicians
all that night to bring him around.
The shock Derrick suffered was
SO great that he went all to pieces
