Order was restored with the first ne
gotiations for settlement and the local
companies OF militia, which had been
called out when the riot situation as
sumed serious aspect, had nothing to
do. The soldiers were quartered at Po-
lice headquarters on Clinton square.
The strike started last Thursday when
2 500 laborers and hod carriers demanded
an increase in wages. They received 26
cents an hour. and asked for an increase
ba sed on a sliding scale from 32 TO 40
cents an hour. The contractors rejected
the demands.
The strikers, mostly foreigners, had
paraded the streets daily, and this morn
ing 500 of them attempted to force
workmen from a structure on the square
in front of the Cathedral of the Immac-
ulate Conception in the heart OF the city.
Fifty policemen and fire company were
rushed to the scene and were greeted
with a volley Of bricks, stones and clubs.
The police. to frighten the strikers, drew
their revolvers and fired into the air.
Rioters continued to charge the officers,
several of whom had sallen with seai7s
opened. Weapons we're then lowered and
the police fired at the strikers injuring a
number and forcing hundreds to flee. The
lpolice took 25 prisoners, 10 OF whom
were hurt, three seriously.
! OF the policemen injured in the battle,
David Tumpowsky received fractured
skull. He was hit with a brick and hrs
condition is serious. The other officers
injured were Patrick Griffin, George Kun
zelman. Jacob Mannheim, Thomas Dris-
coll Jacob Schmidt. Louis Zinsmeister,
Charles Hopkins and Michae! Davis. All
are cut and bruised.
( Giseppi Basta was shot through the
abdomen and his recovery is not ex-
pected. Martin Lull, spectator, was
shot in the shoulder.

Cadin ordered the police to shoot to
kill at the first sign of a riot. Protect
Yourselves and protect property" were
