LowDEN, PROMPTLY CALLED
OUT FOUR Or FIVE COMPANIES
OF THE ILLINOIS NATIONAL
GUARDS TO oUELL IT OR TO
STAMP IT OUT.
w. P. MCCAIN,
The Adjutant General.

The first of this week race riots
broke out in East st. Louis, Illinois,
which was started by some. leaders of
the labor unions from st. Louis, No.,
who very much hated so many Colored
men engaged in working in the mills
and factories in East st. Louis, and
the result was that q number of Col
ored people were beaten up and shot
at and it seems that many White men
were shot by the Colored men and in
order to restore law and order at once
the Hon. Frank o. Lowden rushed four
or Eve companies Of the National
Guards to that city and without much
trouble they stamped out the disorder
and the majority of the Colored men
have resumed their labors in the mills
and factories.
