PACKES' STRIKE SPREADING
Eight Hundred Men and Women Out
in Kansas City-Four Injured
in a Riot

Kansas City, Sept. 13.TEight hun
dred men and women were besieged
in the Armour packing plant in the
West Bottoms last night by a crowd
of two thousand men and boys, armed
with clubs and bricks. Four men were
injured SO badly they had to have sur
gical treatment, and dozens of others
received black eyes and scalp wounds
from stones and clubs. About twenty
shots were fired, but no one was hit
by bullets SO far as is known. At 9
o'clock, at the request of the Kansas
side police, who had been unable to
handle the rioters, the saloons in the
wet block" and throughout the West
Bottoms were closed and locked.
The strike, which began a week ago
at the Cudahy Packing Company
plant, has spread until last night 5000
men, women, boys and girls were out
of work and the industrial sections of
the West Bottoms and Armourdale
were affected. From the packing
houses it had spread not only to the
soap industry, but to cracker factories
and other industries in no way con-
nected with the one where it origi-
mated There were several calls for
police to check minor disturbances
