shot, one of them probably mortally
wounded and scores of other persons
cut and bruised in a riot of strikers
from the Cudahy packing plant at
Cudahy, near here, late yesterday.
Three companies of the state militia
were ordered to the scene last night.
The outbreak occurred when women
from the office force attempted to
leave the plant and were stoned by
wives Of the strikers When depu-
ties attempted to assist the workers
to safety, the women rioters screamed
for their husbands and when the men
joined the fighting the officers were
helpless under a fusilade of missiles
Each side accuses the other of start
ing the gunfre.
For more than an hour the battle
continued with sporadic firing, but
the crowd finally was dispersed and
order restored.
A number of deputies are among
the injured, one being shot, but not
fatally wounded.
Three bombs were found on th'
veranda of the home of John Schmidt
