CHICAGO RACE RIOTS
CAUSE MANY DEATHS
Negroes Storm Armory in Ef-
fort to Obtain Arms and
Ammunition.

Chicago.-Fourteen hundred addit-
ional militiamen reached Chicago to
reinforce the 1920 state troops
already modified in the armories
here. The soldiers were to be used
in the event of renewal of the race
riots that resulted in the death of
over a score of persons and the injury
of hundreds of others.
Several fires, supposedly of incen-
diary origin, occurred in the negro sec
ton of the South Side. Firemen
responding to alarms were met with
showers of bricks, and in some cases
they were shot at.
Scores of homes of both negroes and
whites were burned and looted. BY a
concerted attack the police drove the
rioters from the negro districts. The
police for a time believed they had
succeeded in quelling the mobs, only
to learn that the fighting had been
carried to the downtown section of
the city, where the rioting grew
fiercer as the night wore on.
Every available policeman in the
city was rushed to the scene; former
soldiers were sworn in; the National
Guard and the reserve militia regi-
ments had been called out and We're
being modified; the hospitals were
crowded with victims; the street cars
and the elevated cars had ceased to
run on the south side; telephone wires
were cut; scores of white men and
blacks were under arrest.
Major Frederick Haynes, command
ing a battalion of the LIST Reserve, and
Corporal Williams of Company G of
that unit were among the first casual
ties. Major Haynes, who lives at 4,059
Prairie avenue, was found in front of
1873 Indiana avenue with the back Of
his head crushed and his back broken.
Corporal Williams was shot in the
shoulder by sniper as he was going
toward Eighth Regiment Armory,
where his company was assembling.
At a meeting of the city council
Alderman John Passmore of the police
committee declared that both whites
and colored men in the affected area
must be disarmed if a catastrophe is
TO be averted
Politics is to blame for the race riot
ing is the opinion of States Attorney
MacLayhoyne.

TURKS THREATEN TO
KILL ALL ARMENlANS
Worse Massacre Than in 1915
Is Certain Unless Allies
Act Quickly.

Paris.-Turks and Tartars are NOV
ing upon the Armenians from three
sides. They have cut off the American
relief supplies and threaten all the
remaining Armenians with extermina-
ton unless additional military protec-
tion is afforded according to dis
patches from Major Joseph c. Green
of Cincinnati. who is directing the
American relief administrations work
from Tififs.
Herbert Hoover, Director-General OF
Relief, Immediately submitted Major
Green's message to the Peace Con-
ference, which already had similar re-
ports from other American and British
observers.
Major Green, under date of July %,
sends the following from Titiis:
Had a long conference with the Ar
menian President. The situation is
worse. The Turkish army, well pre-
pared, and Tartars are advancing
from three sides. If military protec-
tion is not afforded to Armenia inn
mediately the disaster will be more
terrible than the massacres in 1913,
and the Armenian nation will be
crushed. to the everlasting shame of
the Allies.
Relief work is impossible in the pres
ent situation unless order is restored.
Cannot something be done to have the
British forces in the Caucasus inter-
vene to save Armenia?
Under date of July 81 Major Green
telegraphs:
The Turks and Tartars are advanc-
ing in the districts of Karabagh and
Alagbez. They now occupy approx
mately the re-opened territory of Rus
sian Armenia. Khalil Bey, a Turkish
Colonel, is commanding the Azerbaijan
Tartars.
Relief depots and trains are sur
sounded and probably have been
seized The British state that orders
from above prevent their interference.
The Armenian people and Government
are in despair General mobilization
was ordered yesterday, taking the men
from the harvest.
We shall not he able TO carry on re-
lief work much longer unless the
British receive orders to clear all Rus
sian Armenia, including Karabagh and
Alagbez of Turkish and Tartar forces.

LABOR ASKS CUT
IN LIVING COSTS
Heads of Brotherhood Appeal to
President Wilson and His
Cabinet.
INQUIRY INTO FOOD PRICES
Profiteerina Laid to Big lnterests-Ex-
ecutive Impressed and Promises
Consideration on Their
Direct Appeal.

Washington. President Wilson has
Just been told that constituencies
profiteering" has produced spirit of
unrest among the working classes, who
no longer can provide adequate food
and shelter for their families. The
entire Advisory Board of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, headed
by their chief, Warren S. Stone, called
on the President and asked him to
take action.
Although only the engineers were
represented at the conferences here, 1t
was intimated that any request on the
part of engineers for increased wages
to meet the increased cost OF living
will be accompanied by similar re-
quests from the other three brother
hoods, the firemen, trainmen and con-
ductors.
There were 16 men in the delegation,
and their mission practically chron-
icles a new era in the industrial life
of the nation.
Briefly, what they said was this:
"Mr President, we do not want an
other increase in wages, for another
increase will simply mean that higher
prices-higher correspondingly than
whatever increase we might receive
will follow for the necessities of life.
What we do want is a decrease in the
cost of living"
Tho President was dpeDly impressed
by the plea of the men, who earlier
had conferred with Walker D. Hines,
director general of railroad, on the
same subject.
1t was announced at the White
House after they had presented their
memorandum that "any action by the
government to remedy the situation
would have the Presidents very seri-
Gus consideration"
Other developments in the fight
against the high cost of living were
as follows:
Representative Igoe, Democrat, of
Missouri, introduced two resolutions
in the house, one asking that the Fed
eral Trade Commission be directed to
begin Immediately an investigation Of
price increases In shoes, sugar, cloth
ing and coffee and the other seeking
an inquiry by the House Ways and
Means Committee into rental profteers
whereby such persons would be penal
lied by their greed by heavy taxa
ton program.
