AUTO LICENSES

The 1922 state license automobile
tags have arrived The police de-
partment has received about 5000 of
the tags. They are dark blue with
the letters and numbers finished in
white. This year the tags for trucks
bear the word "truck" beneath the
bottom of the number on the tag. AL
ready many persons have called and
obtained their license tags. Many
Washingtonians now get Virginia IL
ccnses in Alexandria, thereby obiating
the necessity of procuring Maryland
license tag. Licenses also are issued
by the police for any section of Fir-
ginia.

STRIKERS MOB
IN CHICAGO
LEDBY WOMAN
Knocks Down Mounted Of
ficer and Is Placed I'm
der Arrest
FIRE FROM HOMES
Snipers Shoot at Police Reserves
Days Toll is One Shot, Four Badly
Injured

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Rioting was re-
newed in the stockyards' district
here late this afternoon when mobs
OF striking packing house employees
fought police trying to conduct
workers to the gates.
Hundreds of strikers, led by a
woman, fought with mounted police
at Racine Avenue and Eorty-seventh
street, during which one man was
shot and four others so badly in
jured they were taken to hospitals.
The woman leader, identified as
Mrs Annie Sobryo, grabbing a
heavy picket from fence knocked
down the first patrolman of squad
answering a riot call, and urged her
followers on. She was captured and
arrested.
The fighting became general as
soon as the day shift came off, and
hundreds of shots were fired from
windows by snipers. Police answer.
ing calls in this district were met
with a fusilade of bricks and stones.
A hundred women, many OF then.
throwing red pepper, refused to be
dispersed by mounted police who
rode into their midst. One man was
shot in this fighting.
Another riot call was answered
when strikers attempted to wreck
the house of union butcher not on
strike. Every window in the house
was broken before motorcycle
squad of twenty-five police, firing
in the air, dispersed the rioters,
Shipping became so general on
South St. Paul street that Police
Chief Fitzmoris ordered every
house searched for weapons. Scores
Of shotguns, rifles and Tevolvers
were confiscated.
There were fights on every street
in the district and 1900 police were
called to quell the general onslaught
before any semblance of order could
be gained.
The strikers were infuriated by a
temporary injunction against pick
citing granted the packers by Su-
perior Judge Sullivan. and because
this was pay day and strikebrcakers
and nonunion empolyes were re-
ceiving their pay. >,
Every spare policeman in the city
is patrolling the stockyards' dis,
trict. All saloons were ordered
closed.
Reports from st. Paul, where five
companies of National Guardsmen
are preventing disorder, declare
that strikebreakers and nonunioor,
empolyes are returning to work. In
Kansas City, East st. Louis, Fort
Worth Denver. Omaha, and Cedar
Rapids operation is being contin-
ued under difficulty, and with heavy
police guards preventing disorders.
The stockyards district here to-
Jav was filled with police reserves.
More than 200 reserves, armed with
riot guns. were held ready to be
called. Bands of strikers, some OF
them led by women, roamed ABOUT
the streets, and incipient riots were
ouelled by mounted police.
A supply Of tear bombs was also
taken to the district, to be USED
in case of emergency.
The first result of the strike is
higher meat prices for the public
Hog receipts have fallen off more
than 100000 at eleven primal points
- far this week, and many points
50 far this week. and many pack,In!g
noints are shipping hogs into chi
caco, being unable to Kill.

Norfolk.-Decision of Henry Ford
as said to have been announced by
him to establish his principal east
ern assembling and distributing plant
in Norfolk, would mean the employ
ment of probably 10000 persons IN
the Virginia coast city. This would
increase Norfolk's population by 49,
900 or $4,000 1t is not improbable
that Ford's reported plan to put as
sembling facilities in Norfolk IS
prompted primarily by desire to be-
come independent of New York capt.
tai, something that could not be
brought about had he chosen the larg-
er metropolis.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Ex-Marine William a. Redd, Jr.,
is one Of the country's heroes. In the
aftermath of the terrible San An
tonic flood-disaster last September,
a Southern Pacific train was wrecked
from washout on its tracks, near
the city of San Antonio. An east
bound passenger train was running
into the wreck at fifty miles an hour.
1t was necessary to flag this tram
in order to save hundred human
lives. But to do this meant that
someone would have to swim through
a swollen torrent filled with float
ine debris. Volunteers were called
for, and Ex-Marine William A. Redd'
Jr.. answered the call, jumped INTO
the angry waters, swan across Tag
sed the train, swan back, and later
made the trip second time and car
ried aid to the wounded of the wreck
ed train. The Southern Pacific Rail
road Company gave Private kead
money; Secretary DENLY, OF the
Nayy. sent him personal letter Oh
praise; the Ace-High Medal Founda-
tion. Of New York, has just award
ed him it's first Ace-High Medal LOT
heroism. The press Of the country
is giving the deed and the man their
due need of publicity. 1t is the WI
liam A. Redds of this country VINO
are it's pride in times Of peace ana
;ts bulwark in times of war! May
their tribe increase and their shadows
never grow less!

Accomac.-The menhaden fishing
season in the Chesapeake Bay and
Atlantic ocean ended December |,
Many of the fishing steamers operat-
ing from Reedville, Northumberland
county, the center of the fishing in
dustry, have already "cut out" and
others will do so within the next few
days. The fish fertilizer and oil
plants situated along the Chesapeake
Bay employ hundreds Of men and rep
resent an enormous investment. Con-
ditions were such this year that most
of the factory men concluded it would
not be wise to operate the plants the
entire season, which begins the last
Monday in May, according to the Vir-
ginia state law, and many plants did
not begin operation until late in the
season.

Norfolk. on the prepared
grades of soft coal were lowered by
local retailers generally Monday from
SO to S. ton, the cut being due to
open competition among the dealers,
who have heretofore abided by gen
tlemen's agreement to adhere to a set
price. The cut is the second within
two months. During the summer these
grades of soft coal were sold for $12
a ton. Citizens protested greatly
against that price and cooperative So
.ieties were formed to purchase dl-
rect from the mines. The dealers
then lowered the price to $40.

Gowns of lace, over silk or satin, in
