FAIR
OPENS, BIGGER
AND BETTER
More Exhibits at Less Cost,
Century of Progress
AdVertiSeS.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, May 26.-The 1884
worlds fair-a panorama of progress
from the four corners of the world
opened today on the shores of blue
Lake Michigan.
It was a carnival of fun and
frivolity for the jaded; a feast of
education and experience for the
ambitious. For seasoning there was
the hope that the 1884 Century of
Progress would prove a powerful
stimulant to national prosperity.
Chicago, with fond recollections
of teeming hotel Hobbies and un-
broken streams of traffic in the
summer of 1888, opened her arms
with fanfare and typical midwestern
hospitality to the second edition Of
the exposition-an edition adver-
tised as new in binding, new in
content and cheaper in price.
Ceremonial After Ceremonial
The fair officially was declared
open at g a. m. but throughout the
day n ceremonial gave way to n
other as the world joined the city
in christening the big show in Chi
cago's front yard. A parade
stretched along historic Michigan
boulevard to the Playground which
extends along the south lake shore
for nearly three miles.
Later President Roosevelt, Mrs.
Roosevelt and Admiral Byrd will
participate by telegraph and radio
in ceremonies turning on the expo
Sition's enormous lighting system;
starting the fountain that is to the
1884 fair what the sky ride was to
the 1888 exposition; and setting off
fireworks JUS as at the county fair
back home.
Figures that stagger imagination
tell the statistical story of the x
position. A total of 43,000,0 900 is
the investment represented, of which
$4,000, 900 is new capital invested to
change the play, the cast and the
setting that is being used in the
same theater that housed last years
production.
Heavy Ford Exhibits
Most of the money came from
American industry, out to sell the
public on the merits of it's product.
The biggest single exhibitor who is
playing to the second year crowds
but wasn't represented in 1888 is
Henry Ford. His eleven-acre project
cost a million and a half dollars.
Many more millions are invested
by General Motors, Chrysler, Nash
and the automobile industry as a
whole.
These projects of business for the
most part will be free to visitors,
except for the 50-cent general adj
mission fee-the same as in 1888.
Heading the list of pay concessions
will be fifteen villages" reproducing
life in foreign countries.
For lighter entertainment a new
midway" has been constructed
where the newer versions of the old
roller coaster thriller idea can be
found. There were night clubs and
there we're dancers but a Little
Egypt" or a sally Rand" had not
emerged.

-
TOLEDO, May 26.-Riot-
ing strikers began a new as
sault on militiamen guarding
the Electric Auto-Lite plant
shortly after noon today and
troops were forced to lay
down the most concentrated
blanket Of tear and knockout
gas yet released.
So dense were the sickening
fumes that patrolman Henry Buck
ley, As, was overcome while on duty
at a nearby street intersection. The
stricken policeman was taken to a
hospital by fellow officers.
The terrific gas bombardment
was released when strikers, Sympa-
thizers and onlookers hurled hun
dreds of bricks and bottles in an at
tempt to rout the military forces
which have protected the embattled
Auto-Lite plant from attacks of
rioters.
Settlement Is Sought
Meanwhile federal mediators met
with union leaders and strove des-
perately to work out a truce which
would end the rioting. They we're
spurred on by frequent rumors that
a general strike might be called by
union workmen sympathetic to the
cause of the automotive strikers.
Consiliators met at noon in the
Commodore hotel to draft a new
proposal to be presented to United
Automotive Workers Union members
at 8 p. m. Present we're Charles P.
Taft, director of Cancellation; Ralph
Lind, executive secretary of the
Cleveland regional labor board; E.

National guard officers investigat-
ed reports that buses coming from
Detroit to Toledo were being halted
en- route.
The officers suspected that strik-
ers we're stopping the BUSES, either
to search for possible strike break

has been arrested before in strike
disputes at the plant.
Unruly crowds around the mill
tary lines increased rapidly after
noon. One group, in particular, be-
deviled the troopers with a constant
barrage of bricks and other missiles.
The group held its ground at the
intersection of Chestnut and Michi-
gan streets, screaming defiance at
the troopers through a haze of gas.
Commanding officers believed more
serious trouble doomed at that point.
Alleged Rioters Arranged
Thirty alleged rioters, seized by
national guardsmen during the
night from the milling mob near
the Auto-Lite plant, were ar
raigned before Municipal Judge
Edgar W. Norris today. Twenty
eight kere charged with rioting,
one with melting to riot, one with
