Chicago, May 26. Rioting broke
out afresh today io the teamsters'
strike and there was a number of
vicious fights in the lumber dis
trict, during whicn tne police were
compelled to use their clubs, and
in one instance revolver?, in order
to disperse the mob. - ,; A;
As erious hgnt toox place at tne
coiner of canal and Madison streets
adjoining the passenger station on
the Pennsylvania railroad. , The
wagon of an express company, al
though protected by a policeman
and a deputy sherifl, was attached
by a large crowd, despite the fact
that it bore on - each side a large
placard declaring that all people
had been enjoined irom mterienng
with the wagon by a Federal. The"
policeman displayed his . revolver,
but the crowd, paying no attention
to him, rushed at the wagon and,
seizing the wheels, attempted to
overturn it. A riot call' brought
from' the Desplaines-atreet police
etatioEkiour. squares distant, a large
force of officers, who dispersed the
crowd and arrested about 40 of. the
most active in the disturbance. The
police also , entered : the" buildings
and warned occupants to keep away
from the windows, threatening with
arrest all who refused. .
The worst fight in the lumber
district occurred at Twenty-second
street and Ashland avenue, where
a crowd of men and boys had all
through the morning hnrled stones
and clubs at every passing lumber
wagon. Finally a wagon which
Ibir Basenskt waflv pas-
eeuger came along ana me- moo
greeted it with the usual volley- of
Btones. -Tt also threatened to &t
tack the driver, and the situation
was so serious that the officer, draw
ing his revolver, fired six shots at
the crowd, which broke and fled in
wild confusion. ;.' None of the bul
ets hit anybody.
This evening general rioting was
prevalent throughout the lumber
distric. and particularly in the
territory near the - intersection of
Thirty-fifth street and Center av
enue. The lumber wagons return
ing from makiDg- deliveries were
attacked by crowds at every avail
able-opportunity. Large numbers
of men, armed with clubs, slung
shots and bricks, r accompanied by
jeering women and excited children,
tilled tne sidewalks along Uenter
avenue. Thirty-fifth street, Loomis
street and Archer avenue, awaiting
the passage of wagons which were
believed by the crowd to be un
guarded.
At Arcner avenue and lioomis
street two trucks appeared, with
one policeman on each. They were
immediately bombarded with bricks
and stones and scores of air rifles
were brought into play. A bullet
from one of these weapons serious
ly wounded Policeman James Fitz
patrick in the hand. The two po
licemen drew their revolvers and
fired over the heads of the rioter-,
holding them at bay until the driv
ers managed to reach their destina
tion at the yards of the Rittenhouse
& Embree Lumber Company.
At 1 hirty-htth and - Morgan
streets 2O lamber and shaving wag
one, 14 of which belong to the Rit-
tennouse & JtLmbree Company, and
guarded by upwards of 4O police,
were attacked by a crowd of more
than 400 stride sympathizers with
bricks, stones and slungshots.
While the police used clubs, the
fight waged indecisively. Finally
the police ,. drew revolvers and
charged the crowd. The sight of
the firearms quickly quieted things,
the mob generally fleeing. No ar
rests were made. At Thirty-fourth
street, near by, police on guard
were later forced indoors- Many of
the etrike sympathizers armed
themselves with- small air rifles
and from lumber piles and build
ings, fired intermittently at the po
lice, a number of whom were struck
without being able to Bee the as
sailants, and were finally forced to
take refuge in offices and other
nearby buildingB. .
The strike- today spread in a
small degree throughout the build
ing trades'. A'There were - a number
of instances where woodworker re
fused to receive the material deliv
ered by nonunion teamstere : and
walked out. f This move in e.very
instance was made, by the men as
individuals pnly; No . official ac
tion was taken by any of the trades
unions ' locking to active sympa
thetic , support of the teamsters'
strike. Sayeral of the labdr lead
ers in the - ranks of the material
trades hav.vdeclared within the
last 24 hours that there is no pros
pect in thi opinion of any com
plete tieup of the building trades
by a strikVcf the men.
At a meeting of the Associated
Building Trades tonight, at which
29 trades affiliated with the build
ing industrj.es were represented, - it
was decided that no action will be
taken which will tend to drag the
building trades into the teamsters's
strike. ThiB action means that the
building trades unions will , work
with materials irrespective of the
fact that they are hauled in wagons
driven by nonunion teamsters.
It was decided at the meeting to
withdraw all the financial and mor
al support that the building trades
unions have been giving the team
sters thus far in the s- Btrike. This
means a loss ' to- the teamsteis of
$1000 a week which they have re
ceived from the building trades un
ions. ' ,--p-'-f v AA;:-:, A-
A committee was 1 appointed to
convey to Presidents- Shea of the
teamsters the action voted by ; the
building trades. The news visibly
affected him, and he replied: ,
I can't believe that this is true.
The building trades worxmen are
too loval to unionism to take this
position. -'' "i'i.'r;;:::'jiH

first tlnii Hse tbe ' commencement
that he .- khew .of no contemplated
plans for peace. The mayor talked
as though he had abandoned hopeB
of a settlement.-; Alderman Dever,
chairman of the city council peace
committee appointed a week ago,
said tonight that he had practical
ly ceased woik, as the committee
could see no avenue in the contro
versy looking toward an adjust
ment of the differences between tbe
teamsteTS and the employers.
In the face of declarations by the
employers that the police depart
ment of the city is absolutely inad
equate to anord protection to prop
erty as a result of conditions brought
about by the strike's spread to the
lumber district, Mayor Dunne an
nounced that mere would be no ne
cessity to call for troops this week
Tbe lumbermen, whose interests
are the latest to be affected, by the
strike, are not so optimistic. They
seem to be living in terror of not
ous uprising in the vast area em
braced by their yards and plants
a district peculiarly inviting to in
cendiarism.; Fearing trouble in the
lumber district the Mayor instruct
ed Chief of Police O'Niel to close
all saloons there between the hours
of 1 and 7 p.. m., 4n caseB where
crowds were permitted to gather in
side or outside the premises.
In preparation fur a protracted
stiike siege the teamsters' joint
council has arranged to send agents
to all parts of the country for tbe
purpose of gathering funds. It is
the ambition of the strike leaders
to raise $1,000,000 by July 1. So
licitors will probably start from
Chicago next week on this mission.
They will visit every local union
in the United States, and in addi
Hon financial assistance will strive
to . arouse organized labor every
where to sympathize with the pres
ent struggle. 1
The drivers on strike now receive
$10 a week. The Express drivers'
Union has arranged according to
the officials to pay its 9oo members
$12 weekly If sufficient funds can
be raised, the benefits paid to other
strikers will be increased in propor
tion. Significant of the probable

!: Cuban Diarrhoea.
U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish war know what this dis
ease is, and that ordinary remedies have '
little more effect than so much water.
Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous as a mild attack of cholera.
There is one remedy, however, that can
alwavs be depended upon as will be Been
by the following certificate from Mrs.:
Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: ' "I
hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and' Diarrheea Remedy cured
my husband of a severe attack of Cuban
Diarrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. : We had several doctors but they
did him no good. One bottle of this rem
edy cured him, as our neighbors will tes
tify I thank God for so valuable a med
icine." Jfor sale by Graham at Wortnam.

"The new law abolishes all dis

faith of the Americans residing in
Russia, and will bring about the re
turn of 500,000 naturalized Jews
who emigrated on account of relig

They will return home because the
