the reins in their hands, 36 meat -wagons
entered the main gate of the Union Stock
Yards tonight, amid a shower of stones,
tricks bottles and sticks. The wagons,
guarded by five police wagons filled with
bluecoats and two omnibuses crowded to
fullest capacity with policemen were
on the return from a delivery of supplies
to downtown provision houses, after one
of the fiercest days in the strike of the
packers' teamsters. Many of the drivers
and officials at the packing houses were
cut and bruised from head to foot. The
police were in even worse condition. The
wagon drivers had been working from 5
o'clock in the morning, and the progress
from the stockyards to the city's business
district, and back again, had been con
tested by mobs of strike sympathizers.
At the very entrance to the stockyards
tonight, after all seeming danger had
passed, George June, an employe of the
Anglo-American Packing Company, was
struck with a baseball bat and knocked
from his wagon seat. He was picked up
unconscious and it Is believed may die.
Many others were struck at the same
time by a shower of stones, but the police
were too worn out to offer resistance.
More than a dozen battles were fought
during the day between rioters and the
police and the hospitals tonight are over
crowded with the Injured. The fiercest
battle of the day took place this after
noon at Sixteenth street and Michigan
avenue. The rioters stood on the viaduct
and hurled rocks at the meat wagons
passing underneath. The mob was th6
most formidable in numbers and in dar
ing of any of the crowds that gathered
during the day. Before this mob could
be dispersed, the police were compelled
to use revolvers. More than fifty shots
were fired, bullets passing over the heads
of the crowds, which finally became
frightened and scattered, but not until
many of the rioters and policemen had
suffered serious Injuries.
Following is a partial list of wounded:
Edward Schlman. Swift & Co., driver,
hit in the head with a rock, serious; Miss
Carrie Schownaid, knocked down by
horses and trampled, serious; John J.
McGuire, policeman, hit on the head with
a horseshoe, badly hurt; John Llnencur
jal, policeman: Joseph Billings, clubbed
by police In Harrison street, serious;
Nicholas Caully, driver for a brewery
company, struck policeman Curry and
was subsequently beaten and arrested by
that officer; Policeman Curry, badly
bruised; Albert Wagner, driver, beaten on
head with club and sent to hospital, se
rious; John Monahan, said to be a union
teamster, clubbed and badly hurt; John
Johnson, driver, hit with brick, serious;
Charles "Wright, IS years old, skull crush
ed by brick, probably fatal; George Sle
gross, knocked from wagon of Armour &
Co. and badly injured at Randolph and
Clark streets; E. L. Lewis, driver, hit
with horseshoe, may die; M. Happard,
wholesale salesman for Swift & Co., hit
on head by brick, serious. It is estimated
that the total number of injured is be
tween 100 and 150.
Trouble Begnn Early.
The trouble began early when a
wagon belonging to ex-Alderman Dud
dleston, driven by a, non-union man,
tried to land a load of hams and
bacon at the station of the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad. A crowd of
toughs and strike sympathizers over
turned the wagon and stole the meat.
The driver, after belaboring some of his
assailants with a club, ran, and when a
patrol wagon full 'of policemen, with a
number of officers on foot, arrived, the
crowd scattered.
A pitched battle occurred between a
crowd of negroes. Imported from St.
Louis to take the places of the striking
yard teamsters, and toughs and strikers,
at Forty-fifth and Central avenue, today,
in which six negroes were badly Injured,
two possibly mortally. The substitutes
were driving wagons when they were as
saulted. Many of their assailants were
armed with ice picks, and in the fight
the negroes were badly lacerated by those
weapons. One man had his thigh broken,
and another was injured Internally.
At the stockyards early In the
morning six wagons started, under
the escort . of a patrol and 15 po
licemen, toward the down-town dis
tricts to supply stores with meat. This
train was simply a feeler for a bigger
. caravan, and at 9 o'clock 3G loads of beef.
Interspersed with five busses containing
polfcemen, came out of the stockyards,
amid hoots and cries of derision from the
crowd. It looked not unlike a well
guarded wagon train of some small army.
One of the most serious riots broke out
at Congress and State and Harrison and
State streets. By some maneuver, the
strikers succeeded In dividing the
caravan so that the front of it
lay at Congress street, on State, and the
rear at Harrison. "While the vanguard
battled with a crowd which hurled broken
bottles, stale eggs and other missiles, in
cluding spools of thread thrown by wom
en sympathizers in the crowd, the rear
guard was called upon to defend itself
against a more serious attack.
At this place, the mob made a desper
ate assault on the drivers, but was com
pelled to turn Its attention to the police,
who came up on the run. Twice the blue
coats hurled themselves against the In
furiated men, and twice they were re
buffed and crowded back. "It was the most
desperate clash the police have had with
citizens In years. In several Instances the
strikers and their sympathizers took clubs
from policemen and used them against
their owners.
Meanwhile several men had gained a po
sition of advantage on the elevated loop,
from which they fired missiles at the offi
cers. In -this way Officer John McGuire
was hit on the head with a horseshoe and
so seriously injured that he had to be
taken to a hospital. Officer John Linen
curjal Vas less seriously hurt. Gus Bil
lings, one of the crowd, was clubbed Into
insensibility by the police, and he, too,
was taken to a hospital In a serious con
dition. After the two ineffectual rushes at the
crowd mentioned, the police managed to
organize themselves In better shape, and
for the third time, rushed the mob. This
time they were successful. A number of
heads were hit, but their owners In most
cases escaped. Several arrests were made.
It was- Impossible to obtain anything like
complete lists of the Injured. The cara
van, after 20 minutes delay, began to
move, but not in peace, for the orowd
followed closely. The police, however,
walked by the wagons, and for a time
confined their efforts to pulling from tho
wagons men wholtried to climb .Into the
seats, presumably to pull down the driv
ers. Police Lost Their Tempers.
From windows along the route- missiles
were flung at them. At every street cor
ner teamsters In sympathy with the strik
ers so managed their wagons as to bring
about a blockade. "With the continued
opposition of the bombardment, tho block
ing and the Jeers all stirring them, the
police loat their tempers and clubbed with
apparent Indiscrimination. It was said
that several women and boys, and one
helpless cripple received blows from the
batons of the police. The streets through
which the caravan passed by noon had
become a perfect maelstrom of surging,
excited humanity.
The slow, persistent progress of the
meat wagons acted as a gond to the
temper of the crowd. Patrol wagons
were kept busy rushing to the various
lockups with prisoners; ambulances hur
ried to the nearest hospitals where heads
could be sewed up, but this did not lessen
the resistance of the strikers or their
sympathizers. The sight of new arrests
and of newly-cracked skulls only whetted
their appetites.
An incident of the fights was the mash
ing of an-automobile In which were
seated two women. The occupants were

SPEAKER OF
NEXT OREGON
LEGISLATURE
EALEM, June . Frank Davey,
of this city, who was last Monday
elected to a feat 'fn lb lower housa
of the Legislature,' has announced
himself as ah alrant " for the
Speakership. He received the high
est vote of any of the Legislative
candidates. Davey is & well-known
newspaper man. and as such has
had much to do with Legislative
work. He was Assistant Chief
Clerk of the lower house In 1S91,
and served as Reading Clerk In the
Senate during part of the session of
1690. His friends will urge in be
half of his selection for the Speaker
ship that he Is experienced In pre
siding over public meetings, and,
since Marlon County has no state
officer, it should be given some rec
ognition in the organization of tht
Legislature.
i..
so frightened by the riot about them that
they were at the point of fainting when
policemen rescued them. "While passing
under the elevated loops, the caravan was
endangered by trolley wires, which had
been cut from their fastenings and hung
down to the pavement. No 'one was hurt,
however, from this cause.
Business on State street was In a state
of barricade for several hours. Pickets
for the strikers persuaded some sympa
thetic drivers to drive Into the thorough
fare in order to check the advanoe of the
meat wagons; 'At Madison and State
streets, the volley of eggs, bricks, etc,
became so thick and the street so con
gested that the police were forced to
charge upon the crowd. Sympathizers In
wagon loads tried to drive Into the squads
of police and many people were slightly
Injured in the fracas. One old man had
his arm broken by a blow from a police
man's club. "Women nnd children were
panic-stricken and fled crying into side
streets.
At Randolph and Clark streets, the mob
which was preceding and folowlng the
meat caravan, became riotous again. From
a coal wagon and from standing produce
wagons the crowd seized missiles and
pelted the drivers of the packing-house
wagons. Here the police charged the
crowd again, driving them from the
streets and doorways Into side streets. At
Fifth avenue, near Madison, three coal
wagons attempted to blockade the streets
again. One teamster drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot any one who touched
his horses. The police pulled his team
aside, however, but the driver was not ar
rested. Blockade by Sympathizers.
The cavalcade had scarcely broken
through the coal wagons on Fifth ave
nue, when a more serious blockade fol
lowed a few yards further south on Mad
ison street. A number of vehicles driven
by men, probably in league with the
strikers, had blockaded the street and
tied up the street-car lines running
through' the Intersection. In the Jam was
a bus loaded with boyr. The boys
climbed out of their vehicle only to meet
the onrushing police, and many of them
were clubbed to a chorus of ' shame"
from the spectators.
Occasionally bottles and stones were
thrown from windows, but generally they
hit Innocent bystanders. One of them
struck a horse and knocked him sinselees.
There was one humorous feature to the
otherwise 6erioug situation. A wagon con
taining a live calf was broken Into during
tho absence of the police from that por
tion of the caravan and the bewildered
animal was taken away amid applause.
Later the blockade at Fifth avenue and
Madison streets was broken by a deter
mined rush by the police.
The police were forced to resort to the
use of their revolvers again as the cara
van, of wagons reached Sixteenth street
and Michigan avenue on its way back to
the stockyards. As the wagons drew un
der the railway viaduct of the St. Charles
Air Line, a shower of missiles flew down
upon the teamsters. Fifty ehots were
flred by th,e police to cow the rioters into
order. No one was reported injured by
the firing. Six of the empty wagons that
had become separated from the main
caravan were halted at Thirty-fifth street
and Grand Boulevard until -reinforcements
of police could be obtained from the Stan-ton-avenue
station, before going on to tho
stockyards, where trouble was 'expected.
First Shot of the Dny.
On Fifth avenue between Adams and
Monroe streets the first shot of the day
was fired, and it gave rise to the report
that the police had flred upon the mob.
An officer was hit with a pop bottle by a
man standing on a fire-escape ladder. The
officer, unable to reach his assailant any
other way. drew his revolver and fired two
shots. Tne man escaped. The incident,
however, created groat excitement, and
soon one of the worst riots of the day
was in progress.
A dense crowd, attracted by tho shots,
collected, and again missiles flew thick.
Several policemen were hit. A driver
flred at a man In the crowd who had
struck him in the face with a stone. The
bullet grazed the man's cheek and he ran
with blood streaming from his face. The
police arrested the driver.
At Qulncy street and Fifth avenue, while
there were no shots flred, the police wore
again called upon to contend with the
mob. They used their clubs with a vigor
somewhat Impaired by the fatigue of their
long day's fight, but, after making sev
eral arrests, succeeded in moving the cara
van again.
A little further down Fifth avenue Offi
cer Charles Miller flred at a man who had
thrown a stone at him, but the bullet
went wild. As soon as tho cavalcade
reached the alley back of Van Buren
street the police adopted the policy of
firing volleys In tho air to scare the
crowd. About 30 shots were flred.
As the railroad tracks at Fortieth street
and South Park avenue were reached a
few blocks distant, the procession was cut
in two. Seeing this, the mob again took
courage and surged about the wagons.
Bricks were thrown and the police were
compelled to charge the crowds. At the
entrance to the yards a large crowd had
gathered, and when they came in sight
It was a signal for an outbreak. Stones
sticks and mud were thrown at the ap
proaching conveyances, -hut with a final
dash the wagons were landed Inside the
gates and the rioters slowly dispersed,
shouting defiance at the police.
It Is doubtful If the packers win again
try to move their wagons in a big body.
It was though that In this way the police
could better protect them, but today's de
velopments have 6hown the contrary to be
true.
Concerning the reports of Innocent pea,
pie being clubbed. Mayor Harrison said
he doubted the reports, but remarked that
"these are no picnic times. If fears for
personal safety will not keep the people
off the streets where meat wagons are
moving, no proclamation of mine warn
ing them would do any good."
ONE STRIKE IS SETTLED.

BEEF TRUST ENJOINED.
Restraining; Order Issued by Xevr
Vorlc Supreme Court.
ALBANY, N. Y., June 4. Supreme Court
Justice Chester today granted an Injunc
tion restraining certain beef-packing com
panies of the "West from carrying on busi
ness In this state In violation of the Don
nelly anti-trust law. The order was
served on tho representatives of the con
cerns in this city and Troy today, and
will be served on others throughout the
state as quickly as they can be reached.
It was obtained on the affidavit of D. "W.
Meredith, ex-manager of Swift &. Co.
The Injunction Is directed against Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy Pack
ing Company, Hammond Company,
Schwartzchild & Sulzberger Co.. domestic
and foreign corporations, and against
Nelson Morris, Edward Morris and Ira N,
Morris, copartners, carrying on business
as Nelson Morris & Co. Their managers
'and all persons acting for them are re
strained -and enjoined from fixing and
determining, by combining together, the
prices to be charged for meat, and from
agreeing among themselves as to the sup
ply of meat to be brought Into this state
by them, and from acting upon any un
derstanding tending-to diminish such sup
ply, and from fixing or maintaining prices
of their and each other's products by
agreement. They are also enjoined from
acting under any agreement whereby the
price of labor shall be affected or compe
tition therein affected, and also from
maintaining uniform rules for credit to
dealers or fixing uniform prices for cart
age. Attorney-General Davles .asked that the
Injunction be made permanent, and Jus
tice Chester directed that it "continue
until other or further orders of the court."
NEW YORK. June 4. Mr. Well, second
vice-president of the Schwartzchild Com
pany, said he had Just learned. In an
unofficial way, of the granting of the In
junction, but he said it had not been
served on any official of his company.
He denied that It would affect the bus
iness of the firm, as it had not en
tered into any combination to maintain
prices and there was no occasion to
change any of its methods of doing bus
iness. "Our prices are flxed by the price
we pay the farmers," said Mr. Well. "We
are not In business for philanthropy's
sake, and as we pay three cents more to
the farmer, we have to sell at three
cents more. The high prices will be main
tained as long as the demand is greater
than the supply and the farmers keep up
the prices."

asked the court to allow the Schwartz
child & Sulzberger Packing Company to

WATER IN THE MINES
ANTHRACITE PROPERTIES HAVE
BEGUN TO FILL.
New York Board of Trade Will Anlc
President Roosevelt to Appoint a
Commission to Investigate.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 4. More en
gineers, firemen and pumprunners obeyed
the call of the miners' union and struck
today, but In most instances the coal com
pany officials were able to fill the places
of the strikers.
The Assocl&tend Press correspondent
was Informed by a mining official who
has positive information on the subject
that most of the mines in the Schuylkill
region are accumulating water. The
Reading Company's collieries, located In
that region, are tho chief sufferers. The
collieries of the Lehigh Valley Company
and Individual companies in the same ter
ritory are also slowly filling. In the
Hazleton, Wilkesbarre and Scranton dis
tricts the condition Is not so bad, only
one mine here and there showing water.
The Susquehanna Coal Company's col
liery. No. 3, at Nantlcoke, was forced to
shut down Its engines, all the firemen
refusing to go to work. This company
furnishes tho power for the water supply
of Nantlcoke. and unless the engines are
again started the borough will have a
water famine to contend with. There
was a slight fire in the town today, and
as the fire alarm, is sounded by means of
the colliery whistle, there was much
trouble and delay before the volunteer
firemen could be collected to the scene
of the fire. The company, it Is said, will
billow Its mines to fill with water, and
let the borough get its water supply as
best It can.
It was comparatively quiet today In the
Wyoming Valley. There was the usual
gathering of crowds at several collieries
at starting and stopping time, but noth
ing of a serious nature occurred. Some
men were stoned on their way to and
from work and several were thrown into
pools of water. The fear of bodily harm
Is causing more men to quit work thin
are the arguments of the strikers.
President Mitchell was kept busy all
day at his headquarters. The National
president had no comment to make when
Informed that the New York Board of
Trade had decided to ask President Roose
velt to take steps to end the great strug
gle. A systematic boycott of all persons and
establishments that In any way supply the
wants of nonunion men has been inaugu
rated and Is having its effect In bringing
men out of the mines. Men of all callings,
including bartenders, butchers, grocery
clerks, etc, are organized in the coal re
gion. A nonunion man In most places can
not be serve-), and If he Is, the establish
ment Is Immediately ooycotted. Families
of nonunion men are consequently having
much trouble in buying the necessaries of
life.
President Roosevelt Appealed To.
NEW YORK, June 4. At a meeting of
the Board of Trade and Transportation
today, Oscar L. Strauss presiding, reso
lutions were adopted urging President
Roosevelt to appoint a commissioner to
Investigate the situation In the anthracite
regions and to see if the miners and op
erators could not be Induced to arbitrate
their differences.
Such power, it was declared, was vested
in the chief executive by chapter 1063 of
the Federal Laws, dealing with differences
or controversies which may effect inter
state transportation and commerce.
WASHINGTON, June 4. President
Roosevelt spent some time this afternoon
considering the proposition of 'the New
York Board of Trade and Transporta
tion. It is said that the President has
not decided what actidrf he will take in
response to the suggestion. It Is intimat
ed In official circles that If a commission
er is appointed, the President will look
to Senator Hanna to undertake the task.
Bis: Escort for Non-Union Men.
HAZLETON, Pa., June 4. One thousand
men started from McAdoo, the first stage
of a march to Philadelphia, with two non
union men who arrived In the former
town tonight and were captured by the
strikers. At Silver Brook, two miles
south of here, the men will be turned over
to another large body of miners, who
will proceed with them to Tamaqua,
where they will be taken In charge by
a delegation of Panther Creek Valley
miners, who will march them further
toward their destination.
Imported Men Sent Back.
HAZLETON. Pa., June 4. The 11 im
ported men who were kidnaped at Hazle
brook County by the striking mlnework
ers last night were sent back o Phila
delphia today. District President Duffy
announced that this was the last batch
that would be exported at the expense of
the union. About 300 men from Philadel
phia reached Hazleton on a special train
early today. They will be put to work
around the mines.
STREET-CAR LIXES TIED UP.
General Strike by the Amalgamated
Association of Rhode Island.
NEW YORK, June 4. Every street-car
line in Rhode Island, barring those in
Newport, Woonsocket, in the Scltuatcs
and In Foster, which were Independent
companies, was tied up at midnight, says
a Providence special to the Herald. This
was the result of a decision reached by
Division No. 200 of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street Railway Employes,
at a special meeting.
A 10-hour bill for street railway em
ployes was unanimously adopted by the
General Assembly last Fall. It was to
go into effect last Sunday, On Saturday
the United States Traction Company
posted notices to the effect that the 10
hour act was unconstitutional, and that
it, was the intention to test It In the Su
preme Court.
Division No. 200 yesterday afternoon
sent an ultimatum to the United Traction
Company, which Is about to be con
trolled by a big Philadelphia syndicate.
The demand Included a specific observ
ance of tho 10-hour law; that all em
ployes now receiving more than ?2 25 a
day shall continue to have the same
wages for 10 hours' work: that all others
shall be paid 20 cents an hour for 10 con
secutive hours the first year, and 22
cents an hour thereafter; that all em
ployes other than grlpmen. motormen and
conductors shall not be employed over
nine hours a day, and have the same pay
given them, and that all work of more
than 10 hours shall be at the rate of 25
cents an hour,.
The company refused to grant these
demands.
THE SOCIALIST CAUSE.
Western Labor Union Takes Steps to
Spread It.
DENVER, June 4. The Western Labor
Union Convention today adopted the name
of the American Labor Union for the or
ganlzition, so that its field can be extend
ed throughout the country. The conven
tion also decided to send organizers
through the East for the purpose of build
ing up the union and proselyting among
the people there in the cause of socialism.
It Is hoped that they will be able to en
roll on its membership list those mem
bers of the American Federation of Labor
who have socialistic tendencies. Although
Independent political action has been
agreed upon. President Daniel McDonald
said today that the new party would not
make any nominations for at least another
yeir.
"The campaign which the labor union
will carry on In regard to socialism for
the present will be cducaUonal," said he.

throughout the East."
The per capita tix for women and Jun
ior members was reduced from 10 to 5
cents.
The subjects of socialism and indepen
dent political action were still under dis
cussion today In the convention of the
Western Federation of Miners, but It is
a foregone conclusion that that body will
take similar action to that of the labor
union.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, before leaving
for the East, announced that the Federa
tion would open Western headquarters in
this city.
The miners convention, at a late hour.
Indorsed Socialism by a vote of 230 to 73,
by the adoption of the following:
"Resolved, That we recommend the
adoption of the principles of the Socialist
party platform as outlined In the presi
dent's report; and be It further
"Resolved, That the tenth annual con
vention of the Western Federation of
Miners does declare for a policy of Inde
pendent political action and does advise
and recommend the adoption of the plat
form of the Socialist party of America
by the local unions of the Federation, In
conjunction with a vigorous policy of ed
ucation along the lines of political econ
omy." The convention voted to contribute 5300
to the strike fund of the Denver Building
Trades Council. The convention Is ex
pected to finish Its labors by tomorrow
noon. Little remains to be done except
to elect officers.
THREE MEN SHOT.
Riot Between Strikers nnd Non
Union Men in Illinois Town.
GRANITE CLTY., 111., June 4. A riot
broke out this morning between several
hundred striking molders. and non-union
employes, and as a result three men were
shot. t
The' trouble broke out at 5 A. M.. when
a trainload of employes of the Steel Com
pany, who had not struck, reached Gran
ite City. As the men were proceeding
through a narrow lane to their work In
the mills, they were first threatened by
the strikers and then assailed with stones.

Job Printers' "Wages Rained.
CHICAGO, June 4. For the first time In
20 years the job printers of Chicago will
have their wages raised simultaneously in
all the job-printing shops in the city.
Typographical Union No. 16. to which the
men belong, has always been averse to
strikes, and succeeded in getting the raise
In wages without one. Over 1S0O men will
be benefited by the raise. The printers
have been getting $13 a week for their
work, and demanded $19 SO. This was
given them. They have had one appren
tice to every 10 men.and the employers
have been anxious to cut this down to one
for every five. On this point the two
parties could not agree, and the matter
will be left to arbitration.
The agitation for Increased wages and
fewer apprentices began three weeks ago,
and for the first time In years the word
"strike" was used in the council of the
union. This was agreed upon If the de
mands were not acceded to, and the pro
prietors were told of the fact.

TWO NEW MINISTERS.
Herbert Takes Panncefote's Place,
De OJeda Succeeds D'Arcos.
"WASHINGTON. June 4. Two important
changes in the diplomatic representation
in this city were announced today. Tho
Hon. Michael Herbert succeeds the late
Lord Pauncefoto as British Ambassador
and Senor de OJeda succeeds the Duke
d'Arcos, the Spanish Minister.
Notice of Herbert's appointment came
to the State Department today through
the British Embassy here. At present
Mr. Herbert occupies a place without a
counterpart in the American diplomatic
service. He Is First Secretary of Embas
sy at Paris, but with the rank of Minister
Plenipotentiary. In very few Important
Instances does the British Government
employ an official of high rank In the
office of Secretary of Embassy.
The change In the Spanish Legation
here came as a distinct surprise to all but
the intimate friends of Duke d'Arcos. It
is thought that the change is attributable
entirely to the retiring Minister's desire
to secure the best possible treatment for
his Impaired vision, which has caused him
much and growing concern. Therefore,
he has secured a transfer to the Spanish
Legation at Brussels. Senor de Ojeda,
who succeeded the Duke d'Arcos, comes
to Washington with excellent credentials.
He was Secretary of the Spanish Peace
Commission at Paris, and Is at present
Minister to Tangier.
