VIOLENCE IN STRIKE Omaha Nonunion Drivers Are Assaulted. SMALL RIOTS ARE FREQUENT Situation, is More Strained Than Ever, and Businexs Men Intimate Governor "Will Again Be AsUcd to Interfere. OMAHA. May 14. P. G. Maddock. a strike-breaker and a driver for a delivery company, was found this evening under the Tenth-street viaduct In an uncon scious condition. When restored, he saia he had been knocked from his wagon. Over his eye was a deep gash, and his face was badly bruised. His home Is in Pittsburg. The entire police force was called on for extra duty this afternoon, and additional deputies were put In charge of the Chief of Police. The situation seems to be more strained than at any tjme since the strike began, and further trouble Is feared. Attorneys for the Business Men's Association Inti mate that the Governor will again be asked to take a hand, and be asked to send troops to Omaha. A small riot occurred at Seventeenth and Chicago streets late In the afternoon, when a driver was pulled from his wagon, thrown to the ground and badly beaten. The crowd had dispersed when the police arrived. Another driver, protected by a deputy, was taken from his wagon, and the dep uty did not attempt to protect him. In several instances, drivers were stopped, their toams unhitched, and the contents cf wagons strewn on the street, and in one case nearly destroyed. It is re ported also that several drivers abandoned their wagons without cause, leaving the teams hitched to telegraph poles or stand ing In the streets. Chief of Police Donahue has ordered that persons arrested for rioting shall not be released on bond until after their hearing. An attempt was made to secure the release on ball of men arrested to day, but they were refused their liberty. Chief of Police Donahue says a meeting cf teamsters was held last night, at which It was decided to adopt forcible measures today. If necessary. This President Crews, cf the Teamsters Union, denies abso lutely, and says union men have been warned that they will not receive any protection when arrested for violence. GENERAL STRIKE IX SIGHT. Denver Citizens' Alliance Rejects Plan for Arbitration. DENVER. May 14. The Citizens Al liance committee today rejected the pro posal for arbitration of the union men, and a general strike Is now probable. This evening ex-Lleutcnant Governor Coates. chairman of the joint executive committee of organized labor, submitted to the fire and police board the commit tee's response to the communication from the Citizens Alliance. It charges 'the al liance with insincerity, and declares it will receive no further recognition from the labor committee. The general committee of the alliance "met at 10 o'clock today to act upon the arbitration proposal submitted by the ex ecutive committees of the 'unions, which is as follows: "That arbitration committees of five be chosen from the employers and employes directly concerned, these committees' to choose an 11th member, and the finding of such, arbitration committee to be final in all cases." The citizens' alliance committee decided to adhere to Its original proposition for the creation of one general arbitration board, to which, all disputes should bo re ferred. The proposal of the labor unions executive committee to-refer each differ ence to a committee of the employers and employes directly Interested for arbitra tion was rejected, and a resolution was adopted declaring that plan to be "un reasonable, unneceesary and unduly cum bersome." The number of union men now on strike is 24W, the majority being butchers and mcatcuttcrs, cooks, waiters and bakers. Thousands of people are very much inconvenienced by the closing of restaurants, bakeries and butcher shops. Of 9S affiliated unions in the city, nine have already gone on strike, 12 have em powered special committees to call them out, and the remainder will meet within 24 hours to discuss the question of strik ing. Owing to the failure of the committees to reach an agreement the retail grocery clerks and drivers to the number of 500 were called out at noon today. Other unions are to be called out, but whether In relays or all at once is not known. Unions Sccnre Injunctions. DENVER, May 14. The first Injunction, as a result of the labor trdubles here, was issued this afternoon by Judge John L Mulllns, of the District Court, at the in stance of the Joint executlvfl committee of the labor unions against the Citizens' Alliance. It Is practically the same as that Issued by the District Court In Omaha against the business men's organization of that city. It restrains the alliance from threatening or intimidating members of labor unions or its own members; impos ing lines for violation of any agreement not to employ union labor; collecting or paying out money In pursuance of any plan to break up labor unions; attempt ing to bribe union officers or members; Importing nonunion labor, bringing In junction suits against union members In an effort to "break up unions, and in fluencing landlords to evict unions from their meeting places. The Transfer Men's Association gave notUe this afternoon that it would apply to t .e United States Court tomorrow for an injunction against the strikers from Interfering with their business. ALL EMPLOYERS MAY COMBINE. Organization of a National Federa tion Is Probable. NEW YORK, May 14. A National Fed eration of Employers it is expected will be one of the consequences of the move ment begun by employers of labor in the building trades to organize for protective and aggressive purposes against the la bor unions. Telegrams and letters received from Chicago. Philadelphia, Boston and other cities state that the movement in this city is being watched with the keenest Interest and that if it could be shown that unit- of action by employers could be made successful, organizations similar to that in this city would be formed in every large center of population. More than 5000 men. comprising all the employes of the Heckla Iron "Works In Brooklyn, struck today for a reduction of working hours and an increase in wages. By a co-operative system the men received a percentage of the com pany's profits. Vote to Demand Eight-Hour Day.

Employers 3Iake Slight Concenhlons on Doable-Header Proposition, the Cnnse of the Dispute. ST. PAUL, ifay 14. All danger of a strike on the Great Northern Railway system has passed and an amicable agree ment between the company and its train men has been reached, the schedules being signed shortly after 5 o'clock this after noon. Both sides made concessions, al though on the face of the terms of com promise, as stated by A. E. Garretson, the assistant grand conductor of the Order of Railway Conductors, who with Mr. New man, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, has conducted the negotiations, the men have somewhat the better of It. They are granted an Increase of wages which averages 15 per cent; the increase to date from ilarch 1 last; the yardmen get the Chicago-scale, wblch Is 3 cents an hour higher than the St. Paul scale; new men are given increased wages after one year's service, instead of five, as pro posed by the company, and upon the double-header question, which was the cause of the deadlock in the negotiations, the men modified their demands to a- slight degree. East of Mlnot, according to the agreement, the road may run pf 1 per cent of the gross mileage a3 double-headers. On the mountain division west of Mlnot 2 per cent of the gross mileage is allowed to be double-headers. But in com puting, the percentage of double-headers, helper engines must be Included. Mr. Ward, the general manager of the road, la his offer to th,e men. In reply to their demands for a complete abolition of the system of double-heading, proposed to confine It to 3 per cent of the gross mile age, which Is about the present percentage upon this road. He, however, reserved the right to double-head on any part of the system. This offer the men rejected and a complete deadlock in the negotiations ensued and a strike seemed inevitable. The business men of the twin cities, however, undertook to bring the parties together again, and succeeded so well that, as foreshadowed in last night's dispatches an agreement was practically arranged at once, and today's conferences had only to do with considering the details. Mr. Ward retlreU from his offer of 3 per cent double headers and agreed to redistribute the road and confine the bulk of the two-engine trains to the mountain divisions. "With this understanding the men receded from the demands for a compete abolition of the system, and the details of their wage schedule and othermatters at issue were then settled In a manner satisfactory to each side. Mr. Garretson. on behalf of the men. expressed himself as extremely well pleased with the result of tis negotiations. General" Manager Ward refused to make public any statement further than to say everything had been settled in a manner satisfactory to the company. President James J. Hill, who has been making a tour of the Mesaba Range, arrived home shortly after the signing of ,the agreement with the men, and said he was very glad an. arrangement had been reached and a strike averred. OTHER RAILROAD MEX WIS. Chicago &. Northwestern Grants an Increase In Wageii. ST. PAUL, May H. It was reported to day unofficially that the Chicago & North western system had settled with its train men granting the same terms that have been conceded by most of the transconti nental lines. The freight men receive an increase of 15 per cent and the pas senger men an Increase of 12 per cent. Double-headers are to be abolished except on the D'akota Cestral division, on which single engines are unequal to the demand and double-headers are necessary. It was also reported that the Milwaukee trainmen had reached a- similar agree ment with the management of their road, and that the papers are to be signed to morrow. The Great Western's telegraph ope rators and agents came to an understand ing with the road last night and the men's grievance committee has departed. Harriman Joined by Conferees. OMAHA, May 14. E.
