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.
MILWAUKEE, May 14.-A straight 8
hour day will be demanded on May 1,
1904, by all machinists working in con
tract shops and under the jurisdiction of

road machinists. This was the recom
mendation contained In the report of the

The convention adopted the report.
In the matter of hours the railroad

hour day. The question of wages was !

WILLIAMSPORT. Pa., May 14. Italian

GREAT NORTHERN AVERTS STRIKE
AXD IXRHASES WAGES.
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.
