Weather con ditions in the Northwest, particularly in North Dakota, Montana and ' north to Winnipeg, have been very unusual during the past 24 hours. There was a heavy fall of wet snow In that section, ranging In .depth 'from six inches to a foot, no tary plows were used on some branches of the Northern Pacific to clear the tracks Ohio and Kingsbury Ftreets by a crowd which pursued them for more than half a mile, raining' stones, bricks and bottles upon the police officers and the drivers. The mob was composed al most entirely of young men and wom en, the latter taking an active part In the rioting and urging the men to further violence. Edward Lash cm, president of the Lashem Teaming Company, was at tacked by a -crowd of union teamsters at Madison and Union streets and fear fully beaten. Lashem was driving- one of his own wagons and was asked to show a union button. Before he was given a chance to explain that he was a teamowner and therefore ineligible as a 'member of the unto he was pulled from his wagon, knocked down and kicked. Among- those seriously injured dur ing the day's rioting are: Edward Lashem, team owner; Edward Johnson, colored porter: Amel Rout, driver; Harry Jamicson, Abraham Brittle, Samuel Ralph, colored teamster; Wil liam Vogt, union teamtetcr; Joseph Johnson, colored teamster; Paul Schaef fer. nonunion teamster. Snerlff Barrett tonight took a more hopeful view of the situation than he had held at any time during the day. He expressed the belief that the crisis of the strike was ovpr and Its backbone broken. "I do not believe that conditions will develop In such a manner that troops will-be found necessary?" said "He. Recruits to Employers' Ranks. The Hide and Leather Association, one of the members or the Tcamowners Association, at a meeting of its officials today, decided to make deliveries to all firms regardless of whether they were involved In the strike or not Thla Arm handles 2.11 the merchandise of the greater number of the drugstores and boot and shoe manufacturers through out the city and, should the teamsters decide to call out the union drivers em ployed by the firm, it would affect 6500 men. At a meeting of the Furniture Man ufacturers' Association this afternoon it was resolved that all teamsters em ployed by the firms represented should make deliveries or bo dis charged. Employers Condemn Police. Tho executive committee of the Em-, ployers' Association has issued a state ment declaring that the police in many cases have not endeavored to sunnrcss rioting, but on the contrary havo shielded strikers guilty of disorderly conduct. The Employers' Association also declares that Mayor Dunne has not performed his duty nor properly handled the police. FIRE IX PEABODY COALYARD Police Say It Was Incendiary, as Firm Fights Union. CHICAGO, May 3. Fire tonight broke out In the coalyard of the Peabody.Coal Company, at the Intersection of Twenty eighth street and the Pennsylvania road. The damage done was but slight, how ever, the total loss being not over f200. The flames were discovered by the engi neer of a passing locomotive, who sound ed the alarm. A large crowd soon gathered, but none of the people would tarn in an alarm through a firebox because of the feeling against the Peabody company, which Is a strong factor in the teamsters' strike. The blaze was seen from a distance by a policeman, who notified the fire depart ment. The police declared that the Arc was caused by an Incendiary, but they had no direct proof to offer of that fact.. Abollinaris JL "THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS" Bottled Only at the AjMlinaris Spring, Neuenahr, Germany, and Only with its Own Natural Gas TWO THOUSAND LAW OFFICERS By Constant A'igHance They Succeed in Reducing Mob Violence. CHICAGO, May 5. Two thousand men constituted the police force available for strike duty today. With this number the police officials expected to guard 1200 wagons a decided increase over yester day's total. Bricks and baseball bats were used with telling effect today in Dearborn street. near Nineteenth, when a score of negroes. an nonunion men. preparing to take out wagons to transfer goods for various es tablishments, were attacked by a mob. Several men were hurt. Harry Jameson, a bystander, whoso head was cut open wlth'R 'baseball bat. will probably die. A squad of police, with swinging clubs, dis posed the rioters, after beating many men over the head. In defiance of Chief O'Nell's order Is sued today that all persons found follow ing wagons owned by the Employers Teaming Company would be arrested, a large crowd surrounded a ciravatr of wagons that conveyed 100 negro drivers and guards from lodging-houses in Cus-tom-House Court to the Peabody Coal Company's yards, at Canal and West Twenty-sixth streets. The 50 police who served as an escort were unable to follow the order regarding arrests, but did suc ceed in forcing the passage of the cara van. A number of bricks were thrown, but did no severe Injury. For possibly the first time since the strike began a caravan of coal wagons manned by nonunion colored teamsters traversed the center of the city today absolutely unmolested. The caravan con sisted of 15 wagons. Not a Jeer was heard as tho wagons moved along the streets. Delivery of goods In the residence dis trict, though much enlarged today, was not all smooth sailing by any means. At Forty-eighth street and St, Lawrenco avenue. 100 persons attempted to assault a nonunion driver. Using a heavy whip desperately upon his assailants and aided by two policemen, the driver saved him self from being beaten, although showered with stones, sticks and tin cans. A pa trol wagonload of police dispersed the crowa, arter making four arrests. Following a walkout of teamsters ot Heath & Mulligan, paint manufacturers, the, drivers of the National Lead Com pany became Involved In the strike. The Lead Company drivers refused to deliver goods to houses under the strikers' ban. Similar instances of relatively minor ad ditions to the Idle thousands continued to be reported. 3Iahon Opposes Street-Car Strike. International President Manon, of the Strcet-Rallway Men's Union, today con tinued his probing Into the street-car company phase of the situation. - Be is hot for a strike. "I don't deny." said he, "that there seems to be considerable sentiment among the rank and file for a strike, a sym pathetic walk-out and tho tlclng up of mo union Traction lines. I have been through a lot of strikes In the last 20 years, and I do not want to sec these men strike. If municipal ownership Is to be installed here, these employes would go In under civil service reciilatlonR. What would It avail them to strike now ana lose the chance for civil service? No, sir; the conductors, grlpmcn and motor men cannot strike on a sympathetic is sue." Mr. Mahon admitted, however, that If the firemen and engineers go out and de liveries of coal by nonunion teamsters continue, the leaders may not be able to hold the Street-Car Employes' Union In check. Aggravating the situation today there was a general report that the. Union Traction Company would make a positive refusal to renew agreements with the union on the basis of a reduced schedule of hours of employment. . As a result of the boycott placed on boycotted department stores, more than -400 clerks are Idle. 3Ioncy to Make Isthmus Healthy. WASHINGTON. May 5.
