STRIKING MEN HELD IN READl-

TECTED TEAMS SENT OUT : BY
THE PACKING HOUSES.
. CHICAGO, June 2.-Chicago's police
were given, a strenuous life-pday by
the striking packing house teamster.
Front daylight this morning until long
after dark tonight, the bluecoats were
Tkept lusy dispersing the trouble-makers
who congregated along the streets.
; and In every conceivable manner plac
ed obstacles in .the way of the meat
dealrs-who endeavored to move sup
ply wagons with non-union drivers. In
spite of the strikers and their friends,
thirty-three wagonloada of meat were
delivered from the stockyards to down
town stations.' , - Before the task was
accomplished;, however, aSscore of po
licemen and rioters had been injured,
and fully flftj persons placed under
arrest.1 "Several of the Injured were In
such serious condition that tfey were
taken to the hospitals. Two of the
injure may die. ; ? ., .1-
When the procession' of wagons left
the Vpacklngr house district they were
guarded by 'af heavy detail ofVpollce.
As soon as the wagons emerged lat the
entrance of the yards fully 600 enrag
ed strike sympathizers made a rush to
overturn .the. conveyance. . The police
men drew clubs, and after a , hard
struggle scattered the mob.- A fresh,
stait was made,- but before the wagons
reached the- down town district, the
mob, augmented by hundreds of sym
pathizer, jmadfr another attack- In
tbe fight .that; followed revolvers were
', draw n'.i No perwon wa s shot, 'thj po
lice, instead using their c-lubs ' ' indls
crlmiriately,,,and w dozen or more per
sons were hurt before thejjn,arh couU
be resumed. ' -
When the central, portion of the city1
-was reached the clashes between the
police and the crowd became numerous.
Street' car traffic was an Impossibil
ity, and it was necessary ! for several
squads of police to charge crowds with;
batons before the wagons had teajched'
the various down town houses.
To add to the burdens of the police
department 1300 deliverers and help
ers employed by the State street gen
eral retail merchandise department
stores went on. a strike today. An at
titit. was made to deliver? ''depart
ment store" goods in; down town dis
trict this -afternoon ; with non-union
drivers under police protection, but
so much disorder developed thaj'th
attempt' proved futile. He fore the pro
Jft was abanJoni, -severaX rioters
ww hurt and many arrests made.

I f AFFAIRS IN THE ISLAND.
ROME. June 5. While talking with
the Pope today, Governor Taft.' of the
Philippines, briefly reviewed the ques
tions in the Philippines which require
settlement. He pointed out to his Holi
ness, that a re-adjustment of the rela
tions of the church and state . In the
Islands was not an indication of hos
tility of the United States to the Catho
lic church, but " declared that- such a
re-adjustment was nearly a necessity
under the American Constitution. Gov
ernor -Taft referred to the prosperity
and freedom of . the Roman Catholic
church in the United States, and crteu
these conditions as an assurance that
the ; Vatican had nothing to fear from
an extension of the authority of the
United States over the Philippine Isl
ands. - .' .
The Pontiff expressed the greatest
pride in the ROman Catholic church in
the United States, and intense-interest
in ' the great Republic. . He earnestly
desired to help the American adminis
tration of the Philippines In every pos
sible way. and assured Governor Taft
that the Vatican, would approach all
questions raised in the broadest and
most conciliatory ''spirit. ,

CHICAGO. June 4. Driven by men
covered" with dust and blood, many of
them barely; able f Ktm exhaustion to
hold the reins in their hands, thrrty
slx meat wagons entered th? main gate
of the Union Stockyards tonight, amid
a shower of stones, bricks, bottles and
sticks. The wagons, guarded by five
police wagons filled with blue-coats and
two omnibuses crowded to the1 fullest
capacity with policemen, were on" their
return from the delivery of supplies
to the down town provision houses, af
ter 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, . ; v
The wdgon drivers had been working
from 5 clock In .. the morning, and
their progress (from the stock yards to
the city's business district and back
again, had been contested by mobs of
strike sympathizers. At the very en
trance to the stock yards tonight, after
all seeming danger had passed. George
June, an employe of the Anglo-Ameri
can Packing Company, was struck with
a baseball bat and knocked from his
wagon seat. He was picked up uncon
scious and it is believed may die.
Many ethers were struck at the same
time by a shower of ' stones, but the
police were too worn out to offer resis
tance. , More than a dozen battles were
fought during the day. between the
rioters and the police, and the hospi
tals tonight are overcrowded with, the
injured. - The fiercest battle r the day
took place this afternoon at sixteenth
street, and Michigan avenue." The rio
ters stood on the-viaduct and hurled
rocks at the meat wagons passing un
derneath. Before this mob could be
disperse! the police were compelled to
use their revolvers: More : than fifty
shots were fl red. the .bullets passing
over the heads of the crowds which fin
ally became frightened and scattered,
but not until tnftfiy rioters and police
men had suffered serious i Injuries.
A. conference was held tonight.' be

and the teamsteis. looking- to a settle

The demands of the men in regard to

; THE IRON TRADE ; '
WAS NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECTED
by the strike in penn
1 sylvaniaVurxaces.
CLEVELAND, June f. The Iron
Trade Review says: The strike of
blast furnace workers In the Mahoning
and Shenango Valleys csune on June 1,
according to promise, and la practically
eAnflned to' th merchant furnaces.
Sixteen furnaces are bankei and two
others have taken this opportunity io
make repairs. The dairy capacity of
the 1$ furnaces t about -4100 tons, or
S 'per cent of the total pig Iron pro
duction shown 1n the May, statistics
Two merchant furnaces In the Mahon-
Ing .Valley are stilt In operation. , ;A
yet this Steel Corporation furnaces In
the valleys are active, as In the Shar
on Steel Company's stack . at South
Sharon,' Pa.'
. The strike haa not affected the Pitts
burg district. The companies .whose
men haw gone out have taken . no
steps in the matter, and there will be
no collective handling of the trouble.
In a few cases a. 10 per cent increase
has been offeredL but not accepted. The
demand for elgpt-hour shifts cannot
be met. since the supply of men Is not
more then adequate under the 12-hour
regime. It Is hot unlikely that work
will be resumM" at some of the fur
naces within a week at some advance.
In the Buffalo district a 10 per cni
advance was given -voluntarily last
month .and thU may be the "basis' of
adjustment In th valleys. The United
States Steel Corporation which has
been receiving Iron from more than
half of the Idle furnaces, will have Its
steel works output curtailed by so
much, and the strike will have Ms ef
fect also In shortening the raw mater
ial supply of the rther steel works, a
well as of mills and foundries.
The anthracl .e strike has had no
serious effect on the Iron Industry as
yet, though several Pennsylvania fur
naces have had to bank from time to
time because coke shipments were not
sufficient. -'-. , .. '.,
The pig iron sales of the week have
Included 125,-000 tons of Bessemer to
various Independenf steel companies,
deliveries runn ng from October 1 to
April 1. For t e most part 120 at fur
nace was paid, put for some of the Iron
$20.(0 and as high as $21. The Steel
Corporation Is
expected to buy 15,000
tons for deli vmy In the second quar
ter of 1903, but the negotiations will
not be : put through tmtil the furnace
strike Is over.
