wagons, and cut the harness from the
horses, turning the animals loose in
the streets. The non-union drivers
were threatened, and in many In
stances abandoned their wagons be
fore the Infuriated strikers.
Extra police already have been
called out.
The drivers demand an Increase of
pay. At presont their wages aver
age from $12 to $15 a week. They
demand a uniform wage of $19. The
grievances and demands of the men
were laid before the various store
managers. So far every store has re
fused to grant any concession and a
long, bitter contest Is probable.
Practically every store In Chicago's
enormous retail district Is affected,
and the delivery department of some
of the larger shops already are great
ly crippled.
The managers of the stores asBert
that the men chose this time to strike
as the one) when the stores could least
afford to lose the business, and when
they would grant demands that oth
erwise would be denied- They say
they will not submit to what they call
a "hold up" on the part of the drlv
era and are determined to deny the
demands at any cost. Preparations
are being made to establish a delivery
system. ...
The store managers say they will
deliver their goods to patrons as usu
al, but admit If the strike continues
the task before them will be difficult
The strikers insist that their de
mands are fair, and that they are not
trying to hold up their employers
They say the rate they are asking Is
not exhorbltant. That they are mak
ing It now, they assert, does not mean
that they are endeavoring to hold
up the employers.
The stores at this season always
make unusual demands on the dellv
ery department, and the drivers are
expected to work long hours and do
extra heavy work, .the men say, and
they are justified in making a demand
for an Increase of wages under these
conditions
The union to which the men belong

UV HIGHWAYMEN.
While on bis way to the florist es

Frank Wilson was confronted on
Fifth street near Market street by
two highwaymen, and, after being
beaten almost into Insensibility, was
robbed of $3.
The. robbery occurred at a little af
ter 10 o'clock, as Mr Wilson, who is
employed by Reuf Bros, as night
watchman, was on bis way to take up
the night shift. As he was passing
along Fifth street he observed two
men coming towards him, but paid
no attention to them. Just as he
started to pass them one of them
struck blm a stunning blow on the
head, and they grabbed blm, and
threw blm to the ground. They then
went through bis pockets and took
what money they could find on bis
person $3. They also sought to re
lieve blm of his watch, but were pre
vented, as it was jerkey out of the
robber's band by the watch chain,
and the highwayman, evidently think
ing that it bad fallen to the ground,
searched for it awhile ,and, upon not
finding it, left.
Mr. Wilson reported the case last
night to the police but was able to
give a mere meagre description of the
robbers.
