Show START BLOODY RIOT CHICAGO GARMENT WORKERS AND POLICE ENGAGE IN MINIATURE BATTLE. One Man Killed and Many Wounded, the Trouble Starting When a Woman Wo-man Strike-breaker Slapped a Picket. I Chicago. The passage of all hops of an immediate settlement of the garment gar-ment workers' strike threw many strikers into a frenzy of despair on Thursday, and the labor war entered the most serious stage of its history. In riots, which began early, one striker was shot and killed, another was probably prob-ably fatally wounded, four' policemen were injured and another striker was hurt. The strikers were shot by the police po-lice in a riot in which the garment workers attacked the bluecoats with "black jacks" of their own construction, construc-tion, heavy pieces of lead with leather thongs as handles. The rioting started when a woman strike-breaker slapped a picket who had seized her. Private detectives interfered in-terfered and policemen went to their assistance. The rioting soon became general. Only one arrest was made. |
