STRIKE IS CAUSE OF 20 RIOT CALLS

Arrests Made But No Serious Disorders in Chicago—Nearly 25,000 Have Now Quit Wort. Chicago, Sept 28.—A score of riot calls which resulted in as many arrests but failed to develop into serious disorders marked the second day of the strike of Chicago garment workers. Union leaders claim that nearly 25,000 Were out and that tnis number would be increased to close to 36,000 by noon tomorrow, hut managers of some of the leading tailoring and clothing establishments of the city declared that not more than 2,000 had quit work and that they had almost this many applicants for the places left vacant. More than thirty clothing houses were affected by the strike tonight. Thirty halls were filled with striking employes all day long and tonight extra police guards were sent to preserve order at the meeting places where, the police feared, rioting might occur.
