STRIKER SHOT DEAD

Riot of Garment Workers Results in Bloodshed in Chicago. One unknown man was killed in Chicago one perhaps fatally wounded, a policeman so badly beaten that he had to be taken to a hospital and several other bluecoats and many sympathizers of the striking garment workers clubbed in a riot in an alley near Grand street and Bloomingdale road. Both men shot were striking garment workers and the police reports say they were shot by Detective Sergeant Weinicke. Weinicke was so badly beaten that he was taken to St. Elizabeth hospital. It is believed his skull is fractured.
