RIOTING STRIKERS SHOT AT SOUTH CHICAOO. |m b Badlj Wounded—OCcen Ave Stoned by tbe Mob —Company'• Works Well Guarded —Threaten to Blow Up a MUL Chicago, May B.—Striking employed of the Illinois Steel company and a host of sympathizers began rioting again shortly after 10 o’clock today at Elghtyflfth street and Buffalo avenue, South Chicago, and the scenes of last night’s Moody engagement between rioters and the police were renewed. Several rioters were badly injured; one, Peter Peters, was shot in the head and severely wounded. Policemen were stoned and knocked senseless in the street, and above all the din of the shouting, popping of revolvers and the clanging of the gongs of hastily called police wagons the cries of infuriated foreigners, male and female, calling upon the blueooats to shoot if they wished could be heard. Prompt work by the police and the arrest of five ringleaders terminated the Hot in a very short time. But the police fear that the morning conflict is but the forerunner of desperate fights with the atrikers. In many parts of South Chicago, particularly in Buffalo and Green Bay avenues, the crowds of brooding, muttering strikers are hourly becoming larger and threats are openly made against the police and the steel mill property. Between six hundred and fifty and seven hundred employes of the Illinois Bteel company are at work, according to the figures of Superintendent Walker. These 1 -> are in the plate mill and the open h< 1 mill. Neither mill is dependent u, .» the furnaces and rail mills for material and both will continue to run day and night, unless the the employes are intimidated by rioters.
