R R R R e e ee et g T NINE SLAIN IN RIOT. l TERRIBLE RESULT OF MOB’S DE- ¥ FIANCE OF OFFICERS. In West Virginia 230 Workmen Meet Posse Bringing Injunctions with Winchesters and Upen Fire—Nine Killed and Fifteen Wounded. In a desperate battle with Winchesters ! between striking \West Virginia coal | miners and a force of United States dep- ‘ uty marshals Wednesday nine persons were killed and fifteen wounded. l The battle, which occurred at Wright's I coal mine in Raleigh County, resulted when 2350 striking miners attempted to ! prevent 100 federal officers who-had been | specially sworn in to serve them with injunction papers. The posse of deputies was met by the strikers, who were armed with ritles. They defied arrest and warned the officers against any attempt to serve the papers. Then followed their defiance with hostilities, opening fire upon the force of deputies. The deputies responded and the battle raged | furiously for several minutes. Special | Officer Howard Smith of the Chesapeake } and Ohio Railroad was shot in the arm. A striker slipped up on him and fired. Smith dodged the bullet intended for his heart and received it in his arm. He then killed the striker with a pistol. After the posse had repulsed the miners they followed up this advantage and secured the arrest of more than a hundred, who were taken to Beckley under guard. An ugly strike is the cause of the trouble. Most of the mob are foreign€rs.

e e 3 LABOR FAMINE IN THE WES. pi Railroads Are Compelled to Abandon Large Improvements. Because of difficulty, amounting al- | most to an impossibility, in obtaining competent unskilled labor, the western railroads are seriously hampered in their efforts to improve their lines. Officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, for this reason, have abandoned temporarily all contemplated improvements that are not absolutely necessary to the physical well being of the system. Most important of the improvements which will be abandoned is the double tracking of the St. Paul from South Milwaukee to La Crosse, a distance of 197 miles. Os this about .90 miles has already been completed. The same poliey will be pursued in regard to other extensive alterations that were planned. It is understood that the Kansas City extension is so nearly completed that it will not be abandoned. On the contrary, an effort will be made to complete the work as rapidly as possible. The improvements that will be given up call for the expenditure of nearly $3,000,000. The same situation that has so handicapped the St. Paul also confronts the other railroads of the Middle West. The complaint is made that laborers who apply for work in Chicago are little better than tramps, who find it easier to be transported from one place to another as employes for a railroad than to follow the customary mode of travel adopted by the vagrant. After they have reached the desired | goal and have worked for a day or two | they draw their pay and leave. The diffi- | culty in obtaining *laborers has driven | up the wages of this class of workmen | to such a point that railroad operatives | have decided to decrease the demand for ' | labor that the price of this work may 1 dapranca

turde of approximately »=,000,000, and | it is expected that other lines will adopt similar measures. USED 12,639,717 HEAD, That Is Chicago's Consumption of Live Stock Last Year. Chicago’s consumption of live stock in 1902 amounted to 12,539,717 head, according to the December summary of internal commerce just issued by the treas- % ury biireaun of statistics. The receipts at the five leading stockyards of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Joseph during the year were: Cattle, 7,-| 710,550 head; hogs, 15.614,129. The average weight of the 7,805,238 hogs received in Chicago was 220 pounds. The contributions of live stock to- railway traffic at these five markets amounted to 588,245 cars, compared with 622352 cars in 1901, and 582.257 cars in 1900. It would thus seem that the high tide of live stock traffic was reached in 1901. The stock of cut meats at the five mar- | | kets of Chicago, Kansas City, Oninha, | St. Louis and Milwaukee Dec. 31, 1901, amcunted to 269,137,147 pounds. On the | corresponding date of 1902 the stocks were 179,029,100 pounds. x QLS & ENDS ] , OF ,\ ‘ SPoR : The six-day bicyele race in 1002 in!
