Then the cry "Shoot them was raised. The crowd ajrain advanced a short distance and pelted stones and other missiles. The twelve officers stood in the centre of the prairie and were sulendid targets for the missiles of the mob. Sergt. Enright was in command, ana under his instructions tbe men were wonderfully cool and stood the storm ot missiles most heroically.

Forttlteen minutes they were kept busy dodging the stones, when the crowd got tired of it and pulled revolvers. It seemed as if the majority of them were armed, and revolvers of every sort flushed in tho sun. A volley was poured into the little band of twelve policemen, the patrol in the meantime standing inside the yards of tiie factory. Occasionally when the rioters got dangerouslv close a volley was fired by tho policemen, but the officers generally-shot to scare and not to kill. They curried themselves throughout the riot in an admirable manner.

One stray shot struck a man about 23 years old named Joseph Vojtik, living at No. 422 West Seventeenth street, where he was taken and will probably die. He was foremost in the crowd and received a shot in tho groin. It was some time before the second wagon- ao earnestly sought to induce to disperse. The assault on the McCormick Reaper Works was not due to any special ill-will felt by the Anarchistic gang against that establishment.

It so happened, unfortunately, that it was about the only large place in that neighborhood that was at work. If any big concern had been running between the point where the mob assembled and tho works in question, that would have been the one to bear the brunt of the attack. It so happened, unfortunately, that the reaper works was the only place where people were busily emraeed, and, consequently, drew the fire of the moo. Had it not beeu for the prompt arrival of tbe police the bloodthirsty gang would probably have taken the lives of a number of peaceable workmen. Sufficient police arrangements have been made for the ut-ure to protect the men, and, doubtless, they will all bo Back at work in a day or two.

They want to work, and are kept from it only by the threats ana violence ef a ruffianly gang. Police and Military Arrangements. A reserve of seventy-five men in uniform was kept at polioe headquarters a.I day, but They refused to work, tbe foreman said yesterday afternoon, because they were evidently afraid of personal violence from the strikers. None of the latter, however, approached the elevator to intimidate them. The sboveiers in Elevator a little east of Elevator and also those in Elevators and quit work, and all the four monster buildlmrs yesterday were idle.

In the Chicago, Burlington Quincy yards, near Elevator there were over 300 cars loaded with grain awaiting resumption of work by the men. The shovelers before quitting work expressed no grievances and demanded no increase or pay. Generally their day's labor is but eigiit hours, and when they work longer hours they are paid extra by the hour. runn'ns a sash, door, and bliud factory at the corner of Morgan and Clayton streets, started work yesterday morning, having given toeir men nine hours' pay lor eight hours' work, which had been accepted by about half of the men. A crowd of the men who were still out, augmented by men from other shops, swooped down on this factory ana interfered with the men at work.

The patrol was sent for and three of tho crowd were arrested, but were ufterwards released. The factory did not reopen the rest of the day. POLITICAL. Hundreds of Tbem Quit Work and Parade the Streets Amid Much Enthusiasm-How the Day Was Spent in Various Parts of the City Where Labor Troubles Exist Concessions Made by the BrewersCity Streets Left Impassable by Dissatisfied Workmen. Between 300 and 400 girls and women were affejted with a malignant form of the eight-hour malady yesterday morning.

An hour before noon a number of them who have been employed in tho tailor shops about Division llas, I cups idon the and Sedgwick streets gathered together, formed into a procession, and marched around to the different establishments, calling on those iale. at work to join them. A number responded by dropping their needles, marching out. and they did nothing but parade. At 11 clock a rumor reached beaaquarters that a mob was joining tne ranks.

As the women marched down Division street they were joined by about 150 men. mainly fellow emnlovs. marching on the Michigan Central freiarbt-house at tbe foot of Michigan avenue. The reserve marched down there, came to parade rest, sent two, or' three men out, who reported that, the mob had gone across uar-agon Amongst the shops first emptied were those of wrought Up to a Frenzy by Anarchistic Harangues They Attack the Employes They Come from ork Two Hundred police Charge the Rabble and Use Their Revolvers Rioter and Policemen Wounded-Arrests Made An Inflammatory Circular Other trouble in the Lumber District. The first serious outbreak of the labor troubles occurred yesterday where The Tkib-css of a few days ago said it would in the lumber district.

There was a collision between tbe police and a frantic mob. whose gjlnns had been aroused by a number of incendiary speeches, and a dozsn people were (not. For several days the professional agitators nave urjred the crowd of idle men to use Tiolence as a means of victory for the laboring men, and, goaded bj- the prospects of starvation maddened and crazed with liquor, and infuriated by the vile utterances or Anarchistic I eches. thev yesterday made an assault 0D McCormick's Reaper Factory. Talk of storming the McCormick works was in-dolired in eariy in the morning, ana some of tte men suggested startling schemes for the destruction of the factory and the neighboring lBmber.yards.

A meeting was called for 3 o'clock on the prairie, corner of Blue Island lfnue and Wood street, for the purpose of receiving reports of the committee who had vis-lied lumber firms. The men who had money in the morning spent it in gettlmr drinks for themselves and friends, and by 1 o'clock they were figoting drunk. At that time men began to gtber at the appointed place, and in half an bour a howling mob of 6,000 or 7,000. rapidly increasing in numbers, occupied the prairie. The speakers addressed the mob from leveral ireight-cars which stood on the railroad tracks about 20 or 300 feet rrom the avenue, lo this part of the city the Anarchistic Younger Nelson and Johnson Lindsten, the employes of which dropped work instanter Kush street bridge, and thon marched back again.

At 2 o'clock tbe report came that the wagon men had ben load of police came to the assistance of the first arrivals, and in tbe meantime aDout seventy-five of the rioters were biazing away at them. They stood behind the houses and the majority discharged their revolvers from the midst of the crowd. Is a wonder that the officers escaped unharmed save several minor cuts with some of the stones. The windows of the northern side of Blue Island avenue were filled with the heads of the tenants, and not even the incessant discbarge of the firearms could Induoe them to withdraw their caputs. A hie, red-faced fellow, who seemed to be the leader, bad a large stick in his band, and every little while advanced somewhat further towards the police than the rest of tbe crowd.

He would shake his fist aud cry out: "Come on, you come on!" Every time ho would advance Sergt. Enright would level his revolver at him. at thesignai given. Tbe ranks were composed of women whose exterior denoted incessant toil, the in many instances worn faces ana This Sale. unable to disperse a crowd which they had been summoned to attend to at the corner of W'abash avenue and Hiver street.

The reserve marched down the hill again, but failintr to find any crowd they broke into two companies and made the parade a success by returning different routes back to the corner of Fifth avenue and Market street, where they joined of the packers present, Mr. Cudahy of Ar mour's packing-house said that the resolutions were merely that each man should conduct his own business as he chose. There was no agreement, he said, to adopt any particular scale of payment. He admitted, however, that no one opposehe payment of ten hours' wages for eight hours' work. The new system takes effect at once.

It is likely that in a short time tho scale of prices will be remodeled. About 3.0U0 men, employed in G. F. Swift J. c.

Hately, R. D. Fowler, John N. Scovell, and Nelson Udom's packing-houses, struck for a decrease in hours and an increase of pay yesterday The strike was unexpected. G.

F. Swift Co. Sunday posted notices in tbe offices giving the men nine hours' pay for eight hours' work, but before the whistles biew tbe notices were torn down. The butchers in Swift's employ on arriving did not know that a strike had been inaugurated, and at once went to work. In the o.d Swift house eighteen head of cattle had been knocked" when fully 500 strikers rushed ia aud compelled tbem to quit work.

Edward Harper and William Mathison were at once appointed a committee to wait on Superintendent Foster, who proposed nine hours' pay for eight hours' work. The committee accepted the proposition and the assembled mob howled its disapproval and demanded ten hours' pay for eight hours' work. Foster tola tne men to consider the proposition, and be at once withdrew. In the C. and D.

house forty-tbre head of cattle were knocked" by the butchers, when the strikers, howlinsr for an increase of pay. entered the place and made tho men desist. The strikers from Swift's, then numbering folly men, rushed to Frederick's Hall, Forty-third street and Ashland avenue, where tboy held a meeting. A member of a itonemian organization having waved a red flag round his head, he was set upon, soundly tbrasbed, and ejected from the hull. A committee was appointed to wait oa Armour's butchers, but got to the packinghouse just in time to see them accept Mr.

Cudacy's proposition. A oonferw ence with Mr. Swift was without result. Eighteen hundred of R. D.

Fowler's men accepted a proposition of nine hours' pay and eight hours' work, ana returned to work. The other small houses held out. It was arranged to discuss the mutter at meetings last night, but about noon Mr. Swift informed the men that he would give ten 'hours' pay for eight hours' work, anc the men accepted the proposition. Nelson Morris followed with a similar proposition, and soon after all tbe men were at work as if nothing happened.

About noon Ben Burley, James Russell, and Patrick Hayes, all strikers, got into a row and were promptly arrested. At South Chicago and Hyde Fark. About 100 common laborers, employed in the blast-furnaces of the North Chicago Rolling -Mills Company at South Chicago, struck work yesterday afternoon, and demanded an advance of 15 cents a day upon $1.25 a day. The demand was granted and the men returned to work, having been out less than twenty minutes. At tho Union Foundry Pullman Car-Wheel Works at East Roseland tbe men worked as usual, the two gauirs who walked out Saturday at the expiration of eight hours having appeared for work.

Committees from Chicago visited the men yesterday, and no good is expected to result from their interference. Some of tbe dock men and iumber-shovers along the Calumet River were working yesterday, about half of the number remaining out. No concession has beeu made by the lumbermen. threadbare olothing bearing evidence of a struggle for an uncomfortable existence. As the procession moved along the girls shouted and sang and laughed in a whirlwind of ex international BreweiR" Maltsters' Union No.

1, John H. McAvoy presiding. The demands of the union and the reply ot the brewers, as published in yesterday's Tribune, were gone over at length and in detail. The brewers conceded the demand that ten hours should constitute a working duy, but mado it four hours Sundays instead of three hours, as demanded. The advance of wages was granted, which amounts to $5 a month.

They agreed not to employ more than one apprentice to every twenty brewers and not to exercise any pressure on their employds in regard to their boarding places. The demand for free beer for all the employes was modified somewhat. The employers limited tbe amount lor each Individual to fifteen glasses a day that is, tne hours for drinkiug were fixed at 6, 9, 11, 2, and 4 with a limit of three glasses every time. Every maltster was given one day off each month. The demand that none but union men be employed was granted, but tbe addition that the union should be recognized as an organization, and that their Controlling Committee should have access to the breweries for the purpose of controlling tbe men, was stricken out.

The last demand, that recommendations of saloonkeepers in regard to the employment of men should not be considered at ail, while the foreman was granted the right to employ and discharge tbe men, was conceded, tbe word "saloonkeeper" being replaced by "outsiders." The only material concessions are the advance of So a month and the employment of union men. All the other concessions imply no change. The committee of the union expressed itself as satisfied with the concessions, and thought the union would adopt the agreement. The principal consideration that induced the brewers to grive in was their fear that the Milwaukee brewers might concede tbe demands of their men first and thus be enabled to import cheap and raise a cry for Milwaukee beer instead of Chicago. The Brewers' and Maltsters' Union No.

1 met at North Side Turner Hall last night. The special committee reported its conference with the Brewers' Association of the afternoon. It was received with cheers and unanimously accepted. The men will continue to work at the conditions agreed on with the employers. The men all expressed satisfaction at the settlement arrived at.

They appointed a committee of three to go to Milwaukee and organize the trade there for the purpose of obtaining similar concessions from the Milwaukee brewers. If the latter refuse to grant their demand it is intended to boycott Milwaukee beer in Chicago. Work Stopped on City Streets. About 100 men employed by the Equitable Gas Company to put in their mains struck Saturday because a demand for ten hours' pay for eight hours' work was not conceded. The strikers were on hand yesterday morning, and most or those on Dearborn street were about to go to work, when one shouted, "Don't do it, boys; if you do, you are gone." All therefore refused to go into the ditch which had been dug.

The company offered to pay the men what they asked if they would fill up the ditch, and some of them threw dirt into a part of it near Madison street aud then knocked off. forces and boldly reviewed the procession of striking sewing irlrls who were marching down uberance that did not lessen with tbe distance traveled. Several hundred men followed the procession, which was led by two tall Bohe ellas, silk. the olu Market square.

Handbills were distributed over the West Side yesterday that attempted to imitate tbe anonymous circulars that preceded the outbreak of some ot the great revolutions of Europe, it was couched in the most rabid language and mysteriously signed Your Brothers."

This almost caused a fight, as the men whose worst passions had been aroused were taxious to bear more of such talk. A reporter for one of the afternoon papers was seen taking notes, and be immediately received several blows, and as be was bustled along a shower of stones was hurled on him. As soon as be had disappeared tbe bloodthirsty crowd turned their attention to the well-dressed men standing on the freight-cars near the factory, and stones were pelted at them until they disappeared.

Consequently these men exerted their influence in behalf of the attack on the men who had accepted the company's terms and who, it was well known, would be dismissed trom work at o'olock.

No effort will be made to fill their places as they were employed in piling and the work is not pressing.

About thirty laborers employed in ditching, by tho Hyde Park Gas Company struck yesterday for eight hours' work and ten hours pay. The demand was refused by the company. There was no particular excitement at Pullman. Probably two-thirds of the cabinetmakers who took a holiday Saturday showed up for work yesterday morning.

Engineer Williams had a conference with Acting Commissioner Purdy in the afternoon, and it resulted iu an agreement that if the company couldn't get men to fill tbe ditches and make tbe streets passable tbe city would do it and charge the expense to the company.

A committee of tho men had a talk w.tti the officers, but no progress has yet been made toward a settlement. Dearborn street, north of Madison, and a good part of Lake street and several other streets downtown are torn up and in an impassable condition. Acting Commissioner Pmdy says they cannot remain so, and if the strike is not ovor in a day or two tne city will put its men to work and fill up the ditches and restore the granit pavement. A Socialist's View of It All. "We are very well satisfied at the progress made," said a leading Socialist.

"This is a big city, and men at work are afraid that eir places may be filled by otbers brought in from the outside. A good many retain their places on that account. They are afraid to come out. Chicago was the best place in the country to start the movement, and we expect it to spread all ovor the country. It is to the interest of the bosses to give in, and they have got to do it.

Wages have been going down for the last five years, and there must be a raise all over. Only a few trades are satisfied with their wages. There will be no trouble unless an attempt is made to fill the places of strikers. The railroads will have to yield. They have too much at stake, and can't afford to be idle.

Assembly No. 1.307 of the Knights of Labor, which is made up of different trades, and is the most radical assembly in Ch cago, will bold a meeting some time this week anu make a strong effort to bring out the English-speaking crowd, who have been holding back awaiting developments, and get tbem to ask for higher wages and eight hours' work." Furniture Men Stand Firm. The Parlor Furniture Manufacturers' Association met yesterday afternoon at the Leland Hotel. Ketcham, Rothschild C. C.

Hol-ton, Copp HareneUer, Keck, Burnham Hansen, and fifteen other firms were represented. The Executive Committee was authorized to take steps for the Importation of non-union upholsterers from other States and from Canada. The men will be paid from $2.50 to $3.50 a day. The association bound itself to furnish any member with financial aid, if necessary, during the strike. The works of the A.

They killed tbe poor wretches, because they, like you, had the courage to disobey the supreme will of your bosses. They killed them, oecause they dared ask for the shortening of the hours of toil. They killed them to show you, Free American that you must be satisfied and contended with whatever your bosses condescend to allow you, or you will get killed! You have for years endured the most abject humiliations; you have for years Buffered unineas-urable Iniquities; you have worked yourself to death: you have endured the pangs ot want and hunger; your Children you have sacrificed to tbe factory-lords In short: You have been miserable and obedient slave all these years: Why? To satisfy the insatiable greed, to nil the coffers of your lazy thieving master?

Think of the beroes whose bloody corpses strew tbe road to progress, to liberty, and to humanity, and strive to become worthy of them." Other Trouble In the District. As soon as possible after the riot at McCormick's commenced word was sent to the Twelfth Street Station and Lieut. Croak with a dozen men in a patrol-wagon hurried to the scene. When within two or three squares of the factory they were met and stopped by a crowd of several men.

Refusing to give way, the order to fire was given to the officers; and. It beltur promptly obeyed, tbe crowd quickly scattered and fled quick-footed in every direction. Whether any were wounded is not known, as the Lieutenant and his force did not stop to investigate, but proceeded rapidly to McCormick's. While the Hinman street patrol-wagon, loaded with Twelfth street officers, was rushing to McCormick's, some one in a crowd standing at Eighteenth street and Centre avenue hurled a missile at tbem.

Larrabee today issued a proclamation on the enforcement of the Prohibition law. He says that since the people at an election June 27. 1882, expressed tuemselves in favor or prohibition and the General Assembly enacted a law in compliance with such expression, and as a very large number of persons are petitioning lor pardons and remissions of fines for offenses committed under the law, he therefore warns all persons engaged in the illegal sale of liquor to desist. He irives notice that willful violators will hereafter have no claim on Executive clemency. He also calls earnestly upon all temperauce societies and other bodies organized tor kindred purposes to exercise new energy in assisting In the enforcement of the iaw.

Priests, ministers, teachers, and the press are especially urged to use their best efforts to enlist the moral forces of tbe State iu the cause. He says: "Let the Judges, attorneys, and other officers ot the courts be painstaking and persistent in enforcing the law, both in letter and in spirit. Let the Sheriffs and peace officers be tearless and vigilant, and let tbe Mayors and all other municipal officers awaken to new zeal In efforts to secure its observance. 1 exhort all citizens to lay aside partisan differences and by determined efforts banish tbe dramshop from Iowa."

Twenty-five carpenters in tne employ of tbe Pullman Company, who have been doing the work on the new Union League Club, demanded eight houis' work for eight hours' pay Saturday morning, and their demand was acceded to. Yesterday morning when tho men were ready to go to work tho foreman informed them that they must eituor work ten hour or draw their pay und quit. The men withdrew in a body, and feel very sore at the manner ia which they have been treated.

About 6:15 o'clock Mayor Harrison tore down the "Black Koad," otherwise Blue Island avenue, below Ashland avenue, and fairly lashed his fiery steed into a foam. His lips were firm set, and he looked neither to the right nor the left, but straight aheau. When he reached tbe McCormick works ne seemed astonished at tbe quiet which prevailed, and the policemen and others standing around were equally amazed to see the Executive in such a state of mind.

The Mayor rode into the yard of the works and looked around, and, after doing this, came out. Then he spied somewhat of a crowd at the corner of Blue Island and Oakiey avenues, and could not resist the temptation to make a speech; but the result was not satisfactory. When he advised them to disperse and not do any rioting they jeered and hooted the good old mm and told him to "go pull down his vest." They were not rioters nor had they been rioting; the men interested in tnat had gone away about 3:50 o'cioca. Finding little comfort here the Mayor turned his steed around and wended his way, not wrathlully but sorrowfully, back to town, followed by various irreverent remarks cast "Eiirtit hours work ten nours pay, was chalked upon a board and posted upon tbe pile of posts.

Stock-Yards Employes Gain Their Point. At a meeting of the packers, held yesterday afternoon at the Pacific, where the leading firms were represented, Samuel Allerton presiding, the question of work ana pay was discussed. All of the representatives agreed that it was expedient to try the experiment of pay-insr the men tne full rate of wages heretofore given for ten hours' work. It had been represented to them that many of tbe workmen at the yards who had been receiving $L75 per day still drew the same wages while working only ten hours. This was one of the chief reasons why the same demand was made upon the packers.

It was therefore announced late in the afternoon at Armour's, Fairbank'a, and other houses that ten hours' wages would be paid. At the meeting at the Grand Pacific a set of resolutions was adopted expressing the sense avnue, the horses laet; that he had seen no reporter aner me Saturday afternoon meeting of hie committee except The Tribune reporter, and that he did not entertain the sentiments attributed to him in tbe objectionable report. He sail that he had too much respect for the lumber-handlers to believe or even think that they would resort to incendiary measures, but he did not blame tho owners of vessels for taking precaution against possible damaee by fire to their vessels, which, in many instances, comprised their all in all. He further denied explicitly that he had any fear cr expectation of violence, and said that be had not Feen Chief Ebersold, and that he did not even know him by sight and heped he would never have any occasion to make his acquaintance officially.
