GARY STEEL STRIKERS
ENGAGE IN A BLOODY
BATTLE WITI I POLICE
Gary, Ind., Oct. 4. Serious
rioting hvoko out late: today
when thousands of steel striker.-,
and others hurled hricks and
stones, fought the police, deputy
sherilTs and city firemen, injur
ing probably score.;. The local
company of militia was notified
by city officials, to be in readi
ness for duty.
The fighting spread virtually
all over the southern part of the
city.
The local hospitals were soon
iilled with the injured, and the
city jail was filled with men ar
rested. The lighting was of such a
lier'-e nature between .-qind, a;
well as between individuals, and
pread so rapidly that it v. ;
feared it would be prolonged. No
.-hots were fired.
The trouble started when
strikers were leaving a union
meeting. Several thousand men
who were at the meeting and
others on the streets were in
volved. The immediate cau.se of the
rioting, the first serious disorder
here since the strike was call"d
for September 22, was the pres
ence of a number of non-strikers
on a street car on their way to
the steel mills to work.
The car was halted at Tenth
avenue by-a passing Michigan
Central train. The strikers be
gan to hoot and jeer the men on
the car, according to the police,
and soon sticks and stones began
to Jly.
A woman and thiee children
were passengers on the car, and
A. Pickson, secretary of the Y.
M. C. A., after the tr.otornmu
and conductor had tied from the
tar. attempted to pacify the
crowd. His words were met by

of his departure for Boston,
King Albert of Belgium tonight
attended a ma.ss meeting of
American war veterans in Madi
son Square Gurdc-n and there re
ceived the plaudits of those who
themselves had fought on the
battle scarred soil of his own

si t in',i" him on the platfoim.
Among the speakers at the
meeting, arranged by the New
York county organization of the
American legion, were Franklin
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of
the navy; Brand Whitlock,
American ambassador to Bel

lant monarch.
The king arrived at the gar
den after attending a dinner giv
en in his honor by Rodman
Wanainaker, chairman of Mayor
Hyhm's committee on welcome
to distinguished guests.
There was a solemn moment
when, after a toast had leen
drunk to the king and three
American cheers given for the
royal visitor, the monarch arose
and proposed a toast to Presi

White Ur.'v.
