Lebert Morris, a sand teamster In the employ of J. L. Wilson, a contractor, liv- ing at 1213 Point Lobos avenue, was as- saulted by strikers.at Eighth and Mission streets Saturday night and badly dis- abled. Morris is a sober, industrious man and has a wife and three children. He states that on Saturday Contractor Wii- son asked him to take the place of a teamster who was ill. Me consented and drove the team that afternoon. When he went downtown during the evening he was assaulted by three men who beat him unmercifully with club: His head was badly cut,” several teet were knocked out, his right eye was se- verely if not permanently injured and he was 5o bruised otherwise that it was nec- essary to send him to the County Hos- pital, where he will remain for two or three weeks. ————— Even the woman who boasts that she earns her own bread and butter likes to have a man treat her to ice cream. PICKETS WITH BARBAROUS WEAPONS e Continued From Third Page. of the City Front Federation. It is the result of this searching that makes the police skeptical. The “result” now ferms an interesting part of the Police Depart- ment’s coliection of the weapons em- ployed by the modern knight of the road, ,by "the up-to-date footpad. The Call to- day produces photographs of a few of these weapons, These weapons were all but two taken from the persons of union pickets on duty. Two of them were picked up by the side of unconscious victims of strik- ers' violence. Some of them are clubs rudely fashioned from billets of wood, some’ are made from gas pipes, some loaded with lead, and all constructed with the same deadly purpose, all of them capable of dealing the death blow to the non-union victim unfortunate enough to come within range. The majority of these deadly weapons were taken from pickets stationed along the water front. When the union forces first commenced using violence the police contented themselves with disarming the pickets. This started the collection. The violence increased, however, and the po- lice adopted more vigorous' tactics. The collection is now large and receives addi- tions every day. One of the weapons, a neatly construct- ed slungshot, was found on the person of Lawrence Larson on August 2. The charge of carrying a concealed weapon was dismissed in the Police Court because Larson declared that he had found it on the street. One of the most villainous of them all consists of a club over one end of which has been forced a ball of hard | rubber. This was used in beating Frank Bulls and J. Rierson on Union street on August 26. Fred Hefferman, a_non-union engineer, was beaten in front of his home at Green and Larkin streets on Septem- ber 7 with still another of the weapons now in the poficercollection. This particu- lar pro-union argument was constructed of two lengths of gas pipe wrapped in a sheet of the San Francisco Examiner. A piece of rubber hose plugged at one end with a peach stone also figures in the collection. One wckel was provided with a two-foot length of steel cable, another with an_ebony ruler suspended to a stout cord. The brass faucet of a beer barrel figures as the foundation for one of the weapons, while table legs, chair legs and other articles of domestic use have been pressed into the service. STRIKERS BREAK HIS ARM. C. A. Poe Still Suffers From Brutal * Beating. C. A. Poe, a racing man lately em- ployed in Costello’s Stables, is at the City and County Hospital. On the evening of the day of his arrival in the city, two weeks ago, he ventured along Howard street alone, idly smoking a cigarette and blissfully unconscious of trouble ahead. He stopped at the corner of Fourth and began to roll another cigarette. A man approached him and surveyed him hastily. Presently he made a sign, and in the next instant a dozen men came rushing upon the scene. Poe looked about him to ascertain the cause of the excitement, when without the slightest warning he was hit on the head with a club. Even as he fell one of his assailants struck his left wrist with a_bludgeon, | snapping it like a pipestem. The ruffians | amused themselves kicking the senseless man, and when help came Poe looked as if he had gone through a threshing ma- chine. He was taken to the hospital, wkhere he will remain for several weeks. His arm is almost useless, and he suffers other injuries which will render his con- valescence extremely slow. Poe cannot | understand why he was attacked, as he had no interest in the strike, one way or the other. He adds that his introduc- tion to San Francisco was not a favorable | one, and that as soon as he is able he will shake the dust of the city from his feet forever. | e FRACTURE HIS ANKLE. Strikers Beat and Cripple Special Policeman Bennett. Joseph Bennett, a special policeman, had a disastrous encounter with strikers three weeks ago. He was escorting a non-union teamster along Brannan street when a crowd of strikers surrounded the truck and began to obstruct the progress | daily and protect the citizens from fur- of the vehicle. Bennett was obliged to get off the truck, and ere he was able | to offer resistancé he was clasped from | behind and thrown down. His revolver | was taken from him and he was beaten | about the head with the weapon. Two of | the strikers then deliberately sprang upon | and broke his right leg near the ankle. | The police arrived at this juncture and | the mob scattered. | Bennett is now at the County Hospltal | with kis limb encased in a plaster of paris cas’ He declines to discuss the incident, fearing he will be attacked again when he gets out. In addition to a broken leg Bennett received three cuts about the head and numerous severe bruises about the bedy. NOSE AND RIBS ARE BROKEN. Strikers Resent Wilber’s Refusal to Accompany Them. The treatment accorded to H. D. Wil- ber, a teamster in the employ of McNab & Smith, on September 9 was brutal n the extreme. He was attacked by eleven men at Sixth and Brannan streets, and | before he was aware of what had hap-| pened his nose was broken, three ribs | fractured, his shoulder dislocated and hi face and back badly cut. Wilber was un- | ccnscious for several hours, and for a | time his recovery was doubtful. He Is | now at the County Hospital, slowly re- covering from the effect of his wounds. On the night in question Wilber was on his way home from the stables, when he | was intercepted by several strikers who ordered him to accompany them to the teamsters’ headquarters. Finding resist- ance was useless, and hoping to meet a policeman en route, he walked with them to the place designated. When they got there, and while they were standing in a hallway, some one said, “Now's the time; give it to him.” Acting on this advice, the men sprang upon Wilber and felled bim to the floor. A blow on the tempie rendered him unconscious, but notwith- standing the helblessness of their victim the brutal assailants kicked him in the side, breaking three ribs. After finishing their cowardly work the strikers deserted the place.. Wilber says he knows one of his assailants and, although he says lit- tle, he is confident that the day of reckon- ing is vot far distant. o HIS JAW BROKENW. George Cahill of San Diego Victim of Footpads. On one of the cots in Ward L at the County Hospital lies George Cahill, a sea- man, suffering from a broken jaw and a dozen wounds about the head and face. Cahill lives in San Diego and is employed on the steamer Santa Rosa. On Sunday a ‘week ago he arrived in this city and went uptown to view the sights. In the vicinity of Mission and Fourth streets he was accosted by four men, one of whom asked him for a light. He was about to comply when he was struck in the face with some blunt instrument, which felled him like an ox in the shambles. The men then took his watch and $20 and made their escape. ‘When Cahill was examined at the hos- pital it was found that his jaw was frac- tured and that he had suffered several lacerations of the scalp. He says he was scarcely aware that a strike was in pro- gress here and that he did not know it was unsafe for strangers to walk about after dark in the section known as south of Market street. Cahill now partakes ex- clusively of liquid refreshment and will continue to do so for some weeks. ATHLETE IS ASSAILED. Alborelli Suffers Injuries That Will Be Permanent. Tony Alborelli, the boxer and bicycle | he could not be called out on strike. This STRIKERS OPE UPON SPECIAL POLICE|f—— Residents in, the D N FIRE anger District-—Mayor Phelan Talks With the Strike Leaders HE resumption of reckless shoot- ing by strikers was the principal feature of the strike situation yes- terday. The assertion by the strike leaders, as well as some public officials and speakers, that the city was in a state of peace and quiet was re- futed in a forceful manner in the danger district south of Market street. Three fusillades that occurred in the morning served to startle residents in the vicinity of the Brotherhood of Teamsters’ head- quarters. Fortunately no one was struck by the flying missiles, but during the shooting a state of terror prevailed among householders in the line of fire. At the corner of Third and Brannan streets, where a crowd had congregated, a striker fired a number of times at a special and_a non-union teamster in the employ of McNab & Smith. The special dgid not hesitate to return the fire, but as | far as is known his builets flew wild. One of the bullets ‘rom the striker's revolver entered the home of Mrs. A. 8. Johnson, who resides at 415 Brannan street, and al- most struck her in the head. When the special officer commenced to fire the strikers fled into some of the neighboring yards. A striker concealed in a lumber yard at Fifth and Brannan streets about 10 o'clock succeeded 4in keeping people in that vicinity in a state of terror for sev- eral minutes. He opened fire on Special Officer Michael Burke, who was guarding a non-union teamster driving a truck for the Overland Transfer Company. The spe- cial officer fired several return shots, but neither his fire nor_that of the concealed striker took any effect. When the police arrived on the scene the striker had dis- appeared. . A gang of strikers yesterday mornin opened fire from a window on Howar street, near First, on Special Officer Ellis and a non-union teamster. None of the shots took effect. Ellis, who is employed by the Overland Transfer Company, was riding on a truck accompanied by the non-union teamster when suddenly a bul- let whizzed past his head. Before he had a chance to draw his revolver six more shots rang out in quick succession. The teamster, becoming frightened, jumped from the truck and disappeared down the street. Ellis returned the fire, but as far as is known none of the attacking party was_hit. As soon as the police learned | of the dastardly attempt to murder Ellis and the teamster a large posse of officers was sent to the scene. They made a thorough search for the murderous strik- ers but failed to find them. Ellis says he recognized one of the men and to-day he intends to swear out a warrant for his arrest. —— MUST PRESERVE PEACE. Coenference of Mayor and Supervisors With Strike Leaders. The action of Chief of Police Sullivan in ordering the police along the water front to strictly enforce the laws and to promptly arrest all violators, be they strikers or otherwise, was the subject of a conference in Mayor Phelan's office yesterday. Those present were the May- or, Supervisors Curtis, Brandenstein, Tobin, Dwyer and Boxton and Messrs. Furuseth, Casey and Rosenberg, leaders of the strike. i Preceding the conference Mayor Phelan was in consultation with the Grand Jury, and the condition of the city as to peace and safety of the public was considered. The Mayor was asked if no steps could be taken to stop the assaults that occur ther harm at the hands of gangs of strik- ers. The Mayor replied that he was to confer with the strike leaders relative to the matter during the day, and further | inquiry along that line was postponed pending the result of the conference. When the party assembled-Mr. Furu- seth said that the conduct of the police was not what it should be if peace was to be restored. It was arbitrary and calcu- lated to rouse the bitter reésentment of the strikers. The Mayor replied that he would inves- tigate the causes of complaint and, if true, would prevent any abuse of author- ity by the police. but he said that so long as violence existed the police must be supported by all good citizens in prevent- ing it. Their plan was to keep the streets safe for those who pass by. He told the leaders that it was an established fact that no man suspected of being a non- union employe was safe on the streets that they were stopped and asked wheth= er they were union men or non-union men, or whether they would give up their work or not, and if the answer was not satisfactory they would receive serious and sometimes mortal injuries. The po- lice were trying to prevent this by the best possible means, and the Mayor asked the leaders of the strike to assist the po- lice in preventing these outrages. After some further discussion the party separated with the understanding that the police would be sustained officially and otherwise. The strike leaders agreed to urge a more conciliatory: policy upon the strikers, although they were of the opin- ion that the recent assaults were the work of hoodlums rather than the rank and file of the strikers themselves. IRON STRIKERS WAVERING. Committee Negotiating for Settle- ment on Nine-Hour Basis. A committee from the boiler-makers, blacksmiths and {ron-ship builders is negotiating with the members of the Metal Trades Association with a view to ending the machinists’ strike. The com- miitee has visited many of the leading employers and requested a conference at which the best terms to be allowed the strikers are to be discussed. Thus far, It is reported, little progress to that end has been made. The managers of the principal iron works decline to discuss the matter on the ground that the developments at this date are such as to prohibit their discussion. They declare that they will agree on only one basis for settlement, namely, a re- sumption of operations according to the schedule in force at the time the strike was Imaugurated. On the other hand, the leaders of the iron strikers assert that no committee has been authorized to negotiate the settle- ment of the strike on any basis whatever. Notwithstanding this sweeping denial, however, it is claimed that the machinists have evinced a desire to accept the nine- hour schedule, and that they are willing to return to work on a basis of nine hours with nine hours’ pay. This the members of the Iron Trades Council emphatically deny, they claiming that the report was circulated by the employers in the hope of causing a break among the machinists. It is known that the executive commis tee of the local union has had the nine- hour proposition under consideration for some time past, but no decisive action has thus far resulted. Many of the striking machinists have declared their willingness to return to work on the basis proposed, but in the absence of officlal recognition of the plan they are powerless to act. The strikers have been out of employment since May 20, and there is great destitu- tion in consequence among ~those =who have families to support. It is generally believed among the iron men that the end of the strike is near, and the situation from the employers’ standpoint, therefore, is full of promise. TEAMSTERS ARE DOUBTFUL. Draymen Claim Union Men Have Re- turned to Work. The developments in the strike of the teamsters yesterday were most encour- aging to the empioyers. It was ascertained that four fruit teamsters, all members of the Brotherhood of Tcamsters, returned to work yesterday, notwithstanding that they were warned that personal violence might follow such a course. It is confidenily expected that seven or elght additional fruit teamsters will re- turn to their teams within a day or two and that a general stampede wiil follow. It is well known that many of the team- sters would return to work were it not for .¢ fear of being waylaid and beaten. —_————— Last Excursion to Buffalo.

Alborelli was working for Hooper & Jennings and was about to enter Erken's stables, on Tenth street, near Folsom, when he was at- tacked. One of the athlete’s assailants struck him on the back of the head with a slung- shot. Six or seven others rushed upon him and one struck him a blow on the left arm with a piece of leadpipe. Albo- relli’s arm_was broken in two places be- low the elbow. He was beaten almost into unconsciousness before his assallants fled. ¥ Alborelli’s wrist is permanently stif- fened, the hearing of his left ear is gone and he is still very weak from the inju- ries he received o T T USE HEAVY BLUDGEON. Strikers Cripple Foreman Ryerson and His Assistant. The brutal assault which was made on Isaac Ryerson, foreman of the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, is a striking illus- tration of the fact that the strikers exer- cise little discrimination in selecting their victims. Ryerson, as foreman of an iron works, was ineligible to become a member of the Machinists’ Union, and therefore fact, however. did not prevent the strik ers from waylaying him and forcing him to undergo the most fiendish torture. Ryerson, accompanied by Frank Bollo, assistant foreman of the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, after finishing their day's work boarded a Union street car on August 26 to g0 to their homes. At the corner of Buchanan and Union streets Bollo got off the car. Four men, who had evidently been following Ryerson and Bollo, jumped to the ground with him, They' immediately set upon Bollo and throwing him to the ground proceeded to beat him unmercifully about the head. In beating Bollo the strikers employed a bludgeon, which had been prepared for the occasion. This weapon, which is now in possession of the police, resembles the leg of a chair with a hard rubber pad cov- ering over one end, held in place by an iron spike. Although Bollo is a hardy | athlete and did his utmost %o escape pun- | ishment he was struck no less than eight | times with this instrument of torture. Ryerson, on seeing that his friend was absolutely helpless in the hands of his assailants, jumped from the car to go to his assistance, but he also was immedi- ately attacked by three other strikers, who also dismounted from the car. Ryer- son was thrown and the thugs beat him | about the head, either with sharp stones | or brass knuckles, attempting in their brutal torture to blind him. Ryerson was already blind in his left eye and to hide | the defect he wore a glass eve. This the strikers mistook for his perfect eye and | drove the glass sphere into his head. Not | satisfied with this torture they split one of his fingers of his right hand to the bone. As Ryerson did not arrive home at the usual time his wife went to look for him. She found him lying on the sidewalk un- conscious and covered with blood. Al-! though this assault took place several weeks ago the injured man was only yes- terday able to return to work. For almost fifteen vears he has been a machinist in this city, but he was unable to recognize any of his assailants. This leads to the supposition "that they were thugs hired by the strikers for the occasion. Bollo, though not so fiendishly ealt with as Ryerson, was still severely in- jured. Two of his, brothers are members of the striking unions. FOR YOUR! PEDESTRIANS' cellent workmanshi; at $16 50. Special .
