Sailors and Police Clash Over Lake Front Excursion Boats
About five thousand spectators watched Marborimuaster Deane and 75 to 100 police clear excursion boats from the lake front at Van Buren street. The dispute pitted boat owners and syndicate allies against anti monopoly sailors, with injuries on both sides. The Henry syndicate seeks exclusive rights to ferry to Jackson Park for the world’s fair, promising 20 percent of gross receipts and capacity for 15 000 an hour. A large 250 foot pier is planned, prompting Mayor Washburn to action and a federal stance from U S District Attorney Mla christ that dock rights belong to the boats and fights may draw US court involvement.
