CAMPAIGN OF MAIMING. NEW YORK, Nov. 21 Chicago, which is constantly evolving new forms of crime, is to witness the trial this week of two “racketeers”' on a charge connected with maining threats.

Two “racketeers” one of whom was shot by a policeman while attempting to escape confessed yesterday that they had planned to smash all the liones in the hands of dental mechanics whom they considered “scabs.” The “racketeers” were arrested when the offices of the Dental Laboratories Mechanics’ Union was raided. One prisoner proved to be Henry Atties, “president of the union.” The other whom a policeman shot, was a chauffeur and notorious “beer runner” before he became a member of the “rae keteers” who secure their election as trade union officials with the persuasive influence of their guns.
