WHOLE LOT OF TALK
BUT NOT MUCH DOING
Is the Story of the Chicago Strike--ColIege Pro
tessors and Others Are Willing to Listen
to Troubles

Chicago, May S.-The committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Dunno 20 investi-
gate the charges that certain men,
bers of the teamsters association hal
attempted to extort blackmail from
employers formally organized today in
the city hall The commission is COM
posed of Professor Graham Taylor
Chicago Commons; T. X. Webster
manufacturer, Evanston and VIM. c
Boyden, lawyer. After they had al
lowed themselves to be photographed
the committee appointed Prof. Tay'
lor chairman and issued statement
that they would hold daily meetings
at the city hall. They would not, they
explained, instruct any one, employe
or employer, to appear before them
Men must come here voluntarily
said one of the members, "and we will
put certain questions to them"
1t will depend upon the report of
this committee to the mayor, whether
or not the charges of graft" are
sustained and whether or not the mat
ter will be presented to the grand
jury.
While the committee was organiz-
ing, many labor leaders were in an
ante-room, expecting that witnesses
would be examined today. They
seemed disappointed when they learn
ed that this was not in accordance
with the plans of the commission.
President Shea, of the International
Transfers Union said: 1--WE well
come this investigation and we are
certain that we will be vindicated by
it's outcome. There has been no at
tempt at blackmail on our part-such
stories were made public by the EN-.
ployers to injure our cause. We are
here willing to answer all the ques-
tions put to us and you may be sure
we will come out on the right side of
the ledger"
The Employers association was not
represented outside the committee
room, but It was said that at tomor-
rows meeting certain members would
be present and give testimony impli-
eating the strikers. Just who would
be named by the employers, no one
could be prevailed upon to state.
The committee will also investigate

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Boiler of Peanut Roaster Lets co,
Wrecking Alliance store.

Alliance, May S.--A terrific explosion
occurred in the d. G. Cow store here
today, the boiler of the peanut roaster
letting loose with terrific force. The
front of the store was wrecked and the
glass was broken out of the delicates-
sen restaurant, and much other dam
age was done.
Godfrey Overli of Minnesota. who
was passing the building at the time,
was struck on the neck and face by
flying glass and cash cut in one foot.
1t was feared for time that he would
bleed to death.
Mr.. Cow was standing near the ma
chine when it exploded and was
knocked down, but escaped with but
few injuries. other parties in the store
were not injured seriously. The inside
of the store was almost total wreck.
The loss will run into many hundreds
of dollars. No cause can be given for
the explosion, as it is claimed the
boiler was carrying only 80 pounds OF
steam.

the charges that the police have
shown partiality toward the strikers
that the employers have conspired to
ruin union merchants and that they
have deliberately plotted to incite riot
and discredit labor.
The city tonight is quieter than it
has been since the strike was de.
clared. Nothing that could be called
riot occurred, although in several
instances union and non-union men
dashed AS a result of these fights
there were several heads broken and
a few arrests were made. The EN-
plOyers association reiterated that
within week all delivery wagons
would be running as usual.
Not satisfied with their present rate
of wages, the ice drivers today threat.
ened to follow the example of the
other teamsters and go out. They
have arrived at nothing definite
however, but will do so within day
or two.
The Baptist ministers association
passed resolutions to the effect that
the teamsters and employers should
submit to arbitration, body of citi-
zens appointed by the mayor to act as
arbitrators.

morrow. Forty-nine firms, composing
the Furniture Association, will be af
fected
The going out of these men led Pres
ident Dold of the Chicago Federation of
Labor to make a statement to the eff
feet that despite the fact that the en-
ployers are boasting that the strike has
been lost to the strikers, 1t is really in
its infancy-that is, IL the employers do
not give in. We are in this fight to
stay, and it is only question of time

mands will be granted and the union

COCAINE VICTIM
SENT TO ASYLUM
WOMAN WHO STOLE DISHES WILL
BE REFORMED.
Ten Per Cent of Insane Sent Up From
This County Due to Use
oil Drugs.

Minnie Mcbride, who was arrested
on the charge of stealing glassware,
was taken before Judge Aungst yes.
terday in probate court and sent to
Massillon as a victim of the use of
cocaine. She is in pitiable condition
morally and physically and it is
thought that a course of treatment
will restore her health and will power
so that she will not be slave to the
drug that is becoming so great a men,
ace to the welfare of the city of Can
ton.
In discussing the question of such
drugs, Judge Aungst stated that about
ten per cent of the persons sent to
the Massillon asylum were morpho.
maniacs, or had lost their minds from
the use of some kind of narcotics.
This class of victims is ON the in
crease, due, it is claimed by many
physicians, to the lax observance of
the laws regulating the sale Of the
deadly drugs.
Reference to the statutes shows that
morphine, opium, or any of the salts
or alkaloids of this drug, cannot be
sold except on prescription of a reg
ular physician, and that when thus
sold, the name, age and description of
the person buying must be taken.
Violations of this law are punishable
by fine of from $40 to $50.
