 Scale of Prices.
 The trio engaged in the real acts of slugging, Gilhooley, Feeley and Looney, received but $15 each for their murders but better prices than these are in ex- istence for those who would take ad- vantage of them. scale of prices de- clared by police authorities to have been in existence for more than two years and used in nearly every strike launched in this city during that time, follows:
 For murder, $100 to $500.
 Serious knockout, $25 to $100.
 Leg or arm broken, $25 to $50.
 Plain assault (gauged according to re- sulD, s5 to $15
 So much slaughter and food for sluggers was to be found in the strike that it is believed in the cases brought to light that cut rates were instituted.
 The Plot Exposed.
 Charles Casey, the leading unionist in the scandal, in his signed confession to the police, sets forth the facts in an in- teresting manner. In connection with the Gilhooley murders he says:
 "The first time I saw Charles Gil- -hooley was on the afternoon of April 6, 1905, He, with two other men, was in the vicinity of the Woods Vehicle

ters near West Van Buren and Hal. sted streets; another near Chicago avenue and Market street; another near Twenty-second and States streets, sandsstill anothersin the downtown dis l trict. This last clique contains over 30 members. and any exceedingly des- perate "job" is as a rule, placed to come to the attention of the Employ CTS association engaged in breaking the teamsters' strike, and that most of them may be laid to the five gangs known to be operating in Chicago IS looked upon as proven fact.
 When Gilhooley learned of Casey's confession he was wild with rage. He tore about his cell. banging his hand cuffs against the wall and vowed to take the life of the business agent, if opportunity ever presented itself. You - he roared. If you had kept your mouth shut they would never have known anything about it. They would never have been able to prove anything against us. You are a lot of ft-headed idiots and this talk of yours will land you as well as me, you -" Another round of curses completed Gilhooleys senJ- menis on the matter, and he was led away. still vowing he would have Casey's life.
 To the unions engaged in these ne farious plots the murdering bands are known as "wrecking crews" and in playful spirit the cash required to car ry on the business is charged to "edu- cational purposes" as pointed out in Casey's statement.
 Gilhooleys confession was easy 10 extract from him. At first he was sul- len. refusing to talk, but a fiattering word as to his prowess brought his professional pride to the surface. and with it his part in the crimes. Carl strom. the last victim of Gilhooley's band. gave his three assailants a hard tussle. and the attorney remarked:
 "I guess he gave you a pretty hard fight for your SIS. didn't he?"
 "I should say he did-he could fight some" were the words that escaped the big fellows lips before he realized the trap When he comprehended. he broke forth in a paroxysrn of rage.
 Gilhooley Is Defiant.

committee voted that fund be laid aside for educational purposes At the same time a list of names was se- lected, including men who had refused to go out on strike. These names were selected by Henry J. Newman, secre- tary of the union, and Carlstrom's name was at the head of the list. Gill hooley said: Whom shall we, get first?' He was told to go after the man whose name headed the list and to get the others in order. Gilhooley was given cash from the fund for incidental ex- penses.
 Later met Gilhooley and he said: We'll. got Meyers -Carlstrom was known also by the name of Meyers he put up an awful fight, kicked me in the shins and will have to go and zee a doctor. Newman gave GiIhooley more money, but he kicked and said he should have S15 for the job. He said he had received that amount from other unions for the same sort of work. We objected at the time, but later he received five dollars more, making $15 in all.
 Later met Gilhooley in a saloon on Clark street and he told me he had got other men. He said he met these men on street cars and fixed them. Gil- hooley was given more money for his services. Some time after this one of his victims died, and when Gilhooley appeared again he wanted to know if we wanted any more slugging."
 Other Gangs at Work.
 Although Gilhooley's case has been well-aired, his is not the only gang which operates In strikes in Chicago. There are known to be four other bands of desperados, who derive their living from preying on opposers of labor organizations. One has headquar-

 Method of the System"
 No question now exists here regarding the methods which some of the labor unions, whose men quit work in the great teamsters' strike, employed in their endeavor to win out. When Gil hooley confessed his part in the con opli dCy JuclC WdS SOulC QuCotiou do to the real truth in the matter, many be- lieving that the man, who has a long criminal record, might have boasted; but before the avowal of Gilhooleys part in the plot came the confession of Charles J. Casey, business agent of the wagon makers union, No. 4, telling the whole history of the system" and branding the teamsters' strike in con nection with which the deeds were con- mitted, as a blot of the blackest charac- ter. in the history of labor organizations.
 The system" which few found it pos. sible to escape. was this: A list of men to be disposed of" was furnished the sluggers in command; the names, begin. ming with the first on the death roll, were handed out to the assistants, who shadowed the victims until opportunity was given them to carry out their das- tardly work.

We mean to prosecute the investiga- tion which we have begun vigorously, and as long as there is anything further to do. The Carriage and Wagon Manu- lecturers association is. of course, inter- ested in the prosecution of the men who have been slugging the employees of its members. We are not going to stop there, however. We want to know all about what the officers of other unions have been doing in the matter of employing men to slug honest workingmen. be- lieve that by doing so we can put stop to the acts of violence which have dis graced not only the labor unions but the city.
 Gives Praise to Lavin.
 T also want to say that believe Tn- spector Lavin and his detectives cannot be complimented too highly for the work that they have done in this case. be- lieve they have performed one of the cleverest pieces of detective work in the history of the Chicago police depart ment. They began without so much % . clew to the identity of the assailants of Carlstrom. and they continued their work until they have disclosed the man. ner in which strikes seem to be conduct ed in Chicago
 We have all known for a long time in general way that the men who at- tackled nonunion men and who some- times killed them were not always mem- bers of the unions on a strike. IL re- mained for Inspector Lavin and his men to get definite proof of tho truth. This has never been done before. believe that not alone in Chicago, but in other cities. it has been found impossible heretofore to get at the inside workings of the unions
 And now to send these nefarious crim. inals to the gallows is the cry which 10 heard from the citizens of not only Chi cago. but every city which is likely to en. counter just such proposition a has confronted the authorities here. Every thing is ripe for adjusting the moose. but one question still remains. How many besides the three or four directly impli- cated are to suffer? Advances along this line as yet are little more than con- lecture, and. nothing but the machina- tions of the wheel of justice can decide.

Myers Department Store-To be in.
vcStigated by Special Commission

Albany, n Y, August 9.-The col
lapse of the John G.. Meyers depart
ment store yesterday which resulted in
the death of 13 persons and the prob
able fatal injury of two others, will be
investigated by special commission
This afternoon when the searcherS an
nounced their belief that no more
bodies were in the ruins, Mayor Gaus
called meeting of the heads of the
city departments and decided to ap-
point three non-residents to inquire
into the cause of the disaster and re-
port where to place the blame.
The discovery that the thirteen bod
les already taken out will probably ac-
count for all the victims of the acci-
dent is a surprise to Albanians, who,
until the afternoon, expected that at
least dozen more mangled forms were
buried beneath the ruins.
The small number of deaths, small
when it is considered that nearly lou
persons went down with the wreck, is
accounted for by the fact that scarcely
any of the brick walls fell and the de-
bris consisted mostly of wooden tim
bers and plaster, with only an occa-
sional iron girder. One of these iron
beams crushed the life out Of four
young girls.
