Another sacrifice of hu-
man life to auto speed
mania has been made on the
lofty Sprague avenue trestle.
That only one was killed is
merely a miracle of chance.
Two weeks ago a machine
shot into space from the
trestle and o. D. Collins was
the victim.
Last night near the same
spot another auto met like

is dead.

may be in scorching out on

questions to be settled in the iron and
steel trade Is whether the industry is
to be operated upon a non-union basis

Workers is to be wiped out of exist

Steel Company to settle the question.
That corporation Is the last Of the
large concerns that has been dealing
with the labor organization to the ex-
clusion of non-union men. 1t has not
been absolutely determined whether
a battle will be fought to eXterminate
the union, but the Republic company Is
acting in a suggestive ann and
talks with various officials of the COM
