Against Their Will

Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-Mounted and

on the O'Donovan bridge near the
works. During the firing the troop
ers and other police remained inside
the mill, orders having been issued
to take no action unless the strikers
attempted to enter the plant. The
strike leaders today explained the
shooting and disorder. They are Of
the opinion that the workmen are be-
ing held in the mills against their
wishes. The shooting, they say, was
for the purpose of bringing the con-
stabulary from the plant TO the bridge
and thus give the new men an oppor-
tunity to escape from the works.

Indianapolis, Aug. 19-One Ameri-
can track record was smashed in the
first two races of inaugural day of
the indianapolis motor speedway. The
new track more than carried out the
prophecy of its promoters when Louis
Chevrolet, at the wheel of a Buick.

event on the program, in the phe-
nomenal time of S:56 4-1O, breaking
Barney Oldfield's former mark of 9:l2.
The great car tore around the track
faster than any machine ever did in
America. Breaking away to a good
start the French speed demon led all
the way around for the ten miles.
Louis Strang was second and Bob Bur-
man finished third, making a clean
sweep for the speedy Buick.
The first raCa was five mile affair
and the Standardization finished first
and second. Schwitzer and Wright
were the victorious drivers. The Buick
driven by Dewitt was forced back
into third place by the speedy work
of the Standardization. The time,
5:13 4-1O, was comparatively slow. as
it was not quite mile minute.
