McCREARY PREDICTS
STRIKERS KILL WIN
IN VERY SHORT TIME

Paducah. Ky, NOV. o2--In a state
ment issued by Fred McCreary, presi-
dent of the System Federation OF the
Illinois Central he says the strikers
practically have won, and that fine
reports for the men are coming In
daily from all over the system.
He said There have been less de-
sertions during the strike, consider
ing the number of men involved,
than in any strike in the history of
organized labor. Our figures show
that the assertions are remarkably
small, and at every point the men are
standing firm"
Many benefits are being given in
the city for the Paducah strikers.
This week the management of the
Arcade Theatre viii give two-thirds
Of the receipts Of every performance
to the strikers. Hereafter the gener-
al bulletin will be issued from the
office Of Secretary w. p. Bowen, in

BIG CINCINNATI FIRE
Thrilling Re3caes Made While Sew

ssriously Injured.

Cincinnati, O., Nov 22.-Two
children were fatally injured and a
number of men seriously hurt when
fire, which for spectacular effect
and thrilling rescues eclipsed any in
this city for years, totally destroyed
the plant of the J. Boum Safe and
Lock Co. early this evening.
The loss will be in the neighbor-
hood of s35O,OOo.
Two hundred employees were in
the building when the fire started
and the flames filled the buildings
exits in SO short a time that nearly
all Of the employees escaped from the
building through other channels.
Seyenty-five men, employed on the
fourth floor, jumped from the win
dow to a roof of an adjoining struc-
ture, story below, followed a
cement wall for fifty feet and then
climbed to trestle Of the Louisville
& Nashville road.
Two children. aged Z and 5, were
sitting on a sidewalk when a fire
marshal's buggy dashed by. The
children attempted to cross the
street in front of the buggy and
were run over. They cannot live.

Rexall 0rderlies not only relieve

trouble in the United States was
rendered yesterday by Judge F. Nj.

in East st. Louis who recently
granted an injunction in Cairo, in
the case OF Thomas Woods, president
of the local Boiler Makers Union,
who was charged with violating the
federal injunction against the strik-
Ing Illinois Central shopmen.
Woods practically Is held respon-
sible for the future actions Of the
striking shopmcn Of East st. Louis,
and, whether he viii be later sei1ten.
ced by Judge Wright for violating
the injunction. will be determined
by the future actions of the strikers.
Friends Of Wood are expected to mas
ter the situation IN Eas; st. Louis; to
prevent any violence on, the part of
the strikers or accept a jail sentence
to be fixed by Judge Wright at the
September session Of court in Dam
vile. Ill.,
Another feature Of Judge Wright's
decision is his advice To the strikers
to so back TO work He states they
do not know what lthe strike is
about, that no one does, and that the
calling Of the walk-out Is the work of
irresponsible agitators who would
tear down the government.
Union labor people are criticising
severely the language used by Judge
Wright and the strikers are prepar-
ing for series of mass meetings in
