Strike Breakers Hired by Illinois
Central Driven Out by Courts
, ard Citizens.
PICKED UP ON B0WERY;
THEN LOCKED IN CARS
Same Tactics Used by Railroads
that Were Employed During
Switchmen s Strike.

The day of EliOt's hero is over. He
Is now regarded as an "undesira BILE
citizen and citizens of high standing
have united with union workers in
the demand that he leave certain
communities for the communitys
good.
At East st. Louis, ILL.,, three of
Ehots heroes were arraigned in
court and given until sun down to
get out of the city. Tattered, hungry
and weather-beaten they presented a
piteous spectacle, and when they told
the court that they had been picked
up in a Bowery lodging house in New
York, locked in a car on a special
train with 166 other heroes and
given no food on the journey from
New York to East st. Louis, the court
and the spectators realized that the
railroad company had little regard for
the heroes it expected to rout the
strikers.
Railroads Ingratitude.
On their arrival in East St. Louis
the master mechanic of the local shop
had refused to put them to work.
Penniless, tired and hungry they had
drlfted into the streets of the city
only to fall prey to unfeeling police
men who failed to recognize them as
heroes, called them buns and drove
them back to the shop. There they
received scant courtesy, were bundled
on special train and started for Chi
cago. But heroes like every day
men need something to eat and they
dropped off the train and made an
other effort to satisfy the demands of
the stomach. The police grabbed
them again, and. when. they appeared
In court even the city authorities
seemed loath to provide them with
the scant, coarse fare of the criminal,
and they were driven from town.
Alas and alack for three of Eliot's
heroes.
Hostile Reception.
At McComb, Miss, whole train
load of heroes found a very hostile
reception from citizens of all degrees.
Like heroes of outlaw fame they had
guns and on arriving in the Missis-
slppl city they began to use them like
outlaws. They pumped lead into the
citizens, and said citizens resented the
mode of entry of the heroes" But
when the heroes added insult to in
jury by heaping indignities on the
women of the community, the united
citizenship asserted itself and the
heroes were compelled to depart,
guarded by troops
New Orleans Mayor o. X.
At New Orleans, Mayor Behrman,
In addressing 5000 strikers showed
conclusively that he too was no ad-
mirer of the men that Professor Eliot
bad tried to immortalize. He assured
the men, who were battling for their
rights that he would exercise his
moral right to compel the railroad
company to deport all "undesirables'
who may be brought to the city to
take the places of the strikers.
! The day has passed when traitors
to their fellow workers can merit the
appreciation of the great American
public. The day is here when true
manhood is appreciated and the
rights of the toilers must be respect
ed. Eliot's heroes are passing
the true heroes are coming.

The Prevention Of Consumption,

Despite it's contagious nature, and
the great number of cases scattered
throughout the country, consumption
can be prevented; and no person
who will acquaint himself with the
have it. One should have the proper
regard for few fundamental prin-
ciples of good health and good sense,
and no one need fear it's ravages who
will observe the principles so often
laid down by the medical profession,
to whom we owe everything for all
instruction in matters of disease pre-
vention. Outside of medical men,
who has ever given to the world one
thing that would lead to disease pre-
vention?
There are three ways OF prevent
ing consumption, which must be ap-
piled according to the circumstances
of every person. The first and the
Self from the disease is to keep the
normal body in good physical condi-
ton. If a man be healthy, his
chances of contracting consumption
are slight. If he has good powers of
resistance, fOstered by an abstemlOus
and proper life, he need not be
alarmed if he should, by accident,
breathe the germs of consumption
into his system. His body, if taken
care of, will protect itself from the
disease. This rule of life, applies to
many other diseases besides con-
sumption and is the real secret to
freedom from sickness.
The second method of preventing
consumption is never to go willingly
where the disease is, unless one
knows that the proper precautions
are being taken. The consumptive
should receive all possible consider
alton and sympathy in his distress,
but he should not be visited by otn-
ers, unless he takes the proper care
of his sputum and does his utmost to
prevent the spread of the disease

A person, however we'll and strong,
should never remain in the same
room with a consumptive, unless the
room is well aired and ventilated,
and should not, under any circum-
stances kiss or remain in close per-
sonal contact with a consumptive.
The third way of preventing con-
sumption applies only to those per-
sons who are forced to live in the
same house with a consumptive. The
problem here is naturally more diff
ticult. If the person who lives in the
house with a consumptive is to es-
cape the horrors of the disease, it
can only be accomplished by careful
precautions. He must, first of all,
See that the patient follows the pre-
cautions which have been given
above. He should see to it that the
patient has the proper facilities for
disposing of his sputum, proper diet,
proper ventilation, proper food and
every facility to keep his body in
good condition. The man or woman
who can induce a consumptive to
take these precautions, can be posi-
tive that he is performing genuine
public service and is lessening the
spread of the disease. The person
who lives in the house with con-
sumptive should, moreover, be ex-
tremely careful in his own habits of
life and in his diet. He should re-
member that the condition of his
own body is as important to the pro-
lection he has against the disease as
every other factor COMMUNICATIONS
