CHICAGO GUNMEN

G144NkAGO GON MEIN
"My Revolver" is the topic of
a Tribune editorial, in which the
dangerous practice of carrying
guns is denounced as disgrace
which Chicago should not toll
crate.
That part of it is all right, but
The Tribune takes occasion to
ring in labor unions because
Thomas Freer, who shot James
Conway, a union worker, happen
ed to belong to a labor union.
Many of the frequent murders
in Chicago may be traced to this
gun-toting habit. It's bad enough
for anybody to carry revolvers-
even the police are too quick on
the trigger, and occasionally muir
der man for no other crime than
running away from them.
But nobody has been more
reckless with murderous re-
volvers than the ex-convict slug
gers hired by the newspapers to
hunt down members of labor
unions who happened to belong to
some of the printing trades.
1t was newspaper gunner who
murdered Conductor Frank Witt
on June IS, 1912.
1t was newspaper gunner who
murdered George HEIR, on Au-
gust 8, 1912.

In a resolution adopted by the
Chicago Federation of Labor, Au-
gust 10, 1912, the record of some
of the gunner in the employ of
Chicago newspapers and deputiz-
ed as special policemen, was
given as follows:
Charles Barrett, convicted of
rape in criminal court of Cook
county, June Is, 1905; sentenced
to 10 years in Joliet pen; judg-

Edward Barrett, convicted in

FEW LIFEBOATs ON LAKES
Most Steamers Said To Be Inadeopate
ly Equipped to Save Lives.

Chicago' April s-"Most OF the passen-
ger steamers that ply Lake Michigan are
inadequately provided with lfesaving an.
paratus'" declared Roy l.. Peck. federal
inspector for this district Of steam vessels
here Laws referring to provision for
iifeboats and RATS are entirely Inadequate
and. as applied to some OF the lake boats
are absurd. For instance. there Is one
boat that carries nearly every day In the
summer two thousand persons. and Il has
been known TO carry four thousand. Life
boats enough for only 1856 persons are re-
quired, and only enough for $50 actually
are carried
Many other boats are similarly provided.
and there are only few Of them properly
supplied with RATS and boats"

NO CHECK ON OCEAN TRAVEL
Some Reservations Cancelled,
hut Others Take Them.

Notwithstanding the Titanic disaster the
demand for transportation has diminisheo
little. Travellers who had made rese'Na-
tions on the lost vessel for her proposen
sa astvsrd trip on Saturday have calmly
arranged with the International Mercan-
tile Marine Company for accommodation
on other steamships. some of them depart
ing Yesterday on the Cedric
The IApland, sailing on Saturday, VIII
take some OF those who had booked on
the Titanic
Other lines have proited by loss Of the
Titanic. The Hamburg American liner
Cincinnati, scheduled to leave on Satur-
day for Hamburg, has had many additions
TO her passenger list in all departments
since Monday. The fact that she is com
paratively slow steamship has increased
the demand for her accommodations. The
awful lesson OF high speed in the Titanic
catastrophe has forced many TO select slow
steamships.
The Cunard liner Mauretania, expected
this morning from Liverpool was practi-
cally booked to capacity before the Titanic
sank. There have been a few cancella-
tons, but no sooner had the passengers
given up their reservations than others
gladly took them.
A woman who had one of the high priced
rooms on the Mauretania called UP the
Cunard Line yesterday, giving her name
and the number OF her room. and asked
for a statement from the company as to
the number of lifeboats the steamship
had. Asked If they were in sufficient num-
ber TO keep all the passengers and crew
afloat at one time. the clerk Informed her
that they were not, whereupon she said
she had thought Of cancclling hCr accom-
modations.
The clerk informed her politely that he
would consider 1t favor IL she would
let him know promptly. as there were
scores OF persons anxious to get the room.
