from every section of the Union
to rush detectives and lawyers to
fight the payment of $1.17s,000
insurance, most of which was
written for Painter few months
before his life was ended.
And it is for this vast sum Of
money and a desire TO perpetu-
ate the good name that the man
held in life that his family, his
friends and demonstrations he had
benefited are making a counter
fight to prove that the manufac-
turer, politician, civic leader and
churchman did not deliberately
leap into the water to permit
them to reap a monetary reward
from the treasures Of the or
CARNATIONS which had trusted
him.
CORONER AFTER MARK.
1t will be the mark of the dol
lar that will be followed in the
coroner's investigation which
will begin early this week. 1t will
be this same trial that will be fol-
lowed when the courts are asked
to decide-as they inevitably will
the true story of Painters
death.
Three theories have been ad-
vanced in reference to the mys-
terry. The first is that Painter
leaped from the ferrybost on
which he was travelling from his
office to his fertilizer factory and
refused to be rescued in order
that his family might collect his
enormous insurance.
The second is that he was at
tackled by apoplexy and fell over
board in an unconscious eondi-
ton and was therefore unable to
respond to the efforts to save his
life.
A third theory-the least con-
sidered one-is that the manu-
faeturer had developed a mono

FIGHT TO PROTEST AGAINST
EIGHT-HoUR BILL
Four hundred Chicago manufac-
turers tonight and struggled to get
into the red room of the Hotel La
Sale today so they might urge their
greed-bred protest against the eight
hour bill.
Representatives of every big in
dustry in Illinois were among them,
enjoying representatives, that is, not
employed representatives.
Chairman John T. Denirr of the
committe called T. c. Withers, presi-
dent of the Mount Vernon, ILL.,, knit
ting factory, to the stand.
Withers made his little speech. And
it suddenly became apparent that Mr..
Withers was representing the en-
ployes and not what he himself is
the employer.
81 make a personal protest against
this bill fro ma personal point of
view,'', said Withers. 81 am the son

vent me.
81 am here in the interest of my
women employees to demand they be
given, their personal liberty to regu-
late their hours of labor"
And the four hundred manufactur-
ers cheered. ....
It is excessively interesting to
know that Mr.. Withers was there in
the interest of my women employees
to demand they be given their per-
sonal liberty to regulate their hours
of labor.
