CHICAGO MINISTERS LINE UP AGAINST POLICE
:, AND CLOTHING BOSSES

Chicago ministers OF the gospel
are breaking presidents by their &C
ton in lining up against the partisan
policy of the city police and the anti
arbitration attitude of the Kuppen-
heimers, Rosenwalds and garment
bosses.
At a conference in the home of
Prof. and Mrs. Frank r. Lille yes
terday Dr. Oscar c. Helming, pastor
of the University Congregational
church, said he is going onto the
strike picket line again. He was
rough handled and arrested last week
by Chief HeaIey's harness bulls on
the job at the Kuppenheimer shop.
But Rev. Helming, along with 9TH
ers from the university. is going
again into what the sluggers call
1.-The death belt" He said:
Whatever my views on the strike
l could never condone the I'M
neutral attitude of the police in this
fight"
Ministers, professors and students
were at the Lille home conference.
Mrs. Lille is the daughter of Richard
T. Crane, the multi-millionaire IRON
monger. She is a sister of Charles
R. Crane. Ordered off the picket line
by Healey's crack policemen on
strike duty recently, Mrs. Lille
would not go. She dared them to
arrest her for peaceably walking the
sidewalks. And when the cops didn't
arrest her she flung the def at them
that they knew she was rich and
had plenty of money to defend her
self in the courts.
The coarse-mouthed and rough
handed tactics of Chief Healey's men
on duty at garment shops has shaken
up the sense of fair play in both the
church and university circles. Among
those who have offered to go on the |
picket line this week are: Prof. and
Mrs. Lille, DR.. Edward Ames, DR..

rev. austin Hunter OF JACKSON
Blvd Christian church last night
said in his sermon:
Jesus took into consideration the
bystander in his work. He sought
his good, as well as the individual
with whom he was dealing directly.
His work was altruistic and I'M
selfish. He also taught his follow
ers to remember the bystanders.
They were to let their light so
shine that men might see. They
were to be a good neighbor to any
men in distress, regardless of nation
atty or creed.
There are multitudes of bystand-
ers in our city toward whom we are
Indifferent. Just now a strike is
on among class of workers whose
wages have been pitifully low.
Their only salvation is to stick to-
gether. Without a union such a
worker is nonentity, absolutely
helpless. With others 1 spent some
time doing picket duty with these
people and studying their problem.
The cruelty and unfair attitude of the
sluggers, and even policemen, was al
most unbelievable to me. l saw two
brave, rugged sluggers, with their
stars concealed, cruelty beat a frail
woman and when some of us tried to
take their numbers, that we might
take the matter up with the proper
authorities, they insultingly refused
and called us all manner of insolent
names.

is anything but neutral. 1t is time

nant Races.

New York, Sept. 15.-The worlds
champions Boston Nationals furnished
the only change in the baseball situa-
ton Tuesday by jumping back into
second place, a result of their vic
tory over Chicago, while Brooklyn was
losing to st. Louis The Braves hold
the second position by a single per-
centage point over Brooklyn, the only
pennant contender in either league to
lose Tuesday. The Philadelphia Ma
tionals lived up to their reputation for
consistency which they established
this season by winning another game
from Pittsburg and thereby clinging
to their four-game lead.
The apparent dead lock in the
American league remained unchanged.
Detroit, though winning it's third
straight game from New York, was
given no opportunity to gain on the
Red SoX, who won their seventh con-
secutive game by defeating the some
what more formidable Chicago aggre-
cation and thus retaining a three and
a half game lead. The Red Sox and
the Tigers wind up their series today
and then cross bats at Boston for what
may be the deciding struggle.
Those who already concede the race
to the Red Sox are specializing now
whether Chicago will be able to retain
third position. Washington is only
four games behind the White Sox and
at the rate Clark Griffiths team has
been going, there is a chance for it to
overhaul Chicago
New York's berth in the second di-
vision also is being threatened, with
ST. Louis only four games behind.

FIRE PREVENTION
Useful Hints Given by Old
Fj[enen--- Good Rules

Fire is the most destructive
element known to man. 1t has
caused untold misery and DESTROYS
millions in property each year.
Most fires are preventable, pre-
caution and common sense are the
greatest factors in fire prevention.
Some very good advice has been
given by frmen of various cities
and careful perusal may save
your property and perhaps. life.
The advice given is as follows:
All persons using oily rags OF
any description containing any oils
including, Benzine, Gasoline, Tur-
pentine, Varnish, Paint, Furniture
or Piano Polish and Acids of all
kinds, should always place them in
a metal receptacle to be provided
for all such Oily Rags.
Often we have been called to put
out fires caused through the care
lessness of people using Electric
Irons. If people would arrange
properly for the use of Electric
Irons, the chances of fires from this
cause would be reduced to mini
mum. A regular non combustlble
iron holder should be provided; one
that would be entirely free and sep
arate from the pressing board.
This should be sufficiently re-
moved from the electric con-
nections, so that the socket would
be drawn from the iron when IN
position, the holder thereby break
ing the electric current from the
iron, and in this way an electric
iron would become almost foo
proof.
Defective wiring contributes Its
share to the great number OF pre-.
ventable fires. Have all electrical
work done bv competent electric.
ians. Our most stubborn and dit
ficult fires are caused by defective
wiring, as all wires somewhere rur
through partitions and attics.
The habit of adding lights here ane
there promiscuously in buildings
by scraping insulation from wires
and in turn hanging them on con
venient nails and water pipes
thereby causing short circuits /:
very deplorable and should be dis
