Boiled To Death In Buttons.

Unable to attract aid by his cries of
agony or drag himself from pools Of
boiling liquid William Eckness, a
night engineer employed by Halfeigh
& Co.. was scalded to death early in
the morning at his post of duty. Eek
ness, who was SO years old, and who
boarded at 1852 East Lippincott
street, was tightening a bar which
secured the door to a vat containing
thousands Of gallons of mixture
used in the making of buttons The
bar broke and liberated a stream of
hot fluid. He was drenched from
head to foot and his body was hor-
ribly scalded.. He was dead when he
was found by the company's night
Waterman.
There were witnesses of the
accident, but officers of the company
declare. it was caused by the break
ing of the bar. Eckness was hurled
to the floor by the force of the steam
which rushed out upon him, but in
spite of the terrible burns it inflicted,
he was able to drag himself nearly
80 feet.

New London Day.
It isn't easy to understand the po-
sition of American capitalists with
relation to the dye industry. From
the very beginning OF the war it was
obvious that the shutting off of COM
merce with Germany, or even the de-
lection of so many German working
men from the chemicar industries to
the army would have a damaging
effect on American textile business un-
less the manufacture Of dyes was
taken up in this country.
Yet for some reason, with oppor-
tonity knocking at the door, there has
been next to nothing done toward home
production of these commodities so
necessary to our manufactures.
The plea that capital cannot be
expected to embark in such an enter
prise because it might not prove per-
manent after the war Is childish to a
degree. With the basic material pres
ent in this country, with manufacture
ing brains at least the equal of any in
the world, and with surely enough eX
pert chemists in the country to set the
business going, the start given by the
