MASS MEETING TO PROBE POLICE BIAS-t4ULL
HOUSE BACKS THOROUGH INQUIRY
BY CARL SANDBURG

There wasn't any delegate of or
gained labor nor any union business
agent at that meeting in Hull house
yesterday.
Hull house is neutral between cap
ital and labor. Jane Adams is neu-
trail So are Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
Mrs. James w. Morrison, Grace Alb
bolt, Sophonisba Breckenridge, Rev.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Rev. John Tim
othy Stone.
They met at Hull house to raise
the question why the police force of
this city is not neutral. They want to
know why the police force of Chicago
as piece of governmental machinery
is handed over to the big garment
manufacturers and used almost ex-
clusiYely with the aim of crushing
strikers.
They have planned a mass meeting
in Cohan's Grand Opera house Sun
day at pm. At that meeting speak
ers will tell facts of the strike Wheth-
er the strikers are right or wrong will
not be the main point of inquiry.
These are the questions:
Shall the police department of Chi
cago be used now and hereafter as
the instrument of special class with
special privileges?
Why does/the whole executive end
of city government use its power to
discredit strikers and not show the
conspiracy, conniVance, corruption
and crime of police officials, private
police agencies, strike-breaking bu-
reaus and employers associations?
How long shall the city govern
ment continue to classify underpaid
and revolving Wage-earners in the
same criminal category for the same
rough handling as pickpockets, rob-
bers and murderers?
Why should a $4-a-week baster in
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-10-29

tutes or shoplifters? Is a girl or
woman on strike in the same class
with the harlot and thief?
Shall private police agencies such,
as those of Nick Hunt and the Pink,
ertons and ThieIs be allowed with all
their criminal and underworld con-,
nections to throw their armies of OPP
eratiVes into the handling of strikes
in Chicago or shall the handling of
strikes be lodged solely in the hands
of the city police department, with
every special policeman strictly re-
sponsible to the city government?
It is not often that real human,
editorial with ring of personal truth,
gets into the big advertising sheets
of the loop. Jim Kelley goes to bat.
in the Herald today, however, with
that kind of an editorial. He says:
eve have the word of Acting Chief,
Schuettler that men and women who
choose to work have been followed;
and threatened by strikers in the,
streets and in numerous cases as,
saulted in their homes. And when
Hermann Schuettler makes a cate,
gorical statement the people of Chi,
cago are apt to take his words at.
their face value. The editor of the
Herald has known him for twenty,
five years and has always found him
not only a good police officer, but a.
good citizen, one whose word always,
has been worthy of credence and con-
f1dence. ..-. :
con the other hand, the editor Of,
the Herald has faith in the state
ments of Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Nc.
Cormick and the other public-spirit-
ed women who testify that pickets.
and strikers have been brutally,
treated. They would not charge the
police or the special officers with
these things unless they knew them,
to be true. The Herald, therefore,
accepts their word"

FAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
WILL PROBABLY SELECT A
MAN FOR PROVISIONAL
PRESIDENT

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Amer

Hampshire sailed last night from
Newport, Rhode Island, for Vera Cruz
in response to an urgent request from
Commander McNamee that his little
fleet of gunboats be reinforced in view
of the anti-foreign demonstrations in

ItNis learned that the Pan-American
conference will probably select a man
for the provisional presidency of Mex

Mexican factions a definite plan for
setting up the provisional govern
ment. The possibility that some
chiefs, particularly Carranza, may re-
fuse to join the convention has been
All nations in the Pan-American
conference are said to be agreed to
use the United States forces, if neces-
sary, to enforce an embargo on arms
against any chiefs opposing the new
government. Armed Intervention to
establish a Mexican government is
contemplated only as a last resort,
and it is understood South and Central
American governments will be asked
only for their approval of military
operations by the United States if
they become necessary.

South Florida, but was called home
by wire, as his son was badly in need
OF his presence.
= Mr.. and Mrs. Price, Mr.. Ben
Bitch, Mr.. Coulter and Miss Legie
Bitch came in this morning from
Blftchton, with the baby's remains,
Miss 1egie going with them to Pa
latka, the party leaving on the six
o'clock train and going via Rochelle.
Mr.. McIver went out to Blitchton
last evening and embalmed the body Of
the child. .e
The funeral will take place at Pa
latka this afternoon.
Mrs. Price was formerly Miss Lily
o'Haver of Palatka and attended the
Ocala High school for a number Of
years before her marriage. She and
Miss Legie Bitch became very warm
friends and have often visited each
other both before and since her mar
riage.
The distressing accident has cast
gloom over the entire Blitchton sec
tion, and among the many friends Of
the two families in Ocala, the deep
est sympathy goes out TO both the
Price and the Bitch families.
Mr. Bitch is suffering the most
acute mental agony, and has complete
ly broken down and refuses 10 be
comforted-
Those who know the young man
best, viii know how utterly impossi-
BILE il would be for this, accident to
happen through any careIessness on
his part. There is no more kindly,
careful or gentlemanly young man in
the whole country. Consideration for
the rights and feelings of others is
first nature with him. To his gentle,
christian heart this calamity comes as
something too utterly crushing. IL Is
more than he can bear and his condi-
ton is pitiful and his grief is second
only TO that of the mother and father
OF the child.
How the little one could have ever
toddled the long distance to the ga
rage, even after she had succeeded IN
opening the gate, is more than any
one can understand. She must have
opened the gate by persistently shak-
ing it till the latch slipped out Of its
socket, when her first thought was to
follow her playfellow.
