The employers Of labor in Chicago
as elsewhere see that labor has it's
opportunity, to get the directing con-
troll of its own life and to gain fair
wages. So they are desperately de-
termined to do ell in their, power,
and to use every legal process their
lawyer have devised, to prevent the
workers from organizing and helping
one another by labor union action.
The employees of the Deering plant
and the Mccormick plant of the In
ternational Harvester company and
the employees Of the Illinois Malleable
Iron company presented demands on
May for a shorter work day and
for increases in wages amounting to
an average Of about. II per cent for
both piece and day. work. They
walked out when the demands were
refused. They have stayed out ever
since and the plants have been tied
up eyer since, for the .molders,. core
makers and foundrymen on strike
were essential to the operation Of the
works. The onnpanies could not gel

They make the attempt to destroy

They boldly declare, in asking for

on hand which would be valueless
unless labor would give it. a value.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Union
labor in Chicago, with an absolutely
just cause, is fighting with it's back
to the wall a really desperate COM
bination of employers grouped
around the International Harvester
company, and against the power of
the courts. The most sweeping in
juntions against labor have been is
sued, in the form as yet, of tenn
porary restraining orders, on behalf
Of. the Harvester company and the
Illinois Malleable Iron company and
on behalf Of the big and little tam
merry companies of Chicago, whose
workmen are also on strike to pro-
cure a respectable living and some
small share Of the prosperity which
their labor is creating.
Courts Back Employers.
The unions are winning the strike
and would have it won except for
the report of the courts to help them
save their big profits and starve the
strikers into submission to bosses who
are too arrogant even to confer with
committees Of the workers, or with

STRIKING: =lAklflIlhNLER KILLED.:
BY STEEL TRUST POLICE

Is the Steel Trust looking for
another Youngstown?
The downright murder of John
Alar, a. striking miner in the
back yard Of his home at Vir-
ginia yesterday, by Dave Foley
and his company Of private po-
lice is an outrage.
Sheriff Meining should lose no
time in revoking the police
authority Of every steel trust
policeman on the range.
There is danger of more blood
shed if these men are not removed
from the strike zone. They are
provokers Of trouble. They have
learned nothing from the recent
strikes in the east. Sheriff Mein-
ing seems able to handle the
situation. He will protect all
life. and all property. The Oliver
Mining company police are in
terested only in saving the steel
trusts property. They have no
regard for the sacredness of
human life.

his death is not known. There was a.
general melee, in which woman, said
to be Mrs. Nick Rosandich, armed
with a rifle, Alar, and Oliver police
men participated.
Alar is married and has a. family of
three children. His body was removed
to the undertaking parlors of H. S.
Gillespie to be prepared for burial.
Sheriff Meining with a force of
deputies arrived at the scene of the
battle after the firing had ceased.
There were hot words between the
sheriff and David F. Foley, chief of
police.
'Foley, why didn't you notify me of
this?" said the sheriff. 'I couldn't
locate you," said Foley. '"That is not
true," said Meining. TITS strange to
me that you can find this man King
and are unable to locate me-"
King is the special agent of Presi-
dent McGonagle Of the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern railway, and the man
yesterday was involved in a fight with
strikers while they were parading at
HitbinS.
II am through with you," was Mein-
ing's parting words to Foley.

inferred without holding a
searching inquiry. The truth
about this murder must be given
to the public, given straight, and
without corporation color.
It is bad enough when it is
read in the daily papers as fol-
lows:
In pitched battle between striking
miners and between twenty and thirty
Oliver Iron Mining company police
men on the North side of Virginia at
$3.50 this morning, John Alar, a
striker, was killed. Vincent Elias, gro
Gerry proprietor, was shot through the
thigh and an unknown miner was shot
through the left shoulder. Intense ex-
citement prevails over the city.
Stories of North side residents and
police officers Of the Oliver Iron Min
ing company are widely at variance
concerning the starting of the trouble.
Falls Dead On Vacant Lot,
John Alar, fighting with a winches-
ter rifle, fell dead on a vacant lot at
tho rear of his home. He was shot
through the wrist, the abdomen and
through the left jaw. When Alar fell
