STRIKE GUARDS MURDER.

Belleville Ill-Six men, including
patrolman, were probably fatally shot
when guards stationed at the Orbon
Stove and Range company's plant open
ed fire on crowd of strikers and SYM
pathizers. Witnesses testify that the
shots were fired without provocation.
The first intimation the crowd had was
when binding searchlight was flashed
from the tower of the plant. A fusilade
of shots followed.
City authorities have taken charge of
the struck foundry and shut it down in
definitely and 35 guards and strike
breakers have been lodged in Jail
The company precipitated the strike
by its antagonism to the Stove Mount
ers' union, which is attempting to bet
ter working conditions. Other metal
craftsmen have joined the stove mount
ers and the employers are being sup
ported by the Manufacturers associa-

The policy of the organization for the

THE PRICE HE PAYS

THE PRICE HE PAYS
"Scab" There is no word in the Eng
lish language SO fraught with hatred as
this one word when it is used BY strik-
ers against trike-breakers. Girls cry it
with tears of rage in their eyes and
every primitive instinct aroused against
the man or woman who is jeopardizing
their fight for better working conditions.
Men cry it with all the unleashed pas
sion of their natures urging them to
wage cave warfare.
If you ask them just what is "scab"
you always get an answer like this "A
low-down gink who is taking our jobs"
"A gutter bum that's scabbing on the
job and sucking in with the boss" or
even more unprintable definitions, but
always from the same angle--what the
"scab" does to the worker.
The thing you never get and which
has always seemed to me to be of so
much more importance is what the
"scab" is to herself or himself
A few years ago had occasion to talk

His two children, both of them old

out of the window.

Woman Bitter.
Her voice was hard. She talked fever
ishly. She said too much. She realized
she was the wife of man who was a
traitor to his class, and though she had
urged him, though she justified him
then, she was tasting the bitterness OF
loss of sclf-respect And the children
were tasting it with her. They would
never be proud of their father again,
for he wore the brand of a traitor and
they would not be able to forget it.

new BURN-HEALING WAX
is TRIED AT EMERGENCY
Surgical Miracle of European War
Used at Local Hospital, But Of
fcials Defer Comment.

Although the Emergency Hospital In
this city is trying out the new burn
healing wax which has been character
ized as one of the great surgical mira
cles of the European war. these trials
have not yet been extensive enough to
warrant statement on the part of
hospital officials as to definite results
and an opinion as to the value of the
preparation.
DR.. Paul PutZki medical superintend- :
ent of the hospital. this morning said
that the staff had recently begun using
the preparation and that so far there
had been only six applications to two
different patients. Any dictum as to
the ultimate results would. therefore.
be premature, he. explained. although
so far everything has worked all right.
The burn-healing wax was discovered
de Sandfort of the French navy, but
has been brought into great promi-
nence through the war. IT is most ef-
fective when the patient is treated i'm
mediately. and, in fact. can be readily
utilized as first-aid measure. The
application of the preparation. which
has a paraffin base. does not cause
pain. it is stated by those who have
seen 1t in operation abroad. and, more
over, greatly relieves the pain of a
burn. 1t is said that the British war
sitions for great quantities of this wax.
and that severely burned belligerents
so treated have been discharged as
cured and with good, healthy skin COW

incredibly short time.
