TWO MEN INJURED Badly Burned by Nitric Acid at Pack. erviile Plant.

=
 Arthur Royal and John Gardner, two local young men. were severely injured the past week at the CroweIl & William Dye Works at PackerviIle, when a carboy containing nitric acid, burst. the contents burning the men severely. Gardner's hands were badly burned while Royal was burned on the stomach y 'ye. .
 Many people are wondering whether the company will pay the men com pensation. as they were only in the company's employ for two days be- fore the accident occurred. The per- sons commenting on the affair believe that the men should receive pay for their injuries as inadequate working supplies were responsible somewhat for the injuries. as no rubber gloves, aprons or other rubber goods, needed for that kind of work. were provided for the men. No medical supplies were kept on hand for first aid The men bad to wait until they were taken to Piainfield before they received treat nent.
