MANY HURT IN
new ARCO RIOT
Guards Fire Into Strikers Who At
tack Cars Carrying Non
Union Workers.
TWO PERSONS FATALLY Shot
Corn Products Company's Plant Agar
Closely Guarded-Further Trouble
Is Expected-Feeling Is
Said to Be High.

Chicago, July ia man and wom-
an are dying and many others are
nursing wounds as the result of the
renewal of rioting ard a battle be-
tween guards and strikers Of the Corn
Products Refining company at Argo,
Which cost the lives Of three men last
Tuesday.
The battle was staged at Sixty-third
street and Archer avenue, where near
ly 1000 strikers met street cars which
were bringing workers to the refining
plant. The workers, nearly 600 men
and women, had been sent to their
homes Saturday night under armed
guard.
They were returning under the same
guard.
Armed With Rifles.
These men, who had been told to
shoot to kill at the slightest outbreak
on the part of the strikers, stood on
the front and rear of the street cars.
They were armed with rifles.
The crowd of strikers began to as
semble early, when it was learned
that the workers would be brought to
the plant. The efforts of the officials
Of the union to try to dispense the
strikers were futile. Men and women
stood in the middle of the street and
waved clubs and sticks in their excite
ment.
When the cars hove into sight gen.
eral cry went up. The strikers called
those in the cars "scabs,' and began
to hurl stones and bricks.
Guards Open Fire at Once.
Without hesitation the guards open
ed fire. When the smoke cleared
away, Michael Vail, forty-eight years
old, was lying in the street. He was
shot once through the head and three
times through the body. Physicians
said he was dying. He is the father
of seven children.
A young woman who had been in
the front rank of the mob was also
reported to have been shot. Mrs.
Stella Gornack, twenty-eight years old,
mother Of four children, was beaten
on the head, and removed to a hospital
unconscious. 1t is said she will die.
The strikers fell back The guard
gathered up the wounded and took
them into the plant.
Rushed to Their Posts.
The nOnuniOn employees were rush
ed to the plant, where they Immediate
~ went to work.
The guard, which had been with
drawn around the plant, was thrown
out again. Among this guard there
are several overseas. soldiers who won
honors on the field of battle in France.
Feeling Said to Be High.
The strikers are expected to meet
later in the day and come to a definite
conclusion as to the attitude they are
to maintain toward the guards. The
telling is said to be high. Although
following the killing of the three strik-
ers last week the officials Of the
union Gained the men down to GER
tain extent, there has been a feeling
that they might start trouble at any
moment.
