Chlcago, July Z9.-SeVen persons
were killed and more than 40 wound
ed, many of them seriously, in a re-
newal of race-rioting in the Chicago
"Black Belt" last night.
For more than five hours the five
mile area on the south side was a
battle ground of scattered fights be-
tween whites and negroes and be-
tween policemen and negroes who
fired from housetops, from dark al
leys and other points of vantage.
The call for troops to quell the
outbreaks resulted in four regiments
of national guardsmen being mobi-
lized.
Five of the dead are negroes and
two are whites.
There was no concerted battle by
the blacks, the outbreaks covering a
large area.
Chief of Police Garrity at late
hour said it was impossible to make
an exact estimate of the casualties
because of the contradictory reports,
Riots Start as Work Stops.
The riots which started Sunday on
the South Side beaches, were renew
ed when negro laborers began leaving
the big industrial plants and by dusk
more than a score of desperate out
breaks had occurred. Whites began
dragging negroes from street cars,
the negroes retaliated with stones
and knives. Street cars in the heart
of the "BIack belt" were tied up and
windows smashed.
"a flying squadron" of blacks
mounted touring car and riding at
full speed through the section, sent
a volley Of shots at group of whites
One white woman was injured, but
not fatally. The negroes were over
taken after a chase and placed under
arrest.
Shortly afterward mob of sever
al hundred blacks formed at Thirty
fifth street and began stoning po-
iceman. Gun fire was opened and
four of the negroes fell, all mortally
wounded.
Stab White Man To Death.
A white man in the same neighbor-
hood was dragged from a truck and
stabbed to death.
A negro chauffeur was killed by
whites a few minutes later in the
same block.
Scores of arrests we're made but
where the rioters we're found to be
unarmed they were released.
Negroes Loot Stores.
Negroes began looting stores Of
whites in one district shortly after
the firing of revolvers by a squad of
policemen in an effort to break up
fight over small purchase of gro
ceries. The police soon emptied their
guns.
The looting continued until a spe-
cial squad of policemen, armed with
rifles arrived. They fired low, telling
a half dozen blacks.
A white woman was pulled from a
street car by negro. He was soon
lying unconscious against the curb
The angry whites left him for dead.
Groups of blacks formed in foot
ball fashion and charged against

whites with razors and clubs. On one
corner the scene was like miniature
battle ground. Unconscious negroes
and whites dotted the street. AS
they regained consciousness they
were arrested or permitted to leave
the nighborhOod.
While the main battles were in
progress, women, blacks and whites,
battled away in front yards with
brooms and missiles. In one of these
fights white woman was knocked
unconscious and taken to a hospital.
In one fracas, on Thirty-F Fourth
street, negroes knocked two police
men unconscious and were drawing
pistols when group of discharged
negro soldiers came to the rescue of
the whites. In another battle soon
after three policemen were shot. One
may die.
In an effort to prevent quick dis
patch Of rifle bearing policemen
from one section to another, the ne
groes began cutting telephone and
teleghaph wires.
The | ] cks began firing on street
car conductors and motormen when
they refused to allow negro passen-
gers to board their cars because of
threats made by white passengers.
One conductor was reported shot in
the leg.
Ambulances and patrol wagons
threaded their way through the black
belt throughout the early hours of
the night,
Negroes Go In Crowds.
The police said the negroes were
terror-stricken and appeared in the
streets only in groups which gathered
in alleys and then ran at full speed
to their destinations.
The police made a special effort
to break up secret meetings in halls
and flat buildings.
Patrol wagons threaded their way
through crowds and learders- in many
of the clashes were arrested. When
the negroes were brought to the sta
tions there were cries of lynch them

hurried to the Provident Hospital for
colored, which for several hours re-

The more seriously wounded ne
groes received at the hospital had

Try Making Your OtUr1
 Cough Remedy You can save about go, and have . better remedy than the ready
 made kind. Easily done.
zRS551TS1SRRSaSzS7S7TE

If you combined the curative proper ties of every known ready made" cough remedy, you probably could not get as this simple homemade cough syrup, which is easily prepared in a few min utes.
 Get from any druggist 21a ounces of Pinex. pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with ssyrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired. The result is a full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spells.
 This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause, of a cough and giv- g almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated' membranes so gently and easily that it is really astonishing.
 A days use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, whooping cough and bronchial asthma, there is nothing better.
 Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine e1- tract. and has been used for generations to break up severe coughs.
 To avoid disappointment. ask your druggist for '2J2 ounces of Pinex' with full directions, and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

LEGAL TENDER ACT.

Fifty-seyen years ago today. Feb. 25, 1862, was noteworthy date in the civil war. President Lincoln ap- proved the Legal Tender Act, passed by Congress, under which the United States Treasurer was authorized to issue s150. 100000 In notes. not bear ing interest, which were to be ac- cepted as legal tender for all debts, public or private, and to be received and paid out by the federal govern ment for all purposes except duties on imports and interest on the na- tIonal debt, these to be paid in gold This issue of paper currency gained the popular name of greenbacks, be- cause the lettering and devices on the back of the notes were printed in green. This circumstance, after the war, led to the application of the name Greenback party to the political organization which opposed the re- sumption of specie payments by the United States government.

BRITISH STRIKE
 MENACE GROWS
Miners Now Threaten to Join
 the Railroad Workers.

London, Feb. 25.-Robert simillie, intimates in an interview that the miners may join with the railway and transport workers to enforce their demands on the Government. He said that representative of 5he three unions will meet tomorrow to dis cuss the situation and decide whether a general strike Is advisable.
 Premier Lloyd Georges proposal thus far have not lessened the cer- tainty of a mine strike,'' said MT. Smillie. He has not manifested a disposition to meet us even half way regarding wages and hours. He has merely offered an advance equivalent to the increased cost of living since 1914. This is not satisfactory to us. He will not pledge nattonalization of the mines, merely promising to intro duce a bill in Parliament creating a committee to investigate the desira- bility of such a move. He must make a more definite pledge.
 ''The Premier Is non-committal re- garding payment of wages to jobless and demobilized miners. He said it is regarded as a national question, affecting not only the miners but all workers. We agree regarding the scope of the problem. but demand that the Government act.
 There is a strong possibility of the 1 Triple Alliance (miners, railwayman and transport workers) insisting on payment of wages to demobilized q members of the three unions and, if necessary, enforcing their demands jointly. The triple alliance will meet Tuesday for the purpose of discussing the entire situation and deciding whether to strike simultaneously"

AIMS ID CUT ALL
 PRICES AT ONCE
Redfield Board Expects to Re- lieve Uncertainty of
 Conditions.

Washington, Feb. 25. - The new government price stabiIizatton organ izatton being created at~the instance of Secretary of Commerce Redfeld is to be known as the industrial board of the Department of Commerce. It will be charged with stabilization of prices for basic commodities and the liking of a "Government fair price" expected to bring into place the large latent buying power of the coun- try
 Secretary Redfeld believes that only in this way can threatened stagnation be avoided and factories brought into full production.
 The whole situation, the Secretary believes, is matter of prices. Prices have not come down appreciably and the law of supply and demand is not yet back on the job, in his opinion. He is proceeding on the theory that while there is plenty of goods and money there is no demand because the entire business world is uncertain about prices and there is a general feeling that prices are too high and are about to come down.
 No merchant or factory buyer wants to stock up on a, down market. Secre- tary Redfield believes that if prices can be brought down with one clip and put on a basis that the govern | ment will approve as fair. that busi- ness will rapidly pick up and resume normal when the rainbow of coming lower prices fades.
 The full personnel of the industrial board will be announced as soon as ac- acceptances have been received. It | will be headed by George N. Peek. for
  tries Board. Hugh F'rayne, labor.rep- resentative on the War Industries | board, will be on the new board, and l Thomas c. Powell, director of capital | expenditures of the Railroad Adminis- | tration, will be the government repre- | sentative.
 l Fair prices arrived at by the new or ganization will be published. They will i be found through cooperation of pro- ducers, labor and the government.
 In announcing execution of the Red i field programme the Council of Ma tional Defence states:
 The immediate need for carrying out Secretary Redfield's programme is evident, for there exists an abnor- nal situation in the industrial world | a stagnation of business and indus trial activity. Mills and factories are idle or are producing but a, small part of what they are capable of doing and l building operations are at a stand l still
 l "One of the striking features of the | present situation Is the high price de- manded for practically all articles and ] commodities of trade and commerce. ! This high price condition is undoubt- l edly the cause of most of the business 1 inactivity and therefore also Is the | cause of the widespread unemploy- ! nent of labor.
 While living costs of the present are unusually high and will continue high until there are substantial re- auctions in the cost of the necessary staple foodstuffs, it is believed that there is satisfactory latent buying pow CT in the Country-an abundance of
 money-but money that is not beirfg used to employ or to purchase goods
 and materials

TODAY,S ANNIVERSARY.

Capt. Ericcson's famous ironclad. the Monitor, was formally commits stoned and turned over to the govern ment of the United States f1fty-seven years ago today. The strange craft had been launched Jan. 30, 1862, and the sentiment 1t inspired was largely one of derision. That this contempt for the ''pepperbox'' vessel was ill., founded was conclusively shown less than a fortnight later. It was also fifty-seven years ago today that the telegraph lines were taken over for the first time by the Union govern ment, and an order issued prohibiting the publication of army news until authorized.
