FIFTH VICTIM
Of JOHN D. OIL
DIES, insane
Officials Blame Work
ers for the Tragedy
tspeeIaI to Ths DaIIy WORKED

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. e.
The fifth employe of the Stan
dard Oil company; victim of the
aduIteration of gasoline with
tetraethyI lead, has died in a
straight jacket. raving and
violently insane.
The death of five employees in
the Standard Oil company at
the Bayway plant, and the con-
finement of SO more in the Re-
construction Hospital h ere,
most Of whom are insane, has
exposed the deadly toll taken by
the Standard Oil in making mil
lions of dollars for Rockefeller.
The Standard Oil company admitted
that they knew Of the danger to the
men in working with the lead, but the
employees were not fully informed that
they were in danger of insanity and
death. In spite of the toll of death.
the Standard Oil, true to their disre-
gard for human life where profits are
concerned, has limited that they will
refuse to pay cent to the raving
victims of their greed, and the famil.
les of those they have killed. An OF.
fetal of the Standard Oil has sgiven
out statement that because the EN-.
ployes were cautioned TO wear rubber
gloves they should have known Of the
great danger.

Another example of the indif-

of permitting the Chicago, Mil

ing class district on the north
west side for a switching yard,
took toll of at least thirteen
lives, mostly if not all working
people, and seriously injured
twice as many more.
Conductor Shows Company to Blame.
An east bound North avenue car
approached the railroad tracks which
run north and south near Halsted
street. THE gates were down" said
conductor Olson, "and the fiagman
was out with his lantern. We waited
while switch engine and string of
cars passed over the crossing.
Then the gates were raised and
gave the motorman the signal. We
started across the tracks, but when
our car was half way across a freight
car shot out of the darkness. Our car
was struck in the middle and over
turned. There we're forty or fifty
people on it. When regained con-
seriousness men and women We're
strewn all over the street and screams
Of the dying filed the darkness"
Rich Protected While Paar Killed.
For years and years the working
class of the northwest side have pro-
tested vainly at the. city government
permitting the Milwaukee railroad,
one of the richest in the country, to
imperil their lives continuously by
using the tracks laid thru their
busiest streets as switching yard.
They have also pointed out that
where railroad tracks pass through
wealthy district farther north, the
rich people are carefully protected by
elevation or depression of the street
or of the railroad itself at the expense
of the railroad. But in the district
where workers live, where the catas-
trophe in which the Milwaukee rail-
road was allowed to murder a score
of workers who slave at night, the
dangerous open crossings are allowed
to stay as it would cost something for
the railroad to make them safe.
Employing Victims to Make More.
Another angle on the slaughter
Sunday morning is the practice of this
and other railroads, giving such jobs
as crossing guard to old employees,
often half blind and cripped up in
many cases by previous accidents in
which the company buys off the vic
timized worker by promising that if
he eoesn't sue them for the injury
they are responsible for, they will
give him job for life"
Corporation Lawyers Hotfoot.
No sooner had the massacre occur
ed than the railroad claim agent
lawyers and doctors were rushed to
the scene. These vampires, trained in
trucking unwary victims, knowing
that the company is at fault and may
be sued, try to get the injured and
dying workers to sign some paper or
make some statement waving claims
against the company or to agree to a
settlement for ridiculously small
sums, and, if the victims refuse, to
make some statement that they "are
not hurt much"--to use against them
later.

the following rules for the guild
ance of owrers and prospective own
crs.
Garage bills, gasoline, repairs.
etc.-may be deducted as business
expense, when an automobile Is
used wholly for business purposes
or in trade, profession, or farming
When used partly for such purpose,
and paI lv for the pleasure or con
venience of the taxpayer and his
family, the cost may be prorated
and that part attributable 10 bust
ness or the other pursuits mention

Tie same rule applies with regard
to the deduction for depreciation
which is allowed when an automo
bile is used wholly in business
trade, profession Or farming, and
must be apportioncd accordingly
when used partly for such parpose,
and partly for pleasure. If an
automobile is used almost exclusive

depreciation is not allowed.
Price Can't Be Deducted
The purchase price Of an automo
