ONEIS DEAD IN
TYPHOID WAVE
New Bethel Youth Victim of
Fever, Doctor De-
CIareS.

A victim of the typhoid epidemic
sweeping New Bethel because of al
legged inSanitary conditions, Ralph
Leonard, %, New Bethel, died early
today. The family doctor, DR.. B. H.
Boone. Acton, said the death was
caused by the fever.
Mr.. Leonard was one of the first
victims of the painful fever and had
been i'll two weeks. County health
authorities could not be reached to-
day for official statements.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Alice Leonard, and brother,
Donald Leonard. Funeral services
will be held at Thursday in the
New Bethel Baptist church.
DR.. Boone said that conditions in
New Bethel had become acute and
that an investigation should be
launched. He said also that an
open ditch might have brought on
the illness of the youth and eight
others who are suffering from the
disease now.
Wells are used as water sources in
the community and it was thought
by DR.. Boone that possibly sewage
had seeped in from nearby out
houses.
The youth had been inoculated'
against typhoid fever only two and
a half years ago, DR.. Boone said.

GALE MENACES
TAMP|CO AREA
Hurricane That Devastated
Salvador LaShes Mexico
Gulf Region.

By Times Special
MEXICO CITY, June 12.-Rains
driven by winds that increased
hourly in velocity dashed the Mex
lean gulf coast today as the first
great hurricane of the season moved
slowly and relentlessly toward it.
Moving northwestward, the storm
seemed likely to strike the Tamauli-
pas state coast before noon, be-
tween Solo La Marina and Mata-
moras, on the Texas border.
Government meteorologists said it
would pass northward of Tampico,
center of the rich oil district, where
people were camping in the open,
in terror.
Tampico barometers were falling
steadily.
Estimates of deaths mounted
hourly and the latest reports were
that between 1000 and $500 were
killed in Salvador while hundreds
were killed in Honduras.
Communications of all sort were
still seriously crippled in the area
over which the hurricane passed
and authentic estimates were impos-
sible.
A dispatch from San Salvador
said that a steamship sunk at the
mouth of the Lempa river, only one
funnel still above water. was be-
lieved an American craft.
The little republic was devastated,
other dispatches said. DISCOUNTED re-
ports showed ports destroyed, crops
ruined, villages devastated. Rivers
and lakes flooded wide areas and
mountain torrents caused landslides
which covered roads, railways and
homes. Bodies of cattle and human
beings footed down streams to-
ward the sea.
Rains were subsiding in Hon
duras, but reports of loss of life
were increasingly grave. The i'm
portant city of Ocotepeque, in the
west, was reported totally destroyed
and under water.

grimly determined to prevent the
landing of the Pinkertons.
1.-THE latter, however, did not seem
to appreciate the gravity of the
situation. They sought to intimi-
date the strikers by assuming a
threatening attitude and aiming
the muzzles of their shining re-
volvers at them.
"A moment of intense expectation
followed. Then shot was fired
from the boat and one of the strik-
ers fell to the ground mortally
wounded. A howl of fury and a
volley of bullets came back from the
line of the strikers and a wild fu-
Sillade was opened on both sides.
I'm vain did the strike leaders
attempt to pacify the men and to
stop the carnage-the strikers were
beyond control. The struggle lasted
several hours, after which the Pink
ertons retreated from the river bank
and withdrew to the cabin of the
boat.
Here they remained in the

find the fear that the most appalling industrial war in the
nations history is impending.
The workers don't want strike. All of them just

the things they've been doing without for long time and
they're paying up accumulated bills.

H. G. Prick. He fortified the Home
stead works and then announced a
reduction of wages.
A strike ensued and the steel COM
pany followed Jay Gould's example
and hired Pinkerton detectives to
defend themselves against the
strikers. The late Morris Hillquit
thus describes the famous battle of
July 6, 1892:
THE next step of the employers
was to import a force of 800 Pinker-
ton constables armed to the teeth,
who arrived by water in the early
morning hours of July 6. The
coming of these men precipitated a
scene of excitement and bloodshed
almost unprecedented in the annals
of the labor struggle of this coun-
try.
"As soon as the boat carrying the
Pinkertons was sighted by the
pickets, the alarm was sounded. The
strikers were aroused from their
sleep, and within few minutes the
river front was covered with a
crowd of coatless and hatless men

their single vote into halves
and, in at least two instances,
every candidate got at least
one-half vote.
Pandemonium broke loose when
Judge Clarence McNabb, breaking
precedent, nominated Mr.. Peters
through the loud speaker system,
speaking from the stage.
The Allen county delegation i'm
mediately began to parade. There
was struggle over the Lake county
banner and anti-Peters delegates
won. Whitley, De Kalb and Noble

swing in line.
The cheering was deafening. Then,
the band added to the noise. John

The ovation and parade went on
for more than fifteen minutes and
it was another quarter hour before

chairman in place of the ailing
Senator Frederick Van Mugs, could
get the convention to order. Sena-

with lumbago this morning.
Even then, city police had to sup

clearing the aisles.
Mr.. Manion, placed in nomination
by Chester R. Montgomery, was the
first of the candidates to come be-
fore the convention and he, too,
received an ovation, though it did
not approach Mr.. Peters.
Mr.. Rauch, Mr.. Cole, Mr.. Culbert-

y
In my first article, I described
briefly the industrial warfare from
1877 through 1886, conducted mainly
under the auspices of the knights
of Labor.
The Haymarket riot of 1886 and
other violence of that year served,
justly or unjustly, to discredit the
Knights and their place was taken
by the American Federation of
Labor, the Western Federation of
Miners, the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel Workers and
the like.
The first dramatic clash in the
nineties took place at the Carnegie
Steel works at Homestead, Pa, near
Pittsburgh, in July, 1892. The active
manager of the company was Mr..

The steel companies don't
want a strike, because their
steel production has been
mounting steadily.
Nobody here wants strike, be-
cause memory of the abortive 1919
holiday" still is green, but every
body is afraid the steel unions
frank and file committee" may be
able to- force a strike.
Let's talk to some steel workers.
They toll in the plant of the Illinois
Steel Company here, the largest
Steel-making unit in the world. 1t
is subsidiary of that industrial
giant of giants, the United States
Steel Company, and the plant here
is flung along seven miles of Lake
Michigan and is about two miles in
depth.
The men have just come off the
midnight shift. Many of them are
grimy and scorched from the heat
of the blast furnace.
A Stop at the Tavern
Most of them stop for glass of
beer. They wait until they get past
the tracks in South Gary, where
there used to be four solid blocks
of saloons and bawdy and gambling
houses.
There's still lot of all of them.
Well stop at the Four Brothers
Tavern. There were four brothers
when beer came in. Two departed
this life in a violent manner, but
the remaining two carry on under
the original name.
Let's talk to Ed, who's just
stopped for a beer. That isn't his
name, but he doesn't want his
name in the paper.
Ed is forty-ish. He's married and
has three children.
do I want strike? Don't be
foolish, buddy" says Ed. I'm TAX
ing some dough home every week
to the old lady, and I've been pay
ing up some of my back bills.
Course, I'm not making as much
money as 1 used to, but what hell,
I'm working.
"'Course, if the union calls a
strike, we'll have to go out, but I
don't want strike and I don't
think many of the boys do. If
you've got three kids at home, bud
dy, you're not very anxious to
strike"

the city where a red light CLEANS
from this house and that.

of young fellows. You get floor

Well talk to Jake. That's his
name, but he doesn't want his last
name in the paper.
Nav, I'm not so hot for strike"
says Jake "Still, at that, it would
be kind of exciting" he says. But,
of course, he's young one-not an
old timer
