WORKER BEATEN
IN MILL STRIKE
700 Resume PiCketing at
Three City Plants;
Violence Reported.

Striking hosiery mill workers to-
day resumed picketing of the three
mills, with between 700 and 300
strikers on the picket line after a
weekend rest, the mills being closed
Saturday and yesterday.
John Fisher, 25, of 1880 North
Illinois street, Real Silk worker, was
beaten severely by five men, said to
have been strikers, as he walked
near the mill today. He was taken
to city hospital for treatment.
Police we're notified by three Real
Silk workers that when they stopped
at 1855 West Thirty fourth street to-
day to pick up another worker,
strikers threw a brick through their
car windshield.
Following report of disorder near
Thirty fourth and Clifton streets,
police arrested three men riding in
car near the scene. They gave
their names as John Hagerty, 26,
Of 1418 Conner avenue; Jess Woods,
30, Of $50 East Walnut street, and
Russell Morris, 80, Of 232 Grant ave-
nue.. All three were said to be

Minor disorders marred the week
end. George Madden, $50 North
Parker avenue, a Real Silk mill en-
ploye, told police last night that five
men overturned his car while it was
parked in front of 2614 East North
street.
One man was struck on the head
with a baseball bat and several
others injured slightly at Riverside
park yesterday in a fight between
members of a Real Silk mill en-
ployes' baseball team, and men said
to be hosiery mill strikers.
According to police reports, the
fight started when one of the spec
tators called the ball players
"ScabS."

union official, who has been direct
ing the strikers here, went to Phila-
delphia Saturday to attend a meet
ing of the hosiery code authority,

excitement. Other members of the
gang, warned, opened such a fire
that the attackers retreated.
j. C. Newman, federal agent of
Chicago, fell during the sortie with
two bullet wounds.
While the attackers reformed
their lines and summoned aid from
Eagle River, Dillinger and his two
companions reached another nearby
resort owned by Alvin Koerner,
brother of a Milwaukee Alderman.
There they demanded a car.
Koerner informed them he had
none. AS they argued, a detail of
officers approached. The outlaws
opened fire. w. Carter Baum, Chi
cago federal agent, was killed. Carl
christensen, Spider Lake town
constable, fell critically wounded.
He was reported to have died later.
Car Is Communicated
The men Communicated a car
driven by Robert Johnson, tenant
of a resort cottage, and forced him
to drive them to Amigo, Wis,
where he was thrown out.
At least two other men, cornered
at a third resort, escaped in Ford
car which federal agents had bor-
rowed from a Rhinelander, Wis,
agency.
At dawn the agents and deputy
sheriffs reattacked the Little b.
hemia lodge. Tear gas bombs were
thrown into the lodge, forcing to
the open the three girls under ar
rest. None of the three would talk,
agents said.

his life was a long series of dan
gerous games played with evil
characters.
His career was a succession Of
CANDLES, of intrigue, forgery, white
slavery, confidence games. His
associates were apaches, murder
ers. thieves. card sharps and
politicians in high places. Yet,
through the thirty years when he
actively operated, he seemed
strangely immune to punishment
seemed untouchable for his sins.
The answer to this immunity was
bribery. He had an ever-ready

Three others were wounded.
including a department of
justice agent, Jay G. New
man, and two CCC workers.
The department of justice, by
means of airplane, automobile and
railroad, massed a dozen men at
the Dillinger raid early this morn
ing and an additional dozen had
reached the scene early today.
The following description of the
escape of Dillinger was given today
by the department of justice:
1.-THE division of investigation,
pursuing its investigation for the
apprehension of John Dillinger and
members of his gang. ascertained
that Dillinger was staying at a
roadhouse fifty miles north of
Rhinelander, Wis.
Agents of the division offices at
st. Paul and Chicago, both 500 miles
away, proceeded to this spot, arriv-
ing there Sunday night. Upon ap-
preaching the house their presence
became known by reason of some
watchdogs which were maintained
at the inn. Before the house could
become completely surrounded, three
men left the house and got into an
automobile.
CCC Workers Fail to Stop
"They were commanded to stop
and we're informed that the men
ordering them to stop were govern
ment officers. They did not stop
and agents of the division shot at
the tires of their automobile. I'M
mediately upon this being done
machine gun firing started from the
house and in the exchange of fire
between the house and our agents,
the three men in the car were shot,
one being killed and the other two
being wounded. 1t was later aScer-
tanned that these three men were
members of the civilian conServa-
ton corps, which has camps in that
vicinity.
Firing continued between the
house and our agents, who had by
that time surrounded the house
from the Landslide. Firing then
ceased in the house for time, and
two of our agents proceeded to a
residence in the vicinity to make a
telephone call to the town of Rhine
lander, in order to issue inStruc-
tions to other agents of the division
who we're due to arrive. Upon ap-
preaching the residence they were
stopped by a man and asked to
their identity.
when they informed this man
they we're government agents the
man started firing upon agents of
the division, killing agent w. Carter
Baum, and wounding in the head
special agent Jay G. Newman, both
attached to the Chicago office of
this division. With these two Spe-
cial agents at the time was a con-
stable, who was wounded fatally.
Three Cars Stolen
Subsequent investigation dis
closed that the man who shot and
killed our agent had called at the
residence to commander an automo-
bile belonging to the owner and fol-
lowing the shooting of our agents
this man stole an automobile and
departed from the vicinity
1T also was ascertained that two
