shun It with Instinctive dread, for they've
seen a lot of funerals with Just the same
kind of caskets.
That little casket has something to do
with the strike.
"We want to give the kids a chance and
keep em from filling those caskets," a
striker said as he walked along Twenty
second street, not far from the strike (one.
"And, let me tell you, a man can't, raise
n family on $1.50 a day or on S2 a day.
Thafa what this strike Is all about. Trices
are 'way up and a poor working-man hasn't
got a chance. It's hunger to stay In, so
we had' to 'quit and fight for a raise.."
The speaker's eye was black from a
strike fight he'd been taken for a "scab,"
he said. "Some of the Poles have mur
der In their hearts," he said, 'but the
thinking; men don't approve of trouble.
They're for peaceful ways. But I guess
maybe you'd understand If you had a .bunch

DEMAND "TURNErj DOWN"
A flat "turn-down" of the strikers' de
mand and subsequent threats of violence
by the "employes in case of "undue" polfce
Interference were the net result of a confer
ence today between a committee of strikers
and. George B. Hennessy, superintendent
of' the Standard Oil plant here.
Hennessy told the strike that the com
pany refuses to raise wages and to rein
state strikers convicted of violence.
William Melcher, head of the strikers'
committee, was ejected from the conference
by Ilenneasy's order. He promptly called
a mass'-meettng of strikers for this after
noon. He said he would counsel modera
tion on the part of the strikers, but, added
that "If strike-breakers are1 brought here
to .take the bread out of tfie wdrkera'
mouths, I cannot control the situation; the
men will fight back."
The conference In Hennessy'a office ended
with Hennessy'a announcement that the
company was "not going to let any bunch
of men run Its plant" Then the com
mittee was shown out of the building.

a member of one of three gangs of auto
mobile thieves, whose depredatloan in this
city since January 1 have resulted In the
theft of more than S00 cars.

same Investigation, was discharged today
for lack of evidence.
SEEK WHOLE OANO
The police and detectives are by no means
satisfied that the capture of the ten men al
ready under arrest completes their labors
and are hopeful that they will obtain state
ments from some of the prisoners that will
lead to the arrest of a doien other members
of the gangs who are still at liberty.
The capture of Callahan was a sequel to
two spectacular round-ups made on Satur
day and Sunday mornings In the north
western section.
Spurred by the success of these captures,
city and private detectives working on the
case are hopeful that their efforts will
triumph and that hundreds of (stolen ma
chines will be restored to their owners and
the purlolnera landed In Jail.
Acting under direction of Lieutenant
Little, of the Nineteenth and Oxford streets
'station, the sleuths worked all night In a,
