As the autos containing the scabs pass- ed, a bottle of citrate of magnesia was accidentally dropped by a passerby who had purchased the bottle at one of the neighborhood drug-stores, Shoot First, Look Later, The police without waiting to inve- stigate the cause or nature of the re- tort which the bottle made as it broke on the cement sidewalk, drew their guns and immediately began firing at the union business agents, pickets and passerby. The union members and passersby immediately began to scurr- ry for shelter not realizing what the shooting was about. Some of the scabs jumped out of the automobilés and also began to run for shelter in the neighboring doorway. In the shooting, Harry Bejnarowicz, business agent of Loc. 39, Amalgama- ted Clothing Workers, was shot and the head of one of the scabs was un- doubtedly struck by the “efficient” detectives and police that are guard- ing the “interests” of the Interna- tional Tailoring Company. Bejnarowicz was immediately arrest- ed and later taken to the Bridewell hospital where the doctors found three bullets lodged in his body. Beulin Block, William Rocco, Mike Di Novi and Herbert Eisenhammer, business agents of the union were also arrested by the police for “bombing” the seabs. Casmice Bogalski, Harry Edelman and Sam Hartzen, three innocent passers- by, who are neither on strike nor members of the union were seized by the police and held as participants in the “bombing”, were taken to the Des- plaines street police station and later released on $2,000 bail each furnished by the union, After the shooting and arrests by the police an investigation disclosed that the “acid bomb” which was meant to maim and disfigure the scabs was nothing moré than a bottle of citrate of magnesia, a laxative, purchased at a neighborhood drugstore, The case against the arrested pas- serby and the union business agents which came up before the Desplains Street police court has been postpom- ed until Dec, 3rd,
