The workers had lost their headquarters, and | were forbidden by the guard from congregating in the relief store. They were spread along the streets, in little groups, denouncing the out- rage. We decided on a meeting. “On Union Platform” Even our platform of railroad ties had completely disappeared in the night. We waited on the empty lot back of the headquarters, and the strike committee went out to notify the strikers. Soon they be- gan pouring in. We rolled out an old wrecked Ford, placed the some- what battered union sign, rescued from the ruins, over it, and we had| a platform. When I opened the | meeting there were more than 2,000 | present. There were at least 50) deputies and police there. It became evident almost at once that the destruction of the head- quarters had not had the effect de- sired by the mill owners. Never had enthusiasm reached such a high pitch. The first burst of cheering | came when I declared: { “We are standing on the platform | of the union in a very literal sense | today.

Whitewash Company in Killing of Five in Lansing Dam Collapse LANSING, Mich, (By Mail),— The Folwell Contracting Engineer- ing Co, will be whitewashed in the death of fiye laborers who were killed last Friday when the coffer dam at the Logan Street viaduct col- lapsed. The workers were killed when they were buried under a mass of broken timbers and twisted meial, in the water and mud of the Grand River. Two workers were seriously in- jured in the collapse. The contrac tor, Folwell, whose criminal careless- ness caused the collapse, has not been criticized by “investigators,” The relatives of most of those killed and injured cannot be located, as some of the workers came from other cities. It is a deliberate policy of the company to hire workers whose relatives are unknown so that compensation might be saved, STEEL TRUST AT FULL BLAST.
