of the National Guard, arrived in response to an emergency call. They leaped into the middle of the melee, ordered dispersal of the crowd and warned that the city was under martial law. But the fights continued. It was estimated that 1000 persons, including several shouting, clawing women were in the throng. Twenty-five men who attempted to enter the plant in a body were set upon and driven back. A special deputy appeared with a gun and was disarmed quickly. A lone policeman, swinging his night stick freely, rescued a “back-to-worker” from the crowd. One of the slugged men was taken to a hospital unconscious. A man identified as “Red” Alger, a nonunion member, drew a knife to defend himself from the angry crowd. He and a patrolman were pushed against a wall. Mr. finally was rescued and taken to jail “for his own protection.’ Military courts replaced all civil courts, Governor Kraschel proclamation last out the troops “for pose of preserving protection

Buckshot from a shotgun felled her in a gutter, and a second charge penetrated her feet from the soles through the arches Republic Steel first sent “beautiful bouquet” of flowers regrets,” she said. After Ler baby was born—she explained as an afterthought that she was pregnant at the time of the shooting—the company tried to settle for $5000 and finally paid $7500 “Mrs. Reed has the all the officers of our company,” Mi Wi hite testified “We just don't know how these things are going to be avoided entirely unless there is a maintenance of law and order by public officials. As far as I can ascertain, Mrs. Reed was not shot by any employee of Republic.” “Did any attorney ever advise you Republic had no liability in Mrs. Reed’s case?” Senator La Follette asked Mr. White “I can't say,” was the answer.

Need for Principals’ Direction at Parley.
Times Special CHICAGO, July 20.—Guidance that will enable high school students
need of secondary education, Dr. DeWitt S. Morgan, School Superintendent,
today.
He was addressing the Confer- | ence of Administrative Officers of |
Public and Private Schools at the University of Chicago. Instead of an adjunct to education, guidance should furnish the
| base point for all educational plans and the basis on which the high !
school's curriculum is built, Mr,
Morgan contended.
If the high school principal ad-
ministered his school with a guidance philosophy, secondary education would soon take a new form, Mr. Morgan told the Conference. “Specifically this would mean that the high school principal would conceive it as his responsibility to uti-

fundamental. objective — helping | youth to become adjusted occupa- | tionally and otherwise to the Sotiety | to which it goes.” A principal of a high schoo! of 500 |
