3 DIE IN GARY CAR CRASH

Steel Strikers Are Killed When Street Cars Collide Under a Railroad Viaduct. Gary, Ind., Sept. 26.—Three United States steel corporation strikers were killed and twenty-five other seriously Injured when two street cars collided head-on under the viaduct of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad tracks at Buchanan street, here. The crash occurred as a result of defective signals which failed to cause one of the cars to take the siding. The cars came together just as the southbound car turned sharply around the curve which ends at the viaduct’s edge.
