Not a hospital Exaggerated reports of men injured on the Q

A Chicago Daily News driven report says Burlington roundhouse injuries were handled on site rather than at hospitals. It describes two grievous accidents plus several lesser injuries among new crews, with officials denying a hospital status and noting doctors at St Luke's. A bystander attempt to wreck a train led to a $2500 bond for a suspected instigator, while strike committees and Canadian railway leaders discussed the dispute.
