James F. Phillips James F. Phillips (November 20, 1930 – October 3, 2001) was an American environmental activist who was known in the Chicago area during the 1960s for his direct action activities under the pseudonym The Fox. One of those actions was against Armour Dial (Henkel Corporation). Phillips discovered they had been polluting Mill Creek that emptied into the Fox River. The company was violating a 1962 law that limited the amount of chemicals they could dump into the creek. Nothing was done about it so he organized a group who went around to supermarkets all over the United States and put stickers on bars of Dial soap. The stickers issued a warning that "Armour Dial Kills our Water" or "Armour Dial Pollutes our air". Mike Royko, a Pulitzer Prize winning Chicago newspaper columnist called Phillips's attack "the most ambitious anti pollution prank of his colorful career." The prank was so successful, it started an independent boycott of all Armour-Dial products. Phillips seven year battle with Armour Dial culminated in the state of Illinois suing Armour Dial's Montgomery plant for violating Illinois pollution standards.
