Strikers on Trial

Because II Is claimed that they ais.
saulted John Cunning and are there
fole In contempt Of court for yiolat-
strikers and two men claiming to
have been brought to Albuquerque
by the Santa ZEE to fill the vacant po-
sitions at the shops, were arrested
yesterday by a special officer and
placed on trial in the district court.
Yesterday at noon Officer Spivey
arrested o. Marinan. l.. II, Knobs,
c. A. Roepke. John Donahue, George
Hill, John jacobson, ID. Il. ellison and
+. J Weaver by order OF Judge Ba-
ker The first six named are strik-
ers, the last two are practically un-
known in this city, having recently
been employed in the east. The
charge dates from the attack on John
Cumming, a strike breaker. formerly
4 deputy sheriff, which III said ID
have occurred on the evening Of Aug.
18th. as Cunning was returning to
his lodging house after a spree.
Dunnlng was struck In the face
and thrown 70 the pavement and then
knocked senseless. Marinan, presi-
dent Of the Central Labor Union,
was in Cummings company when the
assault occurred.
All the evidence introduced by the
Santa Fe was to show that Marinan
became friendly with Cunning when
the strikehreaker was intoxicated,
afterward leading the e~x-deputy sher-
iff into an ambush. The two men.
ellison and Weaver, who claim to
have come to this city on Santa Re
transportation and then to have be-
come intimate with, the strikers in
stead Of working In the shops, tes-
titled that there was a deliberate
plan to waylay Cunning and impli-
Gated all three arrested but Jacob
