cans and that they had been furnishing
money for the socialistic club that had
been established at Cananea. He also gave
us two copies of a revolutionary circular
that had been widely distributed, together
with a number of other details.
While IL looked ridiculous to me that any
thing OF that kind could be done their

Mr. Greene adds:
All federation agitators were ordered out
