OF the thirty lots remaining but four

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
Those who have attempted to resist
the members of this gang in their
methods of extortion have either been
summarily dismissed from their en-
ployment or have received Black Hand
letters. One Italian banker who sought
to warn his fellow countrymen against
members of the gang was warned that
he would die il he did not desist
At least five persons have these let
ters to show.
These are facts which are easy to
prove.
These letters have a dagger in one
corner in black ink, and read: IF you
do not stop sending the information
you will lose your tongue" The word
ing of the note is in pencil.
PUZZLED HIGH OFFICIALS.
It is freely limited that officials high
in the employ of the corporation have
been cognizant of conditions here for
a long time They have been trying
to ferret it out The publicity given
to the affair at this time is the out
come of the recent trials OF number
of timekeepers who are alleged to have
padded the payrolls of the company in
connection with foreman of one of
the largest gangs in the plant The
timekeepers are Thomas Bloomhoff and
John Caldwell and the foreman, John
Thomas. These men have been bound
over to the superior court for trial
William Halals. superintendent OF the
carpenters department of the steel
company. with five hundred men under
q inn cd nfjo

state labor laws, in having taken SIS

position.
ANOTHER ARREST MADE.
Following closely upon the arrest Of
Hallas came the arrest of Risto Stoi-
eff last night. assistant to Hallas on
the complaint of Koceff Tanasoff. who
swears he paid s25 for his position.
with the understanding that it should
have more TO pay for three months
After two or three months, however. an
attempt was made to have him pay ten
dollars a month more. Upon his refu-
sal to do so he was discharged When
taken to the police station last night
Stojciff made a complete confession and
stated that Hallas had given him mon
ey and advised him to leave the coun-
try Immediately. Hallas also bought
him steamship ticket to Bulgaria,
which was found upon his person In
addition to this he had SIPS in cash
and draft for 500 francs. which he
stated he had also received from Hal
