the indictments.
The committee will be unable to
get the inside facts of what action
will be taken by the last military court
in the cases Of Mother. Jones and her
fellow members OF the United Mine
Workers who were tried on various
charges of murder conspiracy to muir
der and melting to murder.
Governor Hatfield has taken the
position that the record of this com
mission is not a public document. He
also insists that while some of the
persons tried, later confessed their
guilt and he is not prepared to make
the facts public at this time because
of the inflamed state of the public
mind but in his communication Gov
ernor Hatfield stated that he was
withholding these facts only until
public confidence should be restored
and that he planned criminal prose-
cution In civil courts. In this state
ment he has convinced the committee
that he is acting in good faith and
that 1t will not demand the records,
although 1t has the right to do so un-
der the resolution authorizing the in
quiry. The committee was well sat
isfied with its personal examination OF
the strike zone which lasted until af.
ter 8 o'clock last night. For twelve
hours 1t traversed the entire trouble

The "Self-Interest
League Of
America

The most natural the most
human, if not the most altruis-
tic, bond is that of self-interest.
There are thousands of asso-
Citations, leagues, and societies
all over the country that bear
witness to the uniting force of
common, personal cause.
The biggest society in the
country is one that has no pres,
ident, no bylaws, nor, in fact,
any specified organization. Yet
practically every men and wo-
man belongs to it.
1t is the Society of Newspa.
per Readers. Their only bond
is that of self-interest.
All men and women know
that in order to be able to hold
their own with their neighbors
they must learn what the news
papers have, to tell them, not
only IN regard to general
events of the day, but also in
regard to the specific actiyi-
ties of the locality in which
they live.
The advertisements in the
reliable newspapers are no less
important and are very apt to
be of more lasting value In this
matter of self-interest.
Being a member of the league
means that you are up-and-
doing. progressive, and alive to
your own welfare.
