Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-Many more
arrests were made here today in con-
nection with a reported anti-Huerta
plot. AS was the case last night,
a number of prominent men were
among those taken in custody.
While it was confirmed that a big
party of prisoners was brought from
Manzanillo and locked up, charged
with participation in a pro-Carranza
demonstration, it was not known def
nitely that foreigners, including some
Americans were among them.
With enough members of the new
senate now at the capital to consti-
tute a quorum it seemed that con-
gress will meet Thursday as schedul-
ed. The preliminary work of organ
ization was briskly in progress. Many
members seemed doubtful, however,
of the legality of their own election.
The government has suppressed
much of the news of rebel success in
the north and few of the native pop
ulation know of the fall of Juarez
or that the rebels seemed on the
verge of capturing Victoria, the cap
ital of Tamaulipas state.

ASK CONGRESS TO PROBE
THE MICHIGAN STRIKE

Seattle, Nov. lS.-COnSIess oual
investigation OF the Calumet strike is
demanded by the American Fedora
ton OF Labor in a message sent TO
Washington today, following the
passing of resolutions introduced in
the convention mere by John Mitchell
and Joseph D. Cannon.
The federation also pledged itself
to do all in its power to aid the strik-
ing miners and their wives and chill
dren who are braving the Michigan
winter in the fight for their rights
A committee appointed by President
Gompers is busy today taking up
collsetion for the strikers and are
preparing to ask their unions to vote
strike benefits.
In a stirring speech before the con-
vention, Cannon described the nor
rors OF the conditions of Calumet
which drove the men to strike. How
they worked II hours day in the
deep levels of the Calumet and Hecla
mines, and how, in 400 foot slopes,
5000 feet from the bottom OF 5000
foot shafts, the only air the miners
received was that which came
through the compressed air drills.
"The average life of a miner in
these diggings is three years. Then
he goes out a physical wreck, The
company dominates every phase Of
life at the mines, owning the houses
the miners live in and even the
churches. The mine company also
guarantees the preachers salaries.
Bosses who are brutes even go so
far as to dominate the home life of
the miners. We have affidavits from
women that would make your blood
boil And if a husband objects, he
is banished with his family, not only
from the mine but from the district,
as a troublemaker.
In his speech Cannon told how the
land on which the Calumet and Hecla
mine is located had been stolen from
the government through the st.
Mary's Falls Canal Company land
frauds.
These frauds, he said, had been
exposed in the trial of Chandler ver-
sus The Calumet & Hecla Mining
Company, and were also shown up
in the Congressional Records Of
1885.
After he had finished speaking,
Delegate Thomas Van Lear gave no.
tice that he would later introduce a
resolution asking for a government
suit to recover these lands.
Michigan delegates charged that
Governor Ferris had shown himself
merely the tool of James McNaugh-
ton superintendent of the mine.
When told of the outrages commit
ted by drunken militiamen on women
and children at Calumet and of the
hiring of imported thugs to start
riots, Ferris is said to have replied,
that drunken militiamen were not
an ISSUE" and that he could not
help it if the sheriff did not enforce
the law about importing men.
Soldiers unfit to wear the uni
form of any country, most of them
less than "a years of age, patrolled
the streets of the small towns in the
Calumet belt in a drunken condi-
ton" declared John B. Lennon,
treasurer of the A. F. of L., who was
sent to investigate conditions in the
strike zone. These rufians insult
ed women and girls, so that, old as
| am, it was difficult for me to re-
strain myself, and refrain from TAX
ing them by the throat and pitching
them into the ditch"
