for after an effort for an appeal, which
Judge MulquceE said would take some
time TO secure. Mrs. Sinclair appeared
at the Tombs and insisted that the fine
be paid. Sinclair paid it under pro-
test" and fifteen minutes later Joined
his comrades at % Broadway.
Sinclair Heads Dead March"
The dead march" was in full swing
at his coming. and there was no sign
Of n halt. He took his place at the
head of it: behind him came Maude

The crowd gave them advice. most Of

He kept the unapprecative moving on,
for as one Of the crowd put it. the con-

Commissioner Woods's decision to per-
nit the patrolling OF the Standard OIL
Building was one Of the most important
rulings ever made by Police Commits

and brought public attention to the
conditions in Colorado.

added. the latter assuring us that our
arrest was without his knowledge or con-
sent. The picketing will continue as long
az the conditions In Colorado remain un-
settled
Rockefeller has tried TO shift the blame
for the conditions in that state by saying
that he only controls 10 per cent OF the
stock of the Colorado Fuel Company.
This is absurd on the face OF It, for he
admitted before a Congressional commit
too that he was controlling factor "a
