PROBERS RETURN
TO CAPITAL

Washington, March Subcommit-
tees of the Hous mines and mining
committee have returned from the
Colorado and Michigan strike zones.
Congressman Taylor, of the Michigan
subcommittee, is quoted as declaring
that the action Of the copper owners
union is "un-American." It is claim
ed that this committee will take action
on the practice of shipping armed
men into a state under the orders of
employers. An expert will be sent to
Boston to go over the books of the
Calumet4Hecla company, after which
the companies and the strikers will
be allowed fifteen days in which to
file briefs. Congressman Foster,
member of the Colorado subcommit-
tee, is quoted as saying that condi-
lions in that state are "deplorable and
shocking" He intimated that drastic
legislation would he recommended as
a result of their findings. eve have
actual admission, he said, from the
mine companies that they issued com
pany checks to pay their men instead
of post:l orders as required by law,
while charging the regular federal
rates for their checks There have
been many killings. We have had
evidence of men imprisoned and init
dated in the tented cities over which
militia-men in the pay of the mine
companies stand gaurd, with the result
that these men had to fee over the
hills to escape" Congressman Keat-
ing, of Colorado, in a statement, su g.

attendant evils would be eliminated

enough to be given shelter in the

Chicago, M arch 5.-on1their return
from the copper country to Washing
ton, the Congressional Investigating
committee listened to testimony on the
Michigan strike in this city. The most
interesting was that furnished by
Henry Batter, who acknowledged he
was employed by the Ascher Detec-
tive agency, Of New York, to go into
the copper country and stir up trou-
ble:" Bathter said: 1--WE were given
to understand that we were to 60
among the strikers whenever they
eongregated and encourage them to
commit acts of violence, SO as to give
the militia and deputies cause for dis
persing Them
Do you mean to tell this commit
tee that so-called gunner, or detec-
tives, or sluggers, are hired to go in
to communities where there are strfk-
es for the sole purpose of beating up
men and starting troubIe?" asked Con.
gresham Taylor
I've been in that business for sew
en- years" answered Batter.

and children, imprison them by the
scores and do everything to break
the strike.
Colnar told how he was arrested
for the terrible cri of asking a scab
to ioin the United Mine Workers. He
was placed in the cellar of house
that ran rampant with vermin and
held there for two days. On the sec
ond day he was taken outside by two
militiamen. A place the size of a
grave was marked off and he was told
to dig hole six feet deep. While
militiamen walked about him making
such remarks as '1Shall we bury him
in a blanket" did you hear what
time he is to be shot?", etc., Colnar
was prodded with bayonets by Others
Of these hell-hounds of capital and
urged to dig faster Frantic at the
theGght OF. not seeing his wife and
five small children again and fearful
for their future, this citizen of the
United tSates finally fell unconscious
into his own grave. He was removed
to the cellar cell and on the following
morning released without any further
comment.

Citizens Of the United States who

the rights of citizen under the con
stitution can never realize the tyran-
MES, the expressions suffered by the
striking coal miners at the hands of
the Colorado National Guard-a bunch
OF barrel house buns and imported
assassins Of the operators who have
been brought to Colorado to murder
their enslaved brothers.
| These militiamen were sent Ito the
strike zone by the conporation-owned
governor under the guise of 'tpreserv-

the strike. They have left nothing
undone to accomplish this purpose.
Nine Year Old Victim.
In their efforts to perpetuate the
reign of terror in this district the lit
tile children have not been overlooked.
Little nine-year-old Justus YanHnski
was one of the many children who
have suffered almost unbelievable
cruelties at the hands of these militia
thugs.
His mother had only left the house
TOT town when two militiamen drove
up to the door in a buggy. While
the captain lay drunk in the buggy
the other entered the house. Trunks
were demolished and the house com
pletely wrecked in his search for loot.
He finally discovered 5000 in the
sleeve OF an onld coat and stuck it In
his pocket. TIE fiend then went to the
Kitchen, ate several eggs, and threw
the rest on the floor.
Little Justus pleaded with the thug
to stop destroying things and not to
take the money, saying his mamma
would whip him. He was answered
with a vicious kick, The other little
children began to cry when they saw
their brother hurt, and the hell-hound
viciously attacked them, kicking the
smallest child in the nose and break
ing it. Her nose bled for days and
prevented her from telling her story
to the congressional committee at
Trinidad. n

issue these orders in the notorious
company stores where United States
postofices are located.
The companies issued these orders
to the miners, who. ignorant of postal
regulations, thought they were max

by the miners, and ordered the tents
of the miners removed, under fnstruc-
lions from Judge Dayton. The miners
had not removed them and did not do
so when ordered by Williams. The
work Of forcibly taking them down
was then begun under the direction
of Williams.
Driven from the home they had paid
for, thes trikers then repaired to the
property of a Mr.. Moore, about 700
feet away, and across the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tracks, andp itched
tents again This property formerly
belonged to the Miners Union and a
Union hall stood here until THE COM

years ago. But thee rider of Judge
Dayton, it seems reached even here,
and the miners were not allowed to
occupy the property they had owned
years ago, for Williams followed them
there and ordered the removal Of the
tents.
However, the miners, with the famil-
les, having no where else to go, stay
ed there, and regretted their tents.
This has been decided as placing all
Of them in contempt Of court. 1t

Total acres on which final proof

Those figures, which are official.
were given out yesterday by Regis

1T proves that there was a large
amount of business for one land Of
flee. But the time that business
counted was between three and five
years ago"
New business-the sort upon which
the revenue of a land office can be
based-dropped to the minimum dur
ing June
Strangely enough the majority Of
new claims filed during June were
on ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and this cuts
down the total somewhat, for re-
linquishments do not count the same
as filings on public land, never be-
fore taken up under the homestead
