AS was received from this source OF

Is estimated by Commissioner Coleman

Secretary James renders "a monthly nc

Because of u peculiar accident be-

Commonwealth and the factory which
manufactures the license tags, Chief
Clerk j. NJ. Hayes. Jr.. has already is
sued license tag No. 10000, whereas
there are not that many licensed motor
cars In the State by at least 900. The
loss of 1900 numbered tags between No.
5000 and No. 10000 causes the unusual
situation.

Although the state law provides that
the revenue from the incense TAX on

used in the building of new roads. Com
missioner Coleman does not feel that
this Is the Ideal disposition to make of
this revenue. Like all men who have

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
LABOR FEDERATION TO DIS
CUSS THE STRIKE.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-A meeting Of the
executive committee of the American
Federation of Labor at Washington at
which the copper strike in Michigan
will be considered will be called by
Samuel Compers, president of the Or
ganization.
This was learned from Charles Fl.

Grafton of Miners, here today. He was
asked concerning rumors that an at
tempt would be made to call nation
wide strike in sympathy with the
Michigan and Colorado miners.
"Any such demand must be made on
the American Federation of Labor he
replied, apparently choosing his words
carefully. "If such thing is con-
sidered it would be considered by that
body"
Have you asked for nationwide
striker" he was asked.
There has been considerable pres
sure exerted that such a demand be
made. However, it may be said that
our own plans are in statu quo. I will
confer tomorrow with Charles F. Ma
honey, vice president of our organiza-
ton, Guy A. Miller and Yanco Ter
zich. members of the executive board
and we will! determine what further
a ton to take, now that Mr. Dens-
more has been unable to negotiate a
peace plan and the governor of Michi-
gan is about to make personal in
vestigation. Mr.. Mahoney is due here
at o'clock tonight and it is doubtful
if we can do more than have an in
formal chat at that time
Meyer will leave the hospital this
afternoon but his physician has or
dered him to rest quietly in his hotel
for another week.

Colorado Union Miners Are
Called Upon By Leaders
to Secure Weapons
"MOTHER" JONES is
PLANNING RETURN
Deportation of Agitator Is
Cause for Fresh Break
With the Soldiers

Denver, Colo, Jan. 5.-Preparations
were begun today by union officials for
the return of Mother" Jones to Trini.
dad, and other points in the southern
strike zone whence she was depOrted
by state troops yesterday. and while
these plans were in the making here
Adjutant General Chase, according to
reports to Gov. Ammons, had given or
ders in Trinidad and Walsenburg that
her appearance in any portion of the
strike region would result in immed-
late Imprisonment for her under the
incommunicado rule of the military
authorities. Deportation, said General
Chase this morning, would not be at
tempted again as the action of the
military authorities was merely to
warn, the labor agitator that her pres
ence in the strike region would not be
tolerated.
Gov. Ammons this morning was of
the opinion that General Chase con-
sidered he had good cause for his sum-
mary action in ordering Mother"
Jones deportation. and that he, as gov
ernor, would in all probability take no
action in the matter. 1t was known
that Adjutant General Chase, from the
fist day of military rule in the strike
region had declared that Mother"
Jones and agitators of her kind, would
not be permitted to visit among the
strikers or to make speeches at any
town directly affected by the strike
He took full responsibility for her
fcrcible election and remarked:
And If she comes back we will have
a nice little party for her
Gov. Ammons previously has stated
his disapproval Of her methods.
Union Men Indignant
At union headquarters here there
was much indignation on the part of
labor leaders who declared it an insult
to women that Mother" Jones, the
"angel Of the camp should have been
"man-handled' by troopers and insist
ed that she would return to defy the
authorities.
Mother" Jones went to a hotel inn
mediately upon reaching Denver late
yesterday and there told of the "out-
rage perpetrated upon an old woman"
by the soldiers. She was equally in
sistent that she would return to the
prescribed region, "just as any citizen
of the United States has the right to
do"
1t was announced today that Gov
Ammons would be asked to act sternly
in connection with the deportation not
only of Mother" Jones, but of several
strikers from the northern district and
he failing, said union officials, the fed
eral government would be asked to in
vestigate the matter on the grounds
that the state was standing idly by and
seeing the provisions of the United
States constitution set at naught.
Union leaders openly have advised
Ell strikers to arm themselves in order
that they might resist any attempt at
and the threat that
'Moher" Jones will return to Trinidad,
under protection of the strikers and
union men, has caused the fear that a
clash between the authorities and the |
strikers is imminent
