Represents Conditions In Ohio,
Colorado and West Virginia Thor
oughIy Aired by the Board.
indianapolis, Ind, May 9.-The in
ternational executive board OF the
United Mine Workers of America has
adjourned, subject to the call of Pres
ident John P. White, after having
been in session since Monday morn
ing, discussing the conditions Of min
ers within the organization and espe-
cally those in Colorado, Ohio and
West Virginia
The board issued statement ad-
vising against q general strike "at
this particular time" but affirming In
strong terms It's support for the strik-
ing miners of Colorado. The report
also condemned John D. Rockefeller.
Jr, who, 1t was asserted, could have
avoided the loss of life and damage
to property in Colorado by saying "one
word" favoring a settlement through
a meeting between the representa-
tlves of the coal companies and the
representatives OF the striking EN-
ployes.
The report stated that hundreds OF
requests had been received urging
the calling of general strike In the
coal mines of the country, but that it
would be unwise to do so now, but
adding that if the conditions in Colo
RADIO became worse the policy OF the
board could be changed.
An appeal for aid was authorized by
the board when it was informed that
a large number OF individuals and or
ganizations had asked permission os
the international officers to contrib
ute to the fund for the upkeep of the
strikers in Colorado.
The appeal for aid, which is signed
by John p White president; Frank
]. Hayes, vice president, and William
Green secretary-treasurer is in part
as follows:
"W'll you aid them (the Colorado
strikers and families) in their strug-
gle against John D. Rockefeller Jr.,
and the interests which he repre-
sents? The request Of the president
of the United States through his per-
sonal representative that Mr. Rookie
feller use his influence in behalf Of
peace was refused When he denied
the PRESIDENTS request, he assumed to
be bigger than the government itself
Shall such condition be tolerated by
free people? Is Mr.. Rockefeller
and the interests which he repre-
sents larger and more powerful than
the government Of the United States E?
I'VE need your help, your sympa-
thy and your support. We appeal to
you to respond promptly and liber'
ally and thus place yourself fairly and
squarely on the side Of the people as
against John D. Rockefeller, Jr..
whose name is inser crably associated
with Standard Oil
In dealing with he hazardousness
OF the work OF the miner, the report
on the Colorado situation declares
that government statistics show that

Becoming tired Of life and wishing
70 die, Mrs. William Perry, residing
several miles from the city on the
North Liberty road, swallowed bi.
chloride of mercury Thursday after
noon. She died afterward. The suicide
was planned deliberately as the cir.

. will show
Shortly after noon, Mrs. Perry, who
was the wife of former MT. Vernon
policeman, told her husband that she
was feeling greatly fatigued and desir-
ed to rest. She said that she intended
to take bath and then lie down to
sleep for a time. She requested that
she not be disturbed until o'clock.
MIR. Perry left the house and re-
turned at about o'clock to secure a
knife with which TO cut seed potatoes
Mrs. Perry was preparing for her bath
and again asked that she be not called
until O'Clock.
Mr.. Perry, having A considerable
task before him, worked steadily and
did not notice the fight of time. He
was nearly finished with his work
when he heard q supper bell ringing

strange that he had seen no move.

he found her lying upon the bed, She
WAS fully dressed An attempt to
awaken her revealed the fact that she
was dead II is thought that she had
swallowed the poison Immediately af-
ter her bath and had then laid down to
await its dealy effect. No motive other
than that she was fatigued and tired
of life is given for the act.
Mrs. Catherine Phillips, Mrs. Perry's
mother, lived ut the home. Mrs, Phil
sipps had also been asked by her
5EFghter TO keep quiet and not disturb
her until o'clock. She went UP.
