SOCIALIST COLONY FAILED.
Induced Men to Work Without Pay.
Made Paupers out of 80 Fam
lilies i'm Short Time.

Milton, Okla, Feb. 12.-"Social.
ism at work" in Oklahoma has prov
ed failure at Milton and. after get
ting the labor of about fifty working
men from one to six months, Social
lst leaders have turned them out of
the colony without paying them for
what they have done.
Large numbers of men were in
duced to come to the Socialist col
ony from all parts of the State, by
advertisements in publication call
ed the Underground Savage" and.
as result, Socialism has made pau
pers out of at least fifty families.
They have caused children to go
barefooted all winter and, when the
mothers wanted to give the little
ones "a change of clothes. they would
have to send them to- bed until their
clothes could be washed and patch
ed.
They have caused people to hate
cdSh OAhci WhO WSlc Sli du6tlS Oc-
fore coming here, and big calibre
guns have been brought in to main
tain the Socialist doctrine of broth
erly love"
They have children in Milton who
have not been able to attend school
all year because their fathers could
not buy clothes for them, although
they have been working every day.
If a man wants clothing for his
family, he has to go to the manager
aud let his wants be known. but il
is ,ery seldom that the clothes are
roTthcoming-w what does go out
whether for men. women or children
is selected by the manager and not
tra person who is to wear it.
They have been running a mine
here contrary to the mining laws OF
the State, and they won't have any
thing 10 do with a labor organize
sir'. ar any sort of labor union
it has been on the unfair" list con-
tinuously, Notwithstanding the fact
that appeals have been made to high
officials of the United Mine Work
ers, some of whom are Socialist
leaders. 1a adi ~
Some have said that the Socialist
party has nothing to do with the Mil
ton colony, but the colony holds a
charter from the State organization
and its delegates are recognized in
Socialist conventions, notwithstand-
ing the fact that protests have been

educational assistance should be rem
dered the full-blood Indian children.
Many of them, especially in the
Choctaw Nation, live in sparsely set

facilities to ever be educated without
help. am, however, inclined to be-
lieve that the public school is the
solution of the trouble and that help
extended should be along that line.
would not object to having an in
dustrial school for such children,
but this. of course, could not ac-
commodate all such cases, and what
ever funds are used for such purpose

of those not so benefited not en-
croached upon.
