pose, 1t would be necessary to swear in

Richard within the last two days as a
start in settling the trouble permanent

tentative of three days in jail for his
violation of the city rules. and IN ex-
ira sentence Of $50 and one day or

you read that pamphlet In court and
let the public hear? What's the mat

Sullivan was fined SO or three days
In Jail. The literature which he was
peddling pertained TO the wrongs done
the members of the I. w. W. organi-
cation in Sioux City and asked that
the people aid in righting them. It was
written in q wildly .nflammable style
and expressive of lnarchism.
The remaining ten II the men were
charged with disturbing the peace and
fined 800 or thirty days in Jail each.

would not work. The remainder then
fell in line and refused the food unless
their fellow workers were given some.
The request was denied and the hunger

that they have gone for two days
without food, the men still appeared
