Sioux Falls, S. D., July 7.-Reg-

cultural districts of the state and
have men stationed throughout the
state who will make simultaneous
attempts to burn this seasons crops,
it was made known here.
Federal officers Nhave been ap-
praised of the plot and every effort
will be made to apprehend those
connected with it, it was said.

SOCIALISTS JAILED;
TREASON IS ALLEGED

Philadelphia. July 7.-Thirteen
young men and women Socialists ar
rested here for distributing alleged
reasonable literature are held in
jail under bail ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 for trial. Tow Of the six
women were charged with melting
to riot.
All were rounded up by the police
as they were handing out pamphlets
attacking the government and the
army draft and urging citizens to
write their congressman to support
move to have the selective draft
act repealed. The leaflets say the
act is "obsolete and unconstitutional
and gives the government the power
of life and death over the people Of
this country"
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-07-07

! that the warning could not be made
too soon.
Government officials are reticent
in discussing the plot of Tie Indus
trial Workers of the World to para
lyze the state by concerted at
tempt to burn the ripened crops.
However, it was stated the gogvern-
ment was investigating the plot and
that when definite evidence could be
obtained, arrests will be made.
One official gave additional cred
ence to the announcement made by
army officers that statewide move
was afoot to destroy the growing
crops by stating that the disclosures
should be given wide publicity in
order that the plans of the plotters
might be frustrated With maps of
the principal crop districts in pos
session of l. W. w. leaders connected
with the plot, it is asserted by army
officers, men have been posted at
vantage points throughout the state
to fire the fields. Officials urged all
farmers to be on watch for any out
