wheat fields Of the middle west and
thereby curtail the country's pro
duction of food was presented by
the government today at the trial OF
ll2 members of the organization.
Frank X. Nebeker, counsel for
the government, drew a sharp dis
tinction between the methods of or
ganized labor and the |. w. w. He
pointed out that organized labor
seldom enters q new field until there
was a demand from the workers.
The l. W. W., he said. invaded any
territory where there was a chance
to make trouble without regard for
wishes os the workers.
The attorney contrasted the peace
full strike or lockout Of organized
labor with the wanton destruction
of property resulting from sabotage
practiced by the |. w. w.
How the l. w. w. started trouble
in the oil fields OF Oklahoma, where
several members were tarred and

the government, is information de-
scribed in letters of Pete Daley, an
organizer for the agricultural work

To ELIMINATE
NARCOTIC EVIL
r. d. MOORE AND GEORGE W.
HILL, DOCTORS, ACCUSED
OF SELLING DRUGS.

Dick Hignight, deputy United
States marshal, in making a number
OF arrests, has begun a campaign to
eliminate drug habit evil in Ard
more, by getting at the source OF
supply. Victims of the habit are in
the police court almost daily and
the disposition of this class is bur
den on the officers, but now the fed
eral government has stepped in and
apprehended those who supply the
drug.
Nearly a year ago DR.. r., ID.
Moore was arrested on IA charge OF
selling narcotics and made bond Tor
his appearance in federal court.
Citizens signed the bond on condi-
ton that he would not engage in
the sale of the drug, or use it, and
the case against him has been al
lowed to drag along. Recently
Deputy Hignight secured evidence
that dope was being sold at Doc
tor Moore's place and after inveS-
tigating he arrested Moore on a
charge of selling narcotics. The
bond in the first case was forfeited
and on a preliminary hearing in this
last case he was held in bail of $lO,-
900 to await the action OF the fed
eral grand jury. Failing to make
bond, he was committed to Jail.

DILLON AND DEVLIN
OPPOSE DEPORTATION
OF SINN FEINERS

Dublin, May 2l.-A resolution
denouncing the Sim Fein depor-
tations as an attempt to discredit
and disrupt Ireland's united re-
sistancc to conscription and to
prejudice Ireland's cause in the eyes
of friendly members OF parliament
was passed by the anti-conscription
conference which met Monday at
Mansions House.
An officila statement signed
among others by John Dillon and
Joseph Devlin, the Irish national
ist leaders, was issued after the
meeting. 1t insists on the right OF
Irishmen to be arraigned in their
country and declares that an at
tempt was being made to poison
the mind of the English people
against the prisoners.
London, May 2l.-Eva Gore
Booth, sister of Countess Markie-
vitz, Sim Feiner, who was arrest
ed in Dublin last week, informs the
Daily Express that she saw the
countess arrive in London on Sun
day. Countess Markievicz, she
said, was taken to Holloway pris-
on, where she remains. No one is
permitted to visit her.
In addition to Messrs. Dillon and
Devlin, those who signed the pro-
test were VIM. O'Brien and Tim
Healy, representing the O'Brienite
party; Henry Mcneil and Alder
man Kelly, representing the Sim
Feincrs, ard Messrs. Johnston, Egan
and O'Brien, representing the labor
party. The protest says in part:
~ conference speaking on behalf
of every section OF the Irish nation
condemns the deportations to Eng
land of our colleagues, Prof. de
Valera and Arthur Griffith, and
their fellow prisoners. We charge
it is an attempt to discredit and dis
rupt Ireland's united resistance to
conscription. and this on a charge
or allegation calculated to make a
fair trial impossible for them in
England and to prejudice the cause
of the Irish nation in friendly coun-
tries abroad.
1--WE assert the ancient constitu-
tional right of Irishmen to be ar
raigned in their own country and
tried by their own countrymen. We
charge that denial of the right is in
violation of the first principles Of
justice and liberty, for the defense
of which England claims to be a
member of an alliance of demo
cratic nations"
