Chicago, June 3.--A two-hour work
day with minimum wage of So a day
was the ultimate aim of the |. W. w
in the western mining centers. This
was disclosed today by government
witnesses who testified at the trial Of
Ito !. W. w. leaders before Federal
Judge Lands.
Federal Judge Lands, Francis L.
Kirby, a ranger in the United States
forestry service, at Miami, Ariz, tho
first of several witnesses called to
show that the !. W. w. was RESPONSE
BILE for the strikes in the copper mines
of Arizona last year which for time
threatened seriously 10 embarrass the
countrys preparations for war, told
of attending numerous |. w. w. meet
ings in the district prior to the strike
which began July
He said Grover II, Perry, one of the
defendants, spoke at several mass
meetings of mine workers at Miami.
He said the l. w. W. leaders demand
cd six-hour day and SO day pas
and when they got that they would
ask for a four-hour day with the same
wages, said the witness. Perry then
said the l. w, W.. would never stop
until they got a two hour day with
wage of $6. Perry also said the miners
should receive enough wages to buy
ham and eggs before being asked 10
buy Liberty Bonds.
Frank II. Little, who later was
lynched at Butte, Mont, also spoke at
this meeting and related a conversa-
ton he had with Governor Campbell
of Arizona, in which the l. w. w.
leader said the organization would
call general strike and tie up every
war industry unless the demands of
the union were granted
Jesse Henderson, a special deputy
sheriff employed by a copper COM
pany, testified to a speech delivered
by II. ]. Kane. another |. w. w. or
ganizer. In which the statement was
made that the organization had 190,-
600 members and could call a strike
in twenty-four hours which would tie
up every industry in the country. He
said the number of guards at one cop
per mine was increased from twenty
to two hundred after the strike had
been called. This action, he said, was
taken after there had been several eX-
plosions and fires on the company's
property.
A letter was read from w. d. Hay
wood to Don Sheridan at Spokane, in
which Haywood said:
1--WE are crowding on steam this
year. We want to get real start be-
fore the authorities begin to put their
clamps on. When we have every 9TH
er industry as well organized as
the lumber workers OF western Wash
ington and Idaho then We won't care

SERVING UNDER UNCLE SAM

Editor Leader Mrs. ]. L. Fleming
Of the Oak Grove vicinity, has -four
brothers in the service of Uncle Sam
and has had recent word from them
Three are in France Robert and
Charlie Ralph, of Covington, and
Tommie, who made his home at Clop-
ton, and James, who is in the service
Of the navy at Hampton Roads, Va
Charlie and Robert stopped in Eng
land awhile and received cards of
welcome from the King Of England
and sent them home for safe-keep-
ling. They say the people Of that
country are queer-looking and ev-
erybody rides wheels, even the old
gray-haired women, and the peo-
pie talk funny, but they can un-
derstand them.
Robert says 1--WE are still together
and are getting tough and hardened
and will soon be ready for service.
They are in France now, and they
say that the people are glad to see
them and treat them nicely and well
and that for us not to worry over
them and that everything will be all
right. Tommie has been in the
trenches fighting for several months
but says: Il have never been afraid
yet, but we are too quick for the bull
let's. James says II am well and
never felt better in my life, but the
camp is quarantined for the Spanish
influenza; even the ships can't leave
because they can't get crew. They
will be kept under quarantine until
it is checked.
There are seven boys in all, the sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. I. E. Ralph, who
lived around Covington most Of their
lives, and who now make their home
in Sullivan, Mo. Willie. the eldest,
who is a preacher, has charge Of four
churches near Crockett Mills, and has
been very instrumental in having a
nice new parsonage erected for the
church at that place. Dermont, an
other son, had to register in Septem-

Yeu know I am fond Of music and

the most beautiful song / ever heard
in all my life. You can't imagine how
happy and gay our boys were. Twas
a lovely night and the boys sang un-
til most dawn.
We were heartily applauded in Liv-
erpool, London and many other towns
and cities in England The French are
so good to us and all say that they
are crazy about America.
Suppose you read each day Of our

enjoyed very much being there. The
church we visited was recently shelled
by the Germans and one corner was
damaged very badly. OF course they
are all Catholics over here and we are
not accustomed to their ways. How
ever, we went through the ceremony
and contributed to the church fund as
freely as any member present. After
services were over we looked over
the town and returned to camp for
dinner. The churches are very beau
tiful indeed, and we have visited sew
eral in France.
Received a letter from Clyde this
morning. | was awfully glad to hear
that you all are getting my letters.
| know you are always glad to hear
from me, and you don't know how
glad l am to hear from home. Clyde
tells me that he is going to join the

will make good soldier. / have not
