It's Revolution, Not Labor
Protest, Says Army Head,
and Adds That Swift Blow
Will Stop Bolshevism
Foodstuff Is Delivered
Coastal Shipping Is Nearly
Tied Up at Vancouver as
More Workers Go Out

WINNIPEG, June 6.-More than
1900 solder-constables and cavalry
unit of one hundred war veterans to-
day patrolled Winnipeg's streets, ready
to enforce Mayor Grays reclamation
forbidding all public parades. The
Mayors stand was indorsed by nearly
every faction involved in the general
strike. and only one effort was made
to continue the demonstrations of the
last three days,
Strikers, following a mass meeting,
attempted to form and march to the
City Hall in protest against the Mayor s
proclamation, but the demonstration
vas broken up by the police.
The newly deputized constables made
several arrests of strikers and strike
sympathizers during the day, and all
were arraigned and fined. Mayor Gray
announced that the city plans to put
three thousand returned soldiers on it's
emergency police force.
Brigadier General H. D. B. Ketchen,
the Manitoba district military com
mander, to-day addressed a mass meet
ing of returned soldiers and declared
the Winnipeg strike could no longer be
considered union labor protest, but
that 1t IS an attempt to overthrow the
government.
II am sorry, men, that l cannot tell
you all l would like to tell at the
present time" General Ketchen said,
but rest assured that the Dominion
government and the military are not
IDLE When the government does act
in connection with the Winnipeg up-
heaval, | am sure You soldiers will
agree that when I intimated TODAY
that action was impending to deal with
revolution and Bolshevism, | did not
tell you all"
Without committing themselves on
the calling off of the sympathetic
strike, executives of the central strike
committee announced to newspapers
tonight that the Metal Trades Council
had accepted the collective bargaining
plan outlined by the railway brother
hoods, which have been attempting to
bring ABOUT a strike settlement by con-
cilation.
Federal and provincial executives
have announced that they would not
participate in any settlement until the
sympathetic strike was called off.
Since returned soldiers began main
tanning law and order in Winnipeg
it has been an open secret that the
strike leaders have been attempting
to settle on the best terms possible
but one leader declared to-day that the
sympathetic strike would not be called
off.
Several more unions have Joined the
general strike at Vancouver, and coast
wise shipping is almost completely tied
up. The Canadian Pacific has begun
arrangements to fill the places of strik-
ing stewards with girls on their coast
wise steamers.
The stand taken by the newspapers
at Vancouver in their refusal to per
n+t censorship of strike news by the
typographical union resulted to-day in
the union receding from its action.

Ensign Beck Is Charged
With Accepting Bribes
Officer on Trial Before Court
Martial; Others Involved
With Him

sign in the Naval Reserves, who was

rolling men not up to the physical

Library Workers and
Teachers Union Planned

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-The Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League
in convention here day decided to
organize library workers. and the
unionizing of public school teachers
will also be attempted through the
league. The convention also decided to
elect tive delegates to represent this
country at the Women's Labor Con-
gress to be held in Washington next
fall.
The convention was thrown into an
uproar to-day when attention was
drawn to a published statement that
Miss c. ?. Fincher, of New York, had
accused the convention of being pro-
German. The statement was the result
of the conventions considering the
question Of looking after the children
# war-torn countries regardless of ma
tionalities. After considerable debate
the question of taking the courtesy of
attending the convention from Miss
Fincher was referred to the Typo
graphical Union from which she had
obtained her card.

No Delay Feared
By Western Union
Wolk.Out OF Operators
Here Is Not Expected,
Labor Leaders Believe

Local officials of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union said yesterday
they did not look for any strike or
ders before Sunday.
~ expect" said Percy Thomas, vice
president of the union, "to have some
thing to say Sunday night. What it
will be I cannot now say
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union, against whose company
the strike order in Atlanta and other
Southern points was issued, said yes
terday the company felt no i'll effects
therefrom. To date, he said, only
very few operators had quit, and he
had no fear OF serious trouble in the
South, i'll New York or any other point.
The feeling of confidence that there
would be no interruption of service was
shared by officers Of the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company, op-
Grating all long distance lines, and the
New York Telephone Company, operat-
ing the local lines. The employees of
these companies are not organized.
Union opinion yesterday was that a
walkout Of operators was not to be ex-
pected.
The strikers are assured of the assist
ance of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Telegrap pliers. Members of this organ
izatlon control the railroad Offices of
the country, through which the bus-
ness of thousands Of small towns and
cities is transacted. These, it was said
yesterday, on the authority of Thomas
l.. Plerson, vice president, could not be
expected to handle any Western Union
business in strike territory. In the
past the organization has refused to
take part in any strike. The new
president of this organization, Robert
Manion, is on record as favoring assist
ance to the commercial telegraphers
at all times.
In formal statement yesterday Mr..
Carlton said that only 40 Western
Union employees are members of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union. He
quoted reports from the South to in
dicate that few employees had quit in the
strike territory, and declared the local
chapters of the Western Union EN-
ployees' Association, the organization
formed under the auspices of the COM
pany, vera everywhef- piedging 10y
atty. This organization, he said, pro-
vided ample machinery for the settle
ment of all questions that may arise.
He said meeting of its officers with
representatives of the company was to
be held yesterday afternoon to discuss
profit sharing scheme.

Pennsylvania Mine Blast
Deaths Now Number 81

W1LkES-BARRE. Penn, June 6.-The
explosion of five kegs of black powder
IN the Baltimore No. 9 tunnel of the
Delaware Hudson Company yester-
day has caused the death of eighty
seven men. There are thirty FIVE in
hospitals at present and the condition
OF several Of these men is serious.
lnve estigaton by state mine DEPART
rcnt officials Of the disaster was begun
to-day. All of the mine inspectors of
the district we're present.
John McGroarty, motorman, and
James Kahoe, brakeman on the train
OF mine cars which caused the accide Mt
testified that the trolley wire was sag
ging, but not low enough to come in
contact with the metal cars. They said
an iron bar or other metal carried by
miner might have been touched by
the wire, thus causing short circuit
that emitted sparks which ignitcd tho
powder on the train Another theory
they advanced was that sparks from a
lamp, pipe or a lighted match might
nave come in contact with looso
powder.
