The federal and state authorities
have made i! clear that Bo.shevism
cannot win in New Mexico and that
foreigners employed in the mines win
not be permitted to endanger the
lives or the health of the people dur
ing the winter or seriously to curtaa
industry throughout the country by
limiting the outputaof fuel
Nearly 80 per cent Of the strikers
were foreigners who never had been
naturalized. one of the most active
of the ag!tators Is a man who owes
his political allegiance 20 Russia. or
some other Slavic country. Before
coming to the Gallup coal fields the
largest salary or monthly wage he
ever had drawn was $40 a month,
Now he owns a good home. has a
costly Victrola and when the strike
was called was drawing regularly
$500 a month. He Is much displeased
with conditions of labor in the United
States and wants TO see the govern
ment overthrown and something like
the Bolsheyist rule now existing in
Russia installed in this country.

But they found that practically ali the

The department of justice, repre-
scented by District Attorney Summers
Burkhart procured the arrest of
William Clarkson, Seferino LuoerJ
and Peter Casna Saturday night for
conspiring to violate the law which
prohibits conspiracy to limit produe-
tion of food, fuel and other necessi-
ties of life. This was the first direct
action taken by the department of
justice for the purpose Of ending the
strike.
The regulars, battalion of the
Eighth cavalry under command of
Captain X h. Edmunds, and with the
redouhtable Captain Matlack, who re-
fused to pay all OF the ransom money
to the Mexican bandits for the re-
lease of the two American avaitors,
as provost marshal, have preserved
perfect order. They disarmed every
body connected with the Diamond
Coal company control of which was
assumed by Governor Larfazolo foT
the purpose of seeing that production
was not further curtalled. Piled up
in the provost marshals office Is a
large assortment of firearms of al
most every description, shotguns, re-
volvers, automatic pistols, small cali
her rifles and high power rifles rs
well. Captain Edmunds remarked
that having firearms seemed to be the
rule in the Gallup field
It is estimated that about one hum
dred and fifty of the miners have left
the Gallup field and a few more will
leave. Men are found to take the
places of the strikers and the produe
ton, that had been reduced from
seventy-five hundred tons daily to
about seven hundred tons was neasiy
normal today, and it is confidently
predicted that the output will be
about twenty-five hundred tons Mon
