Eleven self-confessed members Of the
Industrial Workers of the World, who
were arrested last week at road camps

Twelve men were taken into custody
by Sheriff Eller, his deputies, and mem

was released shortly after his arrest be-
cause he was not the man sought.

FLOOD OF COMPLAINTS
United States Exporters Fiooked to
England After Armietice Was
Signed, to Resume Com

rUnited Press Leased Wire Service.l ]
WASHINGTON, March 24.--Three
months of near-peace find American
concerns far behind their pre-war
stride in exports to England as a re-
suit of British import restriction.
Export of most commodities, e1-
cept food, Is running millions short
Of pre-war shipments, United States
commerce reports show.
Complaints are flooding the de-
partment from American exporters
who flocked to England upon the
signing of the armistice, eager to re-
sumo normal commercial relations.
These complaints say refusal of
the British board of trade to license
imports, is shutting Americans out
of many English markets in which
in 1914 there was big demand for
American goods.
1t is pointed out the English i'm
port restrictions do not apply to
goods from British colonies.

THREE WAYS TO CHECK TR0nBLE
American Troops Not Likely to be Held Abroad
as Result of Latest Outbreak In
Hungary.

either under bolshevik control %
threatened with it, disquieting re-
ports-both press and oficial-have
thrown new and serious light over
the entire international situation
during the last twenty-four hours.
The situation would seem to pre-
sent three alternatives IL the chaos
is to be checked before it spreads
further in Europe. All were being
discussed when the peace conferences
first took up the Russian problem.
All were discarded at that time for
the plan to invite all Russian fac
tions to Prinkipo to talk it over.
That plan has fizzled out The
three alternatives again present
themselves: g.5ss
1-Recognize the better Russian
soviets as defacto governments in
their respective districts; or
2-Place an allied armed ring
about the bolshevikiqidden parts Of
Europe and try to stop the spread of
the movement while attempting to
talk sense" to the reds" or
3--In an effort to stamp out the
whole bolsheviki movement the allies
band together to actually war on
those threatening world peace.
Observers see growing possibility
'of Germany refusing to sign the
peace and under the influence Of the
Spartacans joining the bolshevik
ranks against the allies.
State department officials said
American troops are not likely to be
held abroad as result of the bol-
shevik outbreak in Hungary.
The situation, they admitted. is
serious. Food is being sent in by
the inter-allied relief, but officials do
not believe that the food situation
alone is responsible for the outbreak
of the bolsheviki.
Lack of raw materials and failure
to resume industrial activity are coz
sidered important factors.
