Toronto, June 17.-(By A. P.)-
Documents which are said to prove that
the Industrial Workers OF the World

caused much labor unrest in Canada,
are the same organization, have been
seized in raid conducted by the On

THREE-DAY REIGN OF TERROR
State Police Seek Bandits on Roads
Leading to Reading

Reading, Pa, June 17.--Mounted
state police, heavily armed. are patrol
ling all roads leading into Reading from
the south, in an effort to halt the
reign of terror created by a band of
masked highwaymen for three success y
sive days. The bandits last night staged
their third hold up when they attempted
to rob Leroy Levi, Reading business
man, at the same spot in which John
Good, Cedar Top farmer, was robbed
at midnight Saturday.
Levi escaped from an ambush. when
he lashed his horse into a gallop and
drove at top speed past the bandits.
Unlike the attempted hold-up of Isaac
Kohl, Cumru farmer, who was fired
upon when he sped his auto out OF
the trap at midnight Sunday, Levi was
not shot at by the highwaymen.

Confession Called Remarkable
The confession made by Fields, in
which no flaw has been found by the po-
, lice, is considered remarkable in detail.
He is capable of listing in rapid sue
cession the victims of his operations,
describing almost any article he stole
! and the interior of the homes he entered,
and recalling the time of day and dates
during the year when he robbed homes
and disposed of his loot.
The police believe statement made
by the youth that he worked alone in
all the robberies. One detail of his
confession, when he described the fancy
figuring on the icing of cake he ate in
one of the homes he entered, was found
to be correct.
He has told the police of four oc-
casions when he was threatened with
arrest. He was in a home on one ac-
casion when the occupants were out
4 of town. A patrolman entered the
house to see that everything was all
< right. Fields hid in a dark corner of
one of the rooms and the patrolman n
passed without noticing him. Later that
night he robbed the house.
On another occasion he left a house
through the rear door when a patrol :
man went in the front entrance.
One night when he was standing in
the alley of Rittenhouse Square home
Q patrolman saw him, and asked him
what he was doing, He said he had
been chasing man he believed to be a
burglar. The patrolman asked which
way, the stranger ran. Fields pointed
up the street, and the patrolman went
< in that direction. Fields then entered
and robbed the house.
Stopped by Patrolman
On May 81 Fields was stopped on
the street by Patrolman Landy, of the
. Fifteenth and Locust streets station,
wko was in plain clothes. Landy asked
Fields what he had in bundle he was

GERMANY IS AD|M| TED n
 FERENCE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 90.-With only the French capital delegate op- posing the action, the international labor conference today decided to admit representatives of Germany and Austria, immediately upon their arrival here, to full membership in the world labor organization
 Louis Gueri, who cast the only neg ative vote, holding up to view the desolation wrought by the German military machine when it invaded re- gions of his country asserted that a distinction must be made between barbarian" nations that regard a treaty as a scrap of paper" and al lied peoples who had fought for the cause of freedom. He insisted that Germany and Austria, with whom, he said, the allied nations are still at war, should not be admitted until the close of the conference and main tained that such was the view of the French senate and of Leon Bourgeois, French delegate to the league of na tions.
 Sharp opposition to Hhis view was expressed by Leon Jouhaux, French labor delegate. who said that the war was at an end and that Germany must be admitted in ''the new regime"
 The Belgian governmental and la bor delegates asked to be recorded as voting favorably only because economic conditions forced them to do so," and Jules Cartier, Belgian capital representative, abstained from voting.
 "I cannot vote against the resolu- ton because of imperative economic reasons which are clear to all" said MT. Cartier, "and I will not vote for it because Germany has cruelty vlo- lated all it's obligations to Belgium, and because the Germans have sys- tematically wrecked all our indus trial life during the four years Of their occupation"
 An effort was made by Dr. w. H. Nolens, Dutch government delegate, to strike out of the resolution of ad- mission words stating that the action was taken 'in accordance with the decisions of the allied and associated powers" but the motion was lost by a vote of 40 to 4.
 Dr. R. H. Elizalde, government delegate from Ecuador, asked why Mexico had not. been invited to the conference and moved to admit that republic, while Judge Johan Castberg, Norwegian government representa- tive, proposed that Finland also be admitted. Both motions were de ferred, under the rules, until tomor- row

who will not strike. Reports re- ceived from confidential sources dur ing the past few days, officials said, indicated that considerable num- Der would keep on turning out coal if afforded protection, and this, of ficials added, would be given in abundant measure.
 State and city police and regular constabulary forces will be pressed into service first, and troops will be called only as a last resort, accord ing to those familiar with the pro- gram. Secretary Daniels announced today that sailors and marines will be shifted to land duty and attached to military organizations, if their services are demanded by the presi- dent. There has been no statement, however, as to the policy of deter imitation of using troops. Much will depend on what happens after the mines shut down tomorrow night.
 Satisfied there was no longer hope of averting the strike, but eager to have miners and operators mediate, government officials felt that a rasp- ing note had been sounded by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America in tele- gram to Secretary of Labor Wilson, attacking President Wilson for his part in trying to bring peace to the industry. The mine workers presi- dent was replying to a telegram sent by Secretary Wilson which the sec retary refused to make public.
 With the fixing of maximum prices. both for bituminous and anthracite coal. and establishment of the pri- critics list, Fuel Administrator Gar field again will take command of the situation, under his old war time powers. Much of this work will be carried on by the bureau Of mines of the interior department and the railroad administraJIon. Director General Hines and Dr. Garfield at tended the cabinet meeting and the mode of procedure adopted was said to follow their suggestions.
 Coal will be allocated and distribut- ed in accordance with the plan fol- lowed two years ago during the severe weather when the supply was short. If the strike is prolonged and the output meanwhile limited, the less essential industries will be forced to curtail. There is grow ing belief in official circles, however, that much coal will come out of the non-union mines and from union mines working perhaps, with small shifts. Whatever Is mineu will be moved speedily, the railroad admin istration assured the public. After checking over bureau reports, Sec retary Lane estimated that the cur rent supply from non-uhton mines would be sufficient to meNt domes- tic demands.

Ex-SOldiers Will Guard Virginia Coal Mines

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. 30.-A provisional battalion eight hundred strong, com posed of veterans of the First division, tonight had orders to proceed immedi- ately to the coal fields of West Virginia in anticipa- tion of possible disorder at tending the strike of miners there. The troops would be on their way before morn ing, Col c. w. Peabody, acting chief of staff, an nounced and who said the instructions had come from the headquarters of the cen tral department, Chicago.

was not the. limit of the industry. They said this was dug with the mines averaging only about seventy per cent of capacity and with the skilled working force reduced by SO,000 miners in the army and navy. Out of a possible 312 working days in the year, they said western Penn sylvania miners averaged 26O, In- diana 249, Illinois 22S and Ohio 224. The bulk of the bituminous tonnage came from those states.
 Against this record they set fig ures for 1919, which they said show ed that the mines had operated at not ,to exceed 50 per cent of the time Despite this reduction in time, they said the 1919 production of the country up to October IS was 379. 100000 tons, only 103,000,000 tons less than in the same period of 1918. They estimated that the mine workers will not average more than 1S0 working days in 1919 and claim ed that a full working force work ing steadily throughout the year can produce SOC, 100000 tons if need be. They said the estimated needs of the country for 1920 were 55O,OOO- 900 tons.
 These figures show" said Ellis Searles, editor of the unions maga- zine, "that there are too many min- CTS in the coal business for an eight hour day The shorter day would distribute the work evenly through out the year and it would take only a short time to educate consumers to buy on the basis of steady, rath- CT than seasonable production.
 Furthermore eight hours may be short enough for men working in the fresh air and sunlight but it is too long a period for continuous labor in the dark under forced ventila- tion. Men work themselves out quickly in dungeons"
 Increased wages are necessary. he said, because in 1918 Illinois mine workers of all classes averaged earn ings of $1,39O.3SS The first six months of 1919 showed average earnings of $572.OS, he said. indicat- ing decreased earning powers in the face of constantly mounting living costs. From January l, 1913, to July i, 1919, he said, the mine work CTS of the central competitive fields had averaged yearly earnings of $S73S5.
