BAKER TAKES HAND
In GARY RED INQUIRY
Chicago Officer Sent There to
Run Down All Clues Lead
ing to Radicals.
Special Despatch 10 TIE Sun.

GARY. Ind, Oct 1.-THE war waged
by the military authorities against the
Reds In the Calumet steel district Sub
sided somewhat to-day. judging from
outward appearances, but Significance is
seen in tho action of Secretary of War
Baker in sending Major Thomas B.
Crockett. head Of the Chicago branch
of the military intelligence bureau. to
Gary. The mission Of Major Crockett,
1t is said. Is to hunt down every clue
that might be construed as indicating
that the Red brotherhood planned to
seize upon the steel strike to further a
reign Of violence and disorder among
workers
It also was reported that Major
Crockett had been told to follow every
story of planned violence to its source,
as well as to ascertain whence issued
the report that Anton Gorsko had con-
fessed to the military authorities that he
had been implicated with Alexander
1vanhoff in bomb plots.
Gen. Wood left Gary for Washington
last night
From every sector of the steel strike
area to-day came the information tina,
mills continued to operate at from 25
to so per cent. normal There was prac-
tically no disorder. and mill officials
announced themselves as content with
developments.
A blow fell on the strikers to-day
when Hughie Murray, president of the
union of tinplate workers. returned to
work. 1t is believed that his desertior
from the strikers ranks will greatly un.
dermine their morale.
Ten persons are said to be in custody
as result of the military activities in
Gary. Warrants for deportation have
been sworn out against seven of them
and similar action Is expected promptly
against the other three. 1t Is the an
nounced intention of the authorities &c
rid the country of disturbers who do no,
hold American citizenship.
One thing the army authorities are
frank about is the presence OF revolu-
ticnists among the strikers posing as la
Dor leaders with a view to organizing
the workers for a revolt against TIL,
Government.

charges that the body OF Fannie Smell 1,

Workers, who was shot and killed on
August 26 at West Natrona. where there
was q strike of miners, had been DELHI
erately mutilated after the official au-
topsy to make It appear she was shot in
the back.
Labor union men had charged that
she was murdered by deputy sheriffs
while protecting children from the depu-
ties, but the Coroner's verdict declared

was exhumed last Monday at the in
stance of a relative and labor men sent

that there was gunshot wound In the
back. The Coroner's finding made no
mention OF such wound.

the Snellins case as an example of the al

| The Sherif's letter after briefly re-
citing the history of the case says:
THE investigation conducted by the
Sheriff and by the Coroner also lead to
the decision that the wound found in

buried forty-three days may or may not
| be a bullet wound. and that whatever
kind of an injury 1t is was deliberately
inflicted, after the official autopsy in the
presence of reputable witnesses, TO dis
credit those In authority, and for the
further purpose of furnishing anarchistic,
dangerous and revolutionary agitators
and organizers propaganda to be used
in the steel strike against the State and
national Governments although the in
cident Is not remotely connected with
the strike.
Your attention Is also respectfully
called to the methods pursued by agents
of the Department of Labor and Depart

conducting Investigations into this &C.
currence. These investigators came here
at the behest of these agitators. openly
charging regularly elected and lawfully
commissioned peace officers with most
outrageous conduct for which there Is
not the slightest foundation. and pursued
their inquiries any way but impartially.
they usually IL not always, seek out the
persons making the charges, and leave

evidence, and leave behind them a trail
