Veterans Oppose
Winnipeg Strike
Parade, 1000 Strong, as
a Protest Against Blo,c
at the City's Industry

WINNIPEG, Marrtopa, June A.
Winnipeg tonight was quiet after a
day of parades and demonstrations
that on several occasions threatened to
end the tranquility that has marked
the general strike of union workers in
force for twenty days. Fifty addition
al policemen were sworn in during the
day by municipal officials.
Soldier veterans Of the European
war who did not sanction the general
strike marched, 1000 strong, to the
provincial House of Parliament, where
speakers told Premier T. c. Norris
for recognition of the constitutional
government The anti-strike marchers
then paraded to the City Hall, where
Mayor Charles F. Gray announced that
the central strike committee had taken
steps to curtail the milk and bread
supply
"They'll rescind those orders or We'll
tear the Trades and Labor Temple to
pieces" shouted marcher.
A roar Of approval followed.
One banner carried by the marchers
said: Down with Bolshevism. We
upheld our duly elected constitutional
government" Another said: "To hell
with the alien enemy; God save the
king!"
Another crowd of strikers, strike
sympathizers and few returned SOL
diers also paraded the streets, but the
two factions did not meet. Leaders of
both the pro and anti-strike marchers
announced that they would repeat the
demonstrations tomorrow.
The city council arranged to open
milk and bread depots throughout the
city after bakers and dairymcn declared

Strike Cuts Off Ne,us
e Days in Buenos Ayres
Thirty Papers Close Do,cn i,
Battle Against the Unions;
Fe1c Sfreetcars Are Running

BUENOS AYRES, June 3 (By The As
sociated Press ).-Buenos Ayres, a city
of more than 100000 inhabitants and
with more than thirty daily newspapers
in many languages, has been without
newspapers or even news bulletins for
six days, bringing back the pioneer
days when the population awaited the
arrival of sailing ships to learn what
was going on elsewhere. The people
appear to accept the situation compla-
Gently as merely another phase of the
many labor troubles which have beset
the city in recent months.
Fifteen of the principal publishers
decided last Thursday to close down
their plants indefinitely after the re-
fusal of union printers to set up the
advertisement of a boycotted Depart
ment store. The smaller papers were
forced to suspend publication because
they could no longer use the presses
of the larger papers.
Determined that they should not be
the only sufferers, the publishers
stopped posting news dispatches on
their bulletin boards. The boards are
covered with this notice. "This paper
has suspended Unfortunately because of
the united fight for the liberty of the
press"
The publishers say they will resume
when all the papers have been able to
train new non-union composing room
crews.
The strike Of streetcar employees,
which has been in progress for week,
apparently is causing more inconveni-
ence than the lack Of newspapers.
Comparatively few cars are running
and during the rush hours the cars
are jammed beyond their capacity,
people even riding on top of the cars
or hanging out of the windows.
The lack of disorder in spite of the
unusual situation is noticeable The
fact that the public does not know
what is going on elsewhere, such as
the strikes in Paris and the bomb out
RACES in the United States, appears to
have relieved the tension somewhat.
Public officials and the newspaper pub
fishers are making special effort to
suppress incendiary news.
Business generally is greatly un-
settled Two hundred firms are said
to be faced with differences with their
employees.
Congress is debating the situation
daily in the hope of finding a solution
of the labor troubles and at the same
time avoid outbreaks and prevent pos
sible general suspension of business,
of which some employers are fearful
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 3.-Several
persons were wounded in fight to-day
between police and strikers. Order was
reestablished after the fight, but the
strikes continue.

WASHINGTON, June As. J. Konen-
kamp, president of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America, said
here to-day he believed the Atlanta
strike would spread until it assumed
nationwide proportions and resulted
in tie-up of the country's telegraph
and telephone communication.
"The primary reason for the trouble
now threatening through the Atlanta
strike" said Mr.. Konenkamp, "is the
failure of the wire administration,
through Postmaster General Burleson,
to appreciate the force or and carry
out the labor policy Of President Will
son."
The Postoffice Departments wire
control board announced that reports
reaching it from Atlanta showed that
the sympathetic strike of telegraphers
was confined to few individuals and
was not general.

Dooling Finds One Company
Selling Stock on Nothing
but Typed Lease Offer,
and 1t Is Counterfeit
TO Give Grand Jury Facts
Newman Calls to Explain
Buying ''Tip" Wired All
Rangeburnett Holders

Assistant District Attorney Dooling
announced last night that he would lay
before the grand jury to-day evidence
he has been collecting relative to the
indictments would be asked on charges
of forgery, obtaining money under false
pretences and publishing false and
misleading advertisements.
new form of oil stock swindle had
come to his attention yesterday, Mr.
Dooling said He discovered a company
selling stock, he announced, on nothing
but an alleged typewriter offer from
an oil company to lease land to it..
Even this, according to Mr.. Dooling,
was a forgery.
Paul A. Newman, of the firm Of Paul
A. Newman & Co., Of Is Broad Street,
which has been selling stock of the
Rangeburnett Oil Company, of Texas,
and Harry j. Black, secretary of the
Rangeburnett company, paid volun-
tary visit to Mr. Dooling's office yes
terday afternoon. Both conferred with
him for nearly two hours.
Asks About Buying "Tio"
Following the conference Mr. Dool-
ing declared he had questioned Mr..
Newman about a telegram which car
ried the signed name of Harry J. Black
and had been sent to Maxwell A. Free
man, Of Norfolk, Va, saying that the
Rangeburnett company was about to
buy another oil company and advising
the purchase of more shares. On the
strength of that telegram, Freeman
told Dooling, he bought one thousand
shares at So each
Mr.. Newman admitted sending the
telegram, Mr. Dooling said, and added
that a similar message had been sent
to every stock holder of record. Mr.
Newman said, however. according to
Mr.. Dooing, that Mr.. Black had au-
thorized the telegram. Mr.. Black de-
MED the authorization, Mr.. Doolrng
said. No real effort to buy the other
oil company was made by the Range
burnett, Mr.. Dooling declared he was
told
Mr.. Dooling said Mr.. Newman told
him yesterday that he had paid $40 ,0OC

cents a share and it had sold az one
time for six dollars. Mr.. Newman as
serted, said Mr. Dooling, that some Of
his customers had made proh,s in
Rangeburnett stock ranging from S.
600 to as high as S9,53469.
SOurht to Warn InveStors
Mr.. Black told him, Mr. Dooling said,
that early in May he had prepared an
advertisement to be inserted in one Of
the New York newspapers warming
stockholders that the company was not
responsible for the "hamboyant fuct-
uations" of the stock, that the officials
of the company looked unfavorably
upon these fluctuations, and that the
company feared losses to those holdin~
blocks Of the stock on margin because
the company was on purely specula-

Of the factory which last night was the
scene of clashes between 5000 idle

charged soldiers acting as guards at
the motor plant. 1t was in the latter
clash that the killings occurred.
There was some jeering at the SOL

not permitted to congregate and warn

officials of the company said however
that the plant will be opened as soor
as protection is assured
