AGENT TELLS MINERS THEY
ARE NOT WORKING FOR GOVERNOR AND
PRECIPITATES BURLINGTON WALkOU1

MINERS HAD BEEN CONTENT
The action of the miners is re-
garde1 as unusual in view of the
assertion of league representa-
tives Of the administration to the
effect that the state never was in
possession of the Dakota mine.
Until closed this morning by the
strike of the miners following
their conference with Capt. Boyd,
work had continued at the Dako-
ia mine, it is understood, with
out interruption.
The Dakota mine walk-out is
considered of Importance as the
first direct strike in North Dakota
for public ownership of the mines,
a goal toward2 which the league
administration is believed to be
working.
Work is now at a standstill in
this property, and production,
which had been maintained at nor
NAL until Capt. Boyd's interview
with the miners this morning, has
entirely ceased.

LEAGUE WORKER
TELLS HOW REDS
PULLED STRINGS
Patriotic Work Used as Camou-
flage to Get to People,
Says Organizer

Men of admitted socialistic ten
dencies, secret admirers of and SYM
pathizers with the Bolshevist regime
in Russia, men who confessed to be-
ing I. w. w. followers, cautious dis
loyalists who gave cynical lip loyalty
to the government during the war as
a camoufage for their activities
that is the way in which many of the
paid Nonpartisan league organizers
who worked in this state under the
direction of Ray McKaig in 1917 and
1918 were described under oath in
Judge Charles P. McCarthy's court on
Friday, says the Idaho Daily States
man of Boise, in reporting an episode
in the trial of former Governor Frank
R. Gooding, whom jury this week
acquitted Of the charge Of libel pre-
ferred by Ray McKaig.
II am telling this as a voluntary
duty to the public. I was forced to do
it by my conscience" said Stoll on
the stand. .'a
Letters, kilograms and a diary care
fully kept from day to day helped Mr..
Stoll to detail the story of his con-
nection with the Nonpartisan league
and his association with McKaig, and
score or SO of organizers who
honeycombed the southern portion of
Idaho during the war period, says the
Statesman.
Stoll told Of first meeting McKais
in February, 1917, at a convention
in Pocatello. Later he met McKaig
at Rigby,. in company with A. A.
Dimmitt. another organizer. "Dim-
mitt said he was rank socialist and
an I. w. w. He said he had written
full-page article for his home paper
in which he had touched up the war
and praised the Bolsheviks. McKaig
told us of his trip east and of the
great time he had had. Then he said:
We're all more or less socialists and
| I. w. WIS. Most Of the organizers
are socialists or I. w. WIS. They
make the best arguments and sign up
more members than others. Mckaig
told US that he thought the Russian
Bolsheviks had the. solution for in
dustrial and political problems. He
said he thought they would sweep the
world, and that some of them were
here already" .. L..
On another occasion, said the wit
ness, McKaig told him lit was the
finest thing in the world for the Non
partisan league to set behind the
government and boost the drives. 1t
gives us a chance to get at the peopic
But the league doesn't mean it. 1t
is just camouflage."
McKaig, declared Stoll, said the
league represented the last chance of
the people to get their rights by bal
lot. "If that failed there would be
revolution. There would be revo-
luton now if leader were to appear.

Wounded Yanks in
Hospital w ant to
Read About TarZan
Six Veterans of the War Wish
Books With Lots of Action
in Them

Has anybody any real red-blooded
stories for former service men who
are in the local hospitals recovering
from wounds and illnesses contracted
while in the army and navy?
There are six of these war veterans
who are anxious to receive books that
are not cook books. or dry tales. but
which are full of action, spirit, humor
and little love. In other words
something similar to the lives they
lead in France.
Miss Florence Davis of the library
has received the request for these
books and those who can spare vo'-
ume or two should send them to Miss
Davis at the library. The men have
shown a desire to read all about Tar
zan, the man-ape. such as Son Of Tar
zan, Return of TarZan and others.

Upon being notified by Capt. s.
J. Boyd of the home guard that the
state had relinquished control Of
the Dakota mine at Burlington
in response to an order of the fed
eral courts, the miners walked out
this morning, and the mine is now
closed.
Capt. Boyd wired Adjutant Gen
eral Fraser to this effect at noon
today. In compliance with orders
of the federal court, temporarily
restraining the state from seeking
to interfere with the operation OF
the Dakota mine, General Fraser
wired Capt. Boyd last night advis-
ing the latter that the state was
no longer in control of this prop
erty. Capt. Boyd advises that he
informed the operators and the
miners this morning that the
state had given up possession, and
that the miners then served notice
that they would not work for the
rivate operators Of the property.
