the state should discharge from Gus

Il insisted upon being bound over
for trial yesterday on the charge Of
kidnapping because I am the man re-
sponsible for the deportations The
county attorney said there was 10
evidence to show that | had any con

to me that the proclamation | issued
as sheriff July 10, 1917, announcing
that / had deputized hundreds of
citizens and assumed full responsible

proof enough that I had considerable
IL do with the affair.
II have never denied my part in

wish right now that all OF the citizens
arrested and bound over so far would
be released and l, alone, he held TO

MINERS DISPOSE OF
ILLINOIS PROBLEM
Jay sosNrso JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,eEl

Cleveland, o., Sept. 16.-The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America today disposed of their
Illinois strike problem, refusing seats
TO the contesting delegates, and there
by sustaining the action of the inter-
national and state mine officials in
depriving twenty-five. Illinois locals
of their charters for INDUCING in un-
authorized strikes.
John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the
national committee for organizing the
iron and steel workers, and Mother
Jones, the aged mine worker repre-
sentative, appealed to the convention
to support the steel workers in the
projected steel strike. Recall of the
strike call, Mother" Jones declared,
would wreck the confidence of the
steel workers in their organization.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick refrained from
mentioning directly the question of
possible postponement in his speech
but in conversations with delegates he
declared himself firmly opposed to
pos,ponement as weakening the
chances of success.
Discussions of resolutions will be
resumed tomorrow. The chairman
announced that among those submit
ted was one demanding the resigna-
ton of Postmaster General Burleson.
