Washington, Oct. 21.-While mem
bers of the Senate labor committee in
vestigating the steel strike sat fairly
dazed and dumfounded, Jacob Mar
golia of Pittsburg, l. w. w. attorney
and admitted advocate of social revO-
luton, told them a story of ultra-rad-
ical activities which he said underlay
and were associated with the nation
wide strike of steel workers.
Even more remarkable to his hear
ers was the PittSburg attorneys de-
lineation of a partially successful at
tempt covering the past two years to
fuse at Pittsburg, for an unstated but
vaguely limited revolutionary purpose,

knOwledged, had been caught by the
success of Lenine and Trotzky in Rus
sia All were working, he told the COM
mittee calmly, "tO create q new sOci-

Throughout Margolis' story ran the
name of William z. Foster, secretary
of the steel strike committee, to whom
Chairman Kenyon of the labor commit
tee forced frequent recurrence by Il
crOSS-eXaminatiOn in which dicta-
graph records of telephone conversa-

matters played a large part.

Margols told of union of Russian

his cognizance he secured the indorse-

SLAMS ROYAL ELEPHANT HUNT
Kings Order for Roundup Is Signal
for Outpouring of Natives to
See Big Show.

When a king of Siam finds that the
stock of tame elephants IN the gov
ernment stables is getting low. he
sends out an edict that a royal ele-
phant hunt will take place. This Or
der is received joyfuIly throughout
Siam, for a royal elephant hunt Is
enough of a spectacle to induce peo-
pie from all over Siam to come to
Ayutha, where the animals are to be
brought when captured.
Days, sometimes weeks, are required
to locate and surround the herds to
be captured. Then they are skillfully
driven in the direction of Ayutha. So
slowly do the great beasts travel4that
four or five miles is sometimes the
daily rate of advance. When Ayutha
is reached the herd is driven into q
corral, which is large walled-in court,
and here it is kept until the desirable
beasts are selected. The rest are then
allowed to wander back to their Jungle
allowed to wander back to their jungle
home.
The tanning of the animals retained
takes several days and is the climax
to the spectacle. Crowds gather to
hear the untamed elephants trumpet
their anger at being caught and to
watch their clumsy struggle against
mastery by the native trainers.-De-
