PACIFIC COASTS GREAT
 SUPPLY OF FUEL

Industrial development, ship ping and home comfort on the Pacific Coast are to large ex- tent dependent on oil for fuel. There are no great deposits of coal in the Coast states, but Na- ture has given compensating advantage in the great oil fields of California. From these comes fuel for most of our in- dustries, our railroads, the ships that call at our ports, in- cluding the grim, grey warriors of the Navy. The oil fields also furnish the crude oil from which is derived the super-re- fined water white oil for heat ing, cooking and lighting in our homes. The Standard Oil Company has done great serv- ice in perfecting methods of re- fning coal oil, or kerosene, for in Pearl Oil they have given the housewife a convenient and ec- onomical fuel for all household purposes, which burns without smoke or odor. Pearl Oil has become most important factor in the comfortable home life of the Pacific Coast.

The full story of the arrest of sixteen workers
at an orderly meeting held in Kansas City, Kansas
on the evening of October 25th, has just come to
light, and reveals the arbitrary manner in which
local officials take advantage of the Kansas
Criminal Syndicalism law.
The meeting took place in the stockyards dis
trict, and was held under the auspices of the
National Defense Committee which undertakes
the defense of those workers accused of political
and industrial offenses who belong to no organiza
tion already providing legal defense.
Ella Reeves Bloor, better known as Mother
Bloor, was addressing the meeting on the question
of deportations, and was making an appeal for
funds for the benefit of deportees. About twenty
young fellows entered the hall and when seated,
tried to disturb the meeting with cat-cas. Mother
Bloor succeeded in quieting them.
After the collection was taken up, an individual,
who was afterwards revealed as a detective ap-
preached the speaker and told her she had better
come with him. Fifteen members of the audience
were then arrested The sixteen were conveyed
in patrol wagon to the police station. The women
were soon removed to an unlighted, unheated base
ment cell-room and were compelled to pass the
night there without the opportunity of lying
down.
The following morning the whole party was
taken to the police court for hearing. The pro-
ceedings, the defendants state, were of the Star
Chamber variety, none of them being permitted to
say word in their own behalf, nor telephone for
attorneys OF bondsmen. The detective who made
the arrests, when asked the charge, said "Oh,
against the government, and l. w. W. and all that
stuff" The sixteen defendants were then taken
back to the police station where number of them
were Individually investigated by Federal officers.
About the only question asked of Mother Bloor
was 'Do you know Kate Richards O'Hare?" to
which she replied in the affirmative
Then followed another trip in the patrol wagen
to the County Building, in which the county Jail
is also situated. Here, the men and women who
had been without food since their arrest, were
weighed, measured, and subjected to the Bertillon
