Far-Off Australia
(By Federated Press)

Sydney, N, S. W.-The campaign
for starting chain of labor daily
newspapers in Australia is now in full
swing. A levy of $3.50 for each male
adult unionist and $1.25 for each
female and juvenile unionist has been
made and the money is coming in well
up to schedule.
The utmost enthusiasm prevails
among the unions for the labor daily
newspapers, and it is expected that
the first of them will be established
at Sydney early in 1922. Arrange
ments will shortly be made for the
necessary equipment of the dailies,
though most of the machinery is al
ready on hand, while massive five
story building has been erected.
1t is expected that contract will
be signed up with The Federated Press
for the supplying of international
cable and mail news.

Killers Go Free
GUN MEN, DUBBED DETECTIVES
CLEARED BY COURT
Slayers of Sid Hatfield and Ed Cham
bers Declared Not Guilty of the
Murder of MingO Miners
(By Federated Press)

Welch, w. Va.-Baldwin-F Felts de-
tectives have just been acquitted by
jury here of charges of numbering
"Sid" Hatfield, picturesque leader of
the Mingo miners. and "Ed' Cham
bers, his youthful lieutenant. Those
found not guilty were C. E. Lively,
Buster Pence and William Salters.
These men, with group of other
Baldwin-Felts agents who act as
strike guards for the West Virginia
and Colorado mine owners, shot and
killed both union men on the court
house steps here, in revenge for the
killing Of seven agents in Matewan,
w. Va, the year before, in battle
between town officials and the COM
pany agents.
Hatfield and Chambers were muir
dered on July 81 as they walked un-
armed to the Mcdowell County Court
House in answer to the charge that
they were involved in a shooting that
occurred at Mohawk the year before.
They were pals and mountain men,
crack shots with pistol or rifle and the
victor in battle with Baldwin-Felts
agents at Matewan on May 19, 1920,
when these men sought to evict union
miners from their homes. In this
affray Albert and Lee Felts, two of
: the brothers of the notorious Lee Felts
who conducts the agency, and five
others, were slain. Mayor Cable E.
Testerman and three townsmen were
killed by the assailants.
Hatfield, as the police chief of
Matewan, surrounded by other union
sympathizers, all good shots and to
be trusted, had nothing to fear in
Matewan, which is in Mingo county,
where the miners have been on strike
for nearly two years.
1t was when he was indicted in Nc
Dowell county on another matter,
after his acquittal in Williamson, the
Mingo county side for the Matewan
affair, that Hatfield knew he was in
danger.
He appealed through the United
Mine Workers for protection, and it
was granted, apparently. He and
Chambers, accompanied by their
wives, made the trip from Matewan
to Welch They were met on the
train by Lively, who engaged them in
pleasant conversation. The latter ac-
companied them to their hotel.
Hatfield and Chambers were told
TO carry their guns, but when the
former remarked in a characteristic
way that this would not be mice" in
view of the protection that the court
would give AS they went up the
steps, however, shots rang out from a
large group of BaldwinFelts agents
that stood at the top, and first Cham
bers and then Hatfield rolled down,
dead, pierced by a number of bullets.

He r. grets that he was not present to

way that it brought personalities up
in no commendable way. We have
this petition, and any reasonable
