Here Is the sworn statement Of
Frank Lansinger, American citizen,
ex-soldier and sergeant in the expedi-
tionary forces and mill mechanic.
It tells how he was hired at Sal!
Lake City to work under the "Ameri-
can Plan" in San Francisco, how he
started with $50 other men and ar
rived here with eight survivors after
a sleepless and mealess trip, how he
was put up at the Dale Tallac hotel,
operated by open shoppers, and final
ly, after having his tools and CLOTH
ing stolen. he was put to work as
day laborer, and finally turned loose
on the town when he demanded that
the terms of his contract be lived up
to.
By FRANK LANSINGER.
I am native born American citi-
zen. I rendered service for %
months in the United States army in
France during the late war.
I was wounded four times in ac-
ton, having. been in the battles of
the Argonne, Dead Mans Hill and
Verdun.
I was taken and held prisoner foc
four and half months in a German
military prison; I was fonorably dis
charged as a. sergeant from the
United States army.
I am a married man and my wife
is about to become a mothe; I am a
first-class journeyman millman and
in July was living in Salt Lake with
my wife. I was out of employment,
and almost out of money withwhich to
provide for my family when accept
ed employment from the salt Lake

workmen who left Salt Lake to work
in San Francisco under the open shop
plan but eight arrived in San Fran
cisco, all Of the rest having deserted
Iile tram dL various stations on the
way to San Francisco.
On arriving in San Francisco I
went to the Dale-Tallac hotel, 40
Ellis street, which hotel is being op-
Grated by the chamber Of commerce
in San Francisco.
There I found that the workmen
were crowded into rooms with as
many as four men sleeping in 6
room
The meals served at the hotel were
| prepared and served by negro cooks
and walters.
Says Food Rotten.
The food was SO bad as to be almost
unfit for human consumption, and
complaint was made about the rotten
food by almost every man in the
| hotel
Thereafter the negro cooks and
walters were discharged and China
men and Japs substituted in their
| places. but after the arrival OF the

safety and made confession that they
were merely camouflaging for certain
oil interests in the United States.
''The state department, which had
been led into an apparent warlike
demonstration against Mexico by send
ing war ships into a. friendly harDOr,
was Immediately swanlped with yele-
grams from all parts Of the United
States protesting against any such
demonstration. OF course, the prompt
hess with which the Mexican govern
ment put down the petroleum rebel
lion in the Panico district made it
unnecessary for the war ships to re-
main for longer period than ~ hours
and the order was given to get out
and get out quick which left the actors
in this opera beuffe in very bad grace
with the state department at WASH
ington and the state department at
Mexico, and there was nothing to do
but lean heavily upon the boycott.
''The first skirmish resulted in
victory for the Mexican government
and defeat for the 'oilers.' How
ever, it was announced the boycott
would be continued Notwithstanding
the Washington government had
quietly decamped from the field of
action.
by the middle Of August it be-
came very apparent that the Mex
lean government was going to be able
to hold out for a much longer period
without the tax than the boyco1ters
were without the OIL
The Standard crowd then deter
mined to send the heads of the lead
ing compa anies which had entered in
to the boycott down to Mexico City,
and they succeeded in persuading the
Mexican government to allow them
to pay this tax quarterly instead of
IN monthly"

ROADS TRY TO FORCE
STRIKE, jewell SAYS

Bert NJ. Jewell, head of the railroad
department Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, charged that railroads
were attempting to force their en-
ployes to strike. 1--WE have evidence
that railroads are trying to force us
to strike," said Jewell. "A strike
would give them an opportunity to
establish the open shop" Officials
Of the four brotherhoods will meet on
Oct. 1 to count the strike ballots
taken several weeks ago, after which
the future actions Of the unions will
be announced.
