their crops through, are in a position

union men, now idle in securing re-

No recommends tions are made as
to the removal of Van A. Bittner, in
ternational representative, from Ala

matter for the attention only OF
the international president and vice

coal coal fields, but failed to embrace
it." However, the committee says,
the award of the governor Will be
strictly adhered to
Members of the committee making

place 452 men, women and children
with no shelter, no food, no clo4hinS,
! no jobs nothing. We realize that
you and the coal Operators are re-
sponsible for these conditions and
| We take these means to inform you
| that we will not be responsible for
any situation that may arise from
this unhappy condition"
The letter continues: There is not
red blooded American anywhere
who is going to see the very life
blood Slapped out of his wife and
! babies in this manner" Two local
unions at Adger and Johns today
| passed resolutions "to uphold and
abide by the laws of the state until

FEW GERMANS GOING

MEXICO CITY, Apr. 9-German
immigration to Mexico has so de-
creased that not more than 500

Senator Capper, and Representative
Tfncher, both of Kansas. The mea'

.dav. will be similar TO the Dill
which failed in the last congress, but

tions. 1t will not win the approval
of course. of the grain gamblers,
for it's chief purpose is the ellmlna-

The revised bill, according to Sen

changes under the bureau of mar

said. twill end the activities of the
private wire houses, where 50 per
cent of the real gambling is done"
The bill, by another provision,
would require publicity for all flu
ture grain transactions and would
require cancellation of boards of
trade permits if they should not pre-
scribe rules to prevent gambling.
Declaring that the decline of 40
cents in the price of wheat in the
