THE PAINTED CHAMBER"
The builders lived in primitive
stone age. and all OF their imple-
ments and tools were made of
stone. The rooms. when cleaned
of debris, were found in a perfect
condition. just as left by their last
occupants. The ceilings were
standing. and many objects were
left intact by the former Inhabi-
tants.
The most stunning room OF the
great Aztec pueblo unearthed is
the Painted Chamber" DIT. Clark
Wissler states:
The room Is In perfect condl-
tion. the interior plastered and
painted In brilliant white. with dun
red side borders and a running
series OF triangular designs. No
room approaching this in beauty
and perfection has ever been dis
covered in America. Here was the

II is beneath the ruins OF this
magnificent pueblo. that the present
excavations are being made by
blasting holes through the solid
floors and excavating the chambers
OF the long prior race Of basket
makers. Herein the startling types
OF mummies are being found. de-
scribed above. From these wonder
ful preserved mummies OF $4,000
or perhaps $4,000 years ago there
is one significant inference. These
people must have been the fore
fathers Of the migratory race that
crossed the then mainland OF
Atlantis and settled In Egypt.
Truly, Egyptian primitive culture
was born here, and later perfected
on the banks Of the Nile.

pyramid structure, and Mexico has

COMPERS ATTACKS
RAIL LABOR BOARD

New ork.-Return to the old-time
method of settling disputes round a
table," and abolishment of the rail
road labor board were features of an
address by President Gompers at the
Civitan Club in this city.
The trade unionist declared that
meddling and muddling always follow
ed the governments attempt to inter
fere politically with the economic
life of the nation.
Compulsory arbitration was refer
red to as an attempt to legalize in
voluntary servitude. "This system
has been abortive in Australasia, y
said President Gompers. "The indus
trial court in Kansas has been a fiasco
and has accomplished nothing except
to widen the chasm between employed
and employers"
In referring to the anti-labor atti-
tude of many newspapers, President
Gompers said: This is natural be-
cause the proprietors of the large
newspapers are large employers OF
labor themselves"

Regular Grand Jury Finds That Criticism of Illinois
Officials By Special Jury Was Not Justified

Herrin, Ill.-In its report to Circuit
Judge Hartwell, the regular William.
son county grand jury said that criti.
cism of the state and county officials
made in the report of the specia
grand jury Investigating the Herrir
mine killings was not justified by the
record of the special body.
This statement by the regular
grand jury comedies with the claim
of attorneys for accused miners who
have publicly charged that the re
port of the special grand jury was
prepared in advance by Attorney
General Brundage, at the instigatior
of the Illinois chamber of commerce
which is raising funds for the prose
cution.
San Francisco.-No chamber of
commerce has yet demanded that the
men responsible for the loss of 47
lives in the Argonaut mine be pun
ished.
In Herrin, H., a mob was formed
after union miners were killed by inn
ported gun men. The gun men also

These wrongs, which big business
was permitted to perpetrate, were fol-
lowed by greater wrongs, and the
lives of score of strikebreakers were
destroyed.
1t is interesting to note the frenzy
of the metropolitan press anr cham
bers of commerce toward the second
not the frst-Herrin outrage, and
their silence toward the owners of the
Argonaut mine, where 47 lives were
lost.
The California law provides for
two shafts in each mine, to be connect
ed at the various levels The purpose
is to always have an extra shaft for
escape if one shaft is closed through
accident.
Parallel with the Argonaut mine
and on either side of it, are the Ken
nedy and Muldoon shafts. The own
ers of the three properties agreed to
connect their shafts and thus save
the expense of putting in extra
shafts. The Muldoon shaft, however
only went down to the 3,900-foot level
of the Argonaut mine. The Al miners
were working several hundred feet
lower down. The Kennedy shaft was

KANSAS TAXES ARE
HIGH

Pittsburg, Kan. - While Governor
Allen is picturing this state as the
modern Garden of Eden, because of
his "can't-strike" legislation, the de-
linquent tax list of this county con-
tains more than 1000 descriptions of
lands advertised for sale Some of
the best farms and homes in the
county are included.
The riotous squandering of the peo-
pies money under the Allen regime
has caused committee to investigate
conditions in this county. The report
says:
"We find the valuation of corpor-
alton properties, including the rail
roads of the state, were reduced last
year $300,000,000 and an increase plac-
ed on the farms and the homes during
the past two years of more than 20
per cent"

GEORGES SOREL
Aged Violence Advocate and
Defender of Sabotage
is Dead

Paris, France-Georges Sorel, for
80 years self-imposed adviser of the
workers and their unions, died in this
city recently, aged rs years.
Deceased was a civil engineer of
ability. Many years ago he resigned
an important government position and
identified himself with the extreme
left wing of the workers movement.
He was quickly recognized as one of
the leading authors of that group of
intellectuals that fastened themselves
on the French trade union movement,
and who insisted on the overthrow of
the present system by a succession of
general strikes.
Sorel openly defended sabotage
and violence by strikers. He was
highly educated, which made it posi-
BILE for him to weave philosophy
around his theory that caused this
freakish extremist to look like new
doctrine to certain class of impress
sionable wage workers in France and
other countries. The doctrine is still
urged by provacateurs and company
agents in the unions.
Sorel despised the state. Believers
in political action were the object OF
his bitterest sarcasm. He frankly
proclaimed his belief in violence and
the general strike as the only method
ITO destroy capitalism"
In his later years Sorel became less
enthusiastic about his early profes'
sions, but his destructive philosophy
is still cherished in every country By
small groups of "intellectuals" who
are impressed by wild theorizine
when brilliantly presented.

Washington-Res demand
ing that Attorney General Daugherty
be removed from office were adopted
at a mass meeting of trade unionists
and sympathizers in this city. Presi-
dent Gompers was the principal
speaker. This and similar meetings
throughout the country were held on
recommendation Of the A. F. of l..
executive council, to protest against
the shop mems injunction.
President Gompers called atten-
ton to the fact that each year since
1913 the appropriation bill for the
department of justice provides that no
part of this money shall be used by
the attorney general to prosecute
working people in their effort to bet
ter conditions" Attorney General
Daugherty was charged with wantonly
violating this provision when he
sought an injunction from Judge Will
kerson, whose mind he knew"
IF two men can violate the law" !"
said President Gompers, I'VE will, in
reality, have a government of two
men, who could control the destiny Of
millions, set up a government of their
own, and deny to the people the right
of trial by jury"
In series of singing resolutions,
the mass meeting declared;
Whereas, the office of attorney
general should be an office for the
upholding of law and the constitution,
instead of for their destruction, or
partisan enforcement, and it is intol-
cradle and unthinkable that it should
remain otherwise; therefore, be it

citizens of the United States, believ-

A. Conboy, international secretary
treasurer of the United Textile Work
ers of America, in statement to af-
filiates and to the general trade

"This propaganda is for the ex-
