LEWIS GANG WAR
ON MILlTANTS
IN PITTSBURGH
Frame Up Charges on
Local Officials
tspeoIaI to the oalIy Workerl

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 13.
An attack on the progressives
in the United Mine Workers Of
America has begun in this dis
trict by the John L. Lewis gang
making charges against Local
1924, Of Canonsburg, and sum-
moning the local president, and
Pat Toohey, secretary, to an
swer charges as officers per-
sonally responsible for a sup

and for fostering a "dual move
ment."
Last Saturday three board members
and several of the old guard Organ
iEers" visited Canonsburg and went
about trying to find members Of the
local who would say there was no
legal meeting held on the date-one
was held in all legal form and can
didates regularly nominated for dis
trict Offices.
Financial Secretary Sells Out.
They bought of the financial secre-
tary to say that no meeting was held
that night, but many witnesses were
against him to prove that at least
three officials Of the local had told him
Of the meeting several days before 1t
was held.
Monday, at the district office, hear
ing was held. The charges were pre-
ferred by an organizer named Dob
bins. quoting Information received"
Toohey refused to answer questions
until told the name Of the informant.
It was then learned this was the fnan-
cial secretary Of the local.
When the hearing started it was
clear that the illegal meeting" charge
was only ruse. The inquisition last
ed two hours and hinged around the
accused officials membership and
dues. The mine has not worked for
over year, and according to the au-
dit, the financial secretary had sent no
tax to the district, but had applied
for remission for the whole local.
altho many members kept on paying
dues.
Pagan quoted Section IS, Article 40.
Of the district constitution, stating
that members are responsible for
whatever befalls the local. Toohey
exhibited receipts for his dues, but
the inquisitors refused to look at
them and said they would decide soon.
Seek "a Take Charter.
Local 1874 has membership which
is radical and many militants Of the
district belong to it. Pat Toohey and
Andy Harrison are candidates for un-
ion offices on the progressive slate
and the officials of District 5 figure
that If they can get something on the
local they can get rid Of trouble.
However, the miners Of District 5
are not going to allow the official gang
to put Local 1924 or its militant mem
bers out Of the U. NJ. W. Of A. Mem
bers Of the union are determined not
to let the militants be separated, and
all rebel elements are Joined in the
effort to avoid giving any excuse for
official disruption.

COOPERATIVE
CONGRESS ENDS
ITS SESSIONS
All Speakers Optimistic
About Future
tsy The Federated Press,

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 49,
The fourth cooperative con-
gress ended it's three day ses-
sions with dinner at the Co
operative Cafeteria at which the
spirit of optimism ruled.
Reports of the congress
showed that all the leading CO.
operative movements were rid
ing the Industrial depression
well and DR.. James P. Warbasse
and other speakers declared
that 1925 would find the CO.
operative movement as a whole
in much better position.
Two men from the far northwest
did most of the speaking, A. e. Goss,
Headmaster of the Washington State
Grange and Eskel Rom, Manager Of
the Cooperative Central Exchange, a
wholesale organization whose annual
business Of more than $625,O0O is done
among the Finnish Co-operators OF the
northwest. Goss, the Grange leader,
talked on Farmers and the Cooper.
alive Movement" and asserted that
the farmers were showing a genius
for getting together on economic
Issues.
Business Of Millions
Some idea of the Importance of the
cooperative movement in America is
given by the fact that the annual bust
ness of the sSS cooperative societies
affiliated with the Cooperative League.
which called the congress, is about
$13,OO0000. These 1888 societies have
an approximate membership of 10000
Only $50 societies took part in the
congress, however, many Of the others
conserving the costs of delegate. The
total number Of cooperative societies
in America is about $500, but the
stronger consumers societies are af.
f1lfated with the league.
Decision of the congress to appoint
health committee to work hand in
hand with the Workers Health Bureau,
a cooperative organization backed by
many labor unions, is of special inter
est because of the fight the Workers
Health Bureau is putting up against
"looney gas" and numerous other
poisonous materials which workers are
unnecessarily endangered by. The
Workers Health Bureau took an active
part in the congress, reporting on it's
constructive achievements, among
which are protective legislation and
the incorporation Of health clauses in
trade agreements.
Relations With Unions
Patronage of cooperative banks was
urgently recommended. One of these
banks, affiliated with the league. the
Commonwealth Mutual Savings Bank
OF Milwaukee, has a membership of
2,10O.
Resolutions passed endorsed the eff.
fort to reconstruct the federal farm
loan act to make it more cooperative
and allow stockholders to control their
own property; provided for more co.
operative education, with a national
organizer whose duties would be to
assist district leagues in cooperative
educational movements.
Closer relation with the trade unions
will be stressed during the coming
year. Eighteen labor organizations had
fraternal delegates at the congress.

GIRL OF THE ROCKIES
MAKES PETS OF LIONS

Cornelia Baker is the daughter
of Bob Baker, champion "Iive
lion" catcher of the Rocky noun
tains. They live on the western
boundary of Glacier National park,
where Baker has captured 500
lions in the last 20 years, thus
earning the record of having done
more than an army of big game
hunters in protecting the deer of
the vast game preserve of Uncle
Sans, according to a recent report
from the bureau of national parks
at Washington.
Cornelia makes pets Of the cub
mountain lions that are some
times included in her fathers
catches. He trees and ropes the
old lions with a lariat.
The tragedy of it all is that
Cornelia has to part with all her
pets when they grow up and feroc-
ity take the place of their Glowing
cuteness." Her father then sells
them to c~ircuses and Cornelia
cries at the parting. Then it is up
to dad to bring in another litter
of lion cubs for Cornelia to raise
on the bottle.

Other buildings were added later.
The first duty of the Second
Cavalry, after its arrival at Fort
Ellis, July /, 1869, was to go on an
expedition to the mouth of the
Musselshell to look out a practical
road to what was then expected
would be the head of navigation on
the Missouri river. This trip was
not particularly eventful.
In December, 1869, the Piegans
and other Indians became trouble
some, stealing horses and cattle
and dashing out of danger across
the Canadian border. Four troops
under Major Baker set out from
Fort Ellis on a 240-mile ride to the
Marias river with the temperature
ranging from 80 to 40 degrees be-
low zero. The route lay between
Helena and Fort Shaw and result
ed in the massacre of an entire In
dian village of Piegans. The
troops took the Indians entirely by
surprise at an early hour in the
morning and when the slaughter
was ended, betwene 1870 and 100 In
dams, men, women and children,
had been slain.
No particular credit can attach to
this brilliant" victory of Major
Baker as it was afterwards claimed
and very likely proved, that this
was a peaceable band, entirely in
nocent of the offenses which had
brought about its destruction.
In 1870 and 1871 there were ex-
petitions from Fort Ellis down the
Musselshell and the Yellowstone.
On the second of these, in 1871-72,
the troops guarded the surveying
parties on the Northern Pacific
route. During this expedition, the
battle was fought with the Indians
on what was afterwards termed
Bakers battlefield, below Billings.
About 1900 Indians took part in
this engagement. They were chief
ly Sioux, but numbered among
them were many Brules, Ogalal-
las, Cheyennes and stragglers from
five or six other tribes. The COM
mand had with it a considerable
beef herd, which was quartered out
side the camp. There were also a
number of civilians, who were fol
lowing the party, and who were
camped outside the regular camp.
Early in the morning one of the
civilians awoke and found a paint
ed savage bending over him. He
Immediately shot and killed the in
truder and the command, awaken
ed by the report, opened its eyes
upon the fact that the camp was
surrounded by Indians.
Firing was active and the In
dams retreated to the bench above
the camp. The battle was pro-
tracted until the cavalry saddled
UP and prepared to charge where
upon the Indians retreated in haste.
There loss in killed and wounded
had been heavy, the Indians adj
hitting a loss of 40 killed and 100
