tTIACH and all of us carefully fol
~ lowed up the development of the
great British strike, and it is with the
greatest intentness that we are now
watching the miners fight from day
to day. The big strike and its little
leaders will long serve as an object
for study for the workers everywhere
who will learn from their example
how not to conduct strike. What
is most valuable for anyone In
terested in the fate Of the information
al labor movement is the evidence of
those who participated in the strike
and particularly of the members Of
the general council which brought
such a splendid strike to such a
shameful close. The statement issued
7 by the general council members after
the strike should explain to every
worker how this happened; that is the
main thing agitating each and every
one Of US.
That is why particular interest at
taches to what the three left general
council members, SwaIes, George
Hicks and Ben Tilet, wrote to Com
rades, national and international" in
Lansbury's Weekly.
A one reads interest changes to
n Indignation and that is the feel
ing the reader takes away. That is
because when you take up this state
ment of theirs you look for one thing
and find another; you look for the liV-
ing word of eye-witnesses, the truth
about what happened, and find-well
this wonderful document had best be
left to speak for itself:
THE general strike has ended,
having served the purpose of urgent
and necessary defense. 1t was the
first great effort to command a
mighty movement Of sympathy to-
wards one section of the commun-
ity who, up to the expression of ma
tional resentment, labored under
conditions in the mines of absolute
penury. Scores of thousands Of
men working a whole week were
forced to obtain parish relief.
THE government and their satel-
4 lites met our gesture of comrade-
ship with an armed force: naval,
military, police and volunteer; COM
manded the most lethaI modern
weapons of warfare and organized
from Lands End to John o. Croats
for the purposes of repression-and
massacre if opportunity presented.
To that the British trade union
movement met a determined refus-
al Of labor which not merely ar
rested the organic trades but para
lyzed all industry from Lands End
to John o. Croats. The government
and the employers, even after our
courageous gesture of peace, have
with witness and chicanery en-
deaVored to misrepresent the logi-
cal meaning of our act as being one
of surrender. How meanly false
this cowardly travesty of the truth
is will be obvious in a few weeks, if
not in a few days.
THE distinct lessons arising cut
L of the dispute are:
Firstly, a demonstration of pow
er and comradeship greater than
has ever been manifested in our
British trade union movement.
Secondly. it showed the econom-
ic grip Of the workers upon all in
dustries, and whatever may be said
or done by the volunteer blscklegs
from university or slum, it demon
strated the power that the trade
union movement commands over
industrial resources.
Thirdly, we closed a virulent and
vehement capitalist press and ar
rested its circulation of poisonous
lies and Misrepresentation which

INSTINCT BASIS
 OF ALL RELIGION
Argument Has No Place. Elm
 City Editor Says

New Haven, Dec. 13.-Instinct rather than argument is the basis for worship of Christ, Rev. Elmore McNeill Mckee, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church of this city told an audience yesterday in Battell Chapel at Yale University.
 This world needs a full under standing of the perfect character, faith. prayer and devotion of Jesus. all of which gives mankind pie ture of its human destiny, he said.
 Such thoughts which led the dis ciples and which lead us to worship Jesus come by instinct rather than by argument. When one takes a friend to behold the Matterhorn or Notre Dame or a painting of Ra- phael or to hear a symphony of Beethoven, he does not say for the following reason this is noble, this is beautifuI,' but he simply alters beauty and truth to make their own impact.
 When we see Jesus with our mind and heart and soul, with our intellectual, aesthetic, emotional and Volitional capacities, with the full unity Of the personalities with which God has endowed us, we are privi- legged to recognize Him in all His glory, and to know there is none other worthy to be Lord of man kind.'

WANTS ORM|STON
 TAKEN ID CALF.
But Dist. Atty. Doubts His
 Value as Witness

! Los Angeles, Dec. Is Pl-District
 Attorney Asa Reyes. who is in Phil adelphia on private business, is talk ing steps to extradite from Chicago Kenneth G. Ormiston, fugitive CO., defendant in the Aimee Scmple Me Emerson conspiracy case, but his value as witness either for or against the woma evangelist is in dispute.
 Deputy District Attorney F. J. Dennison and W. l. Gilbert. chief counsel for Mrs. McPherson, argued the matter here last night, the de- lputy prosecutor suggesting that the presence of Ormiston at the evangel- ist's forthcoming trial is imperative ito the defense"
 To which Mir. Gilbert replied that he had mo more use for Ormiston than wooden leg"
 "The prosecution is in the same position as the man who caught a bear by the tail" said Gilbert. He had an easy time getting him but a tough time turning him loose. Or miston looks like the bear in this case"
 However, Reyes, in a private tele- gram to the Los Angeles Times, sent last night from Philadelphia, states he had wired States Attorney Grove in Chicago requesting the arrest of | the radio ln who is now at liberty in the city.
 The pros cutor's message con- tained the information that he was preparing to ex4 radi Ormiston.
 A certified copy of the warrant and complaint on file here against Ormiston charging conspiracy 10 de- feat justice and subordination Of perjury. was onward d by air mail Ito Chicago last Saturday and should ireach the police of that city today, In the meantime an examination by Prof. Art''ur R. Mass. teSacolo- gist, of f ceads found on an overcoat in Ormiston's automobile. which was recently for | in Oakland. revealed that instead of being hairs from q Iwoman's head, they are wooden Ifbers.
 The examination further showed that the fibers were identical to those drawn from womaus coat which was among the contents of trunk seized in New York as allegedly be- longing to ormiston. Several strands
 of Auburn hair were found on the
 seat of the automobile, Pref Mass said.
 The state is attempting to prove Mrs. McPherson swore falsely be- fore 6 grand jury in telling her story lof being kidnapped and taken to Mexico last spring. and that in real ity she spent a part of the time of her absence with Ormiston in a cot tagc at Carmel, Cal, an ocean re-
 sort.

MAYOR SHOT BY
 HIRED GUNMEN
West. City Executive Killed at
 Instance Of GangdOm

Benton, H., Dec. 13 CP - Joe Adams, 300 pound mayor of West City, 20 miles from Herrin. who was shot down by two unidentified men as he stood in the front doorway of his home late yesterday is thought to have been a victim of hired gun men.
 Adams, q former roadhouse pro- prietor, whose term would have ex- pired next May, had .figured in southern Illinois gang strife through his admitted friendship with the Shelton gang, and had reported that Charles Birger, militant leader of a rival gang, had threatened his life. His life had been threatened before. and he- secured a deputy sheriff to guard his home.
 The Sheltons and the Birgerites, Ku Klux Klan. now are pistol points in a struggle for southern Illinois liquor traffic supremacy.
 Adams was called to his doorway after his wife answered a knock and found two young men standing there. They told her that they had a let ter for Joe," and added that it was from Carl Shelton. leader of the Shelton camp, who was released on bond last Thursday from a jail at Peoria, H. He had been held spend- ing trial of a mail robbery charge.
 The mayor came to the door, eX- tended his hand to receive the let ter, but was answered with two shots from the gun of each of the men. He turned, staggered and fell, with three bullets in his body, and died, 40 min- uts later. He was able to tell his family only that he had not recog- nized the men.
 The fourth bullet, which went wild, buried itself In the leg of 8 table in the house.
 None of several men standing nearby were able to catch the license number of the automobile in WHICH l0e Sull1llen eSCdptu-
 Death Toll Is Two.
 Herrin. H., Dec. Is P-The slay- ing at West City late yesterday of Joe Adams by two unidentified men as he stepped to the front door of his home raised to two the number of southern Illinois mayors who have met violent deaths within the last two months at the hands of gangsters.
 Jeff Stone, civic head of Colp. a small town near here, fell dead from machine gun fire on the main street of his town on the night of November 6. after he was lured with Police Chief John Keith to a resort where 1t was. reported there was trouble. Stones assailants felled him as they sped by in three automo- piles which had been waiting on a side street.
 Keith was shot in the hand as he started to run away, and John Mill roy, a pugilist friend of the mayor, was killed when he ran to his as sistance.
 Stones death was attributed to enemies he had incurred in his poli- tical activities, or to i'll feeling en- gendered by his killing more than a year ago of John Freeman. former deputy sheriff and police chief at Colp.
