arrest of Theodore Pert, superin-

for the under sheriff of Weld County.
on a charge of the murder of five
miners no arrests have been made yet
on these warrants.
Governor Adams announced that hs

of the miners. On the contrary, he
praised him for his great patiencs
and wonderful courage"
Hired Assassins."
David Sheehan, member of a coma
mittee of miners, in the northern
field, declared that, ''The men of the
Columbine mine who fired on US are
hired assassins of John D. Rockefel-
ler, Jr, and the miners are seriously
considering going to Governor Adams
in body to protest his sending mill
tary forces to the northern coal
fields"
Sheriff Robinson Of Weld County

Columbine mine boss and the county

Civil Liberties Union
Protests killing of
Miners in Colorado

Pointing to the slaughter in Colo
RADIO Monday of five or more unarmed
miners and the wounding of many
others as "an example of the tragic
potentialities of a situation in which
the state joins forces with the en-
ploying interests in an industrial
struggle" Forrest Bailey, co-director
of the American Civil Liberties
Union, sent a telegram of protest yes
terday to Gov. Adams of Colorado,
whose state police did the killing,
The complete text of the telegram
follows:
"Even if eyewitness Lacy's lurid
narrative is . accurate instead of a
frenzied attempt to prejudice the
public and justify the incredible ac-
ton of the police in shooting down
unarmed men, the Columbine Mine
affair signally exemplifies the tragic
potentialities of a situation in which
the state joins forces with the en-
ploying interests in an industrial
struggle to suppress the strike and
defeat its reasonable aims. This or
ganization, representing thousands of
thoughtful citizens throughout the
United States, earnestly appeals to
Your Excellency TO withhold the mill
tary, to refrain from declaring mar
tial law and to restrict the state po-
lice to legitimate business of protect
ing the public peace without preju-
dice to the strikers. Such humane
policy is the surest way to bring pres
ent conflict to an end without dam
gers Of a bitter and ruthless class
war"

more members of the Cleveland Un-

STOCK Decline
PAvES WAY FOR
BIGGER MERGERS
Big Fellows Take Ad-
vantage of Depression
BY I'll. NJ. W.

Following a week of desperate eff
forts to stop the downward move
ment of industrial stocks that char
acterized the previous weeks move
ment on the stock market, a renewed
fall took place on Monday that re-
suited in the leading stocks again
sinking. The last business days of
last week witnessed gradual rise,
the principal stocks selling one
eighth and one-quarter of point
higher each day, but Mondays de-
cline completely wiped out all the
increases and in some cases brought
stocks down to new low levels.
Leaders Decline Rapidly.
A number of the days declines
ranged from A to points. General
Motors fell more than 8 points and
United States Steel common lost
more than 2.
On Tuesday, however, industrial
stocks were deflected only fraction
ally from their opening and before
the close of the market had practi-
cally all recovered, remaining as
they were at the low close on Mon
day. But the two recognized stand
ard bearers, General Motors and
United States Steel, although expert
encing fractional recoveries in the
forenoon of yesterday, again dropped
to new low levels before the session
was ended.
Meaning of Movement.
The rise and fall of stocks that
}eems so bewildering to those who
regard the movement as thing in
itself, separate from general indus
trial conditions, is easily understood
in the light Of the present paralysis
that is gradually creeping over all
industry.
