About three years ago experiments
were begun in the Oklahoma agri-
cultural experiement station in Still
water, Okla, to find out whether
there was a possibility Of poisoning
from zinc-lined containers.
There was no actual knowledge
as to how much znic was present
in the tissues Of animals and of
plants used as foods, and q differ
ence Of opinion as to whether or not
such zinc was poisonous. Since that
time numerous investigators in diff
ferent places have been studying the
subject and records are now avail
able to indicate that any apprehen-
sion Of harm from this cause is hard
~ warranted.
The feeding of animals with SUBJ
stances containing zinc was the chief
method used for determining the
possible deleterious effects. No
noticeable harmful changes were
found, however, on the feeding of
zinc. Through three generations Of
animals. their chemical tests did not
reveal any accumulation of this mat
ter in the organs when the ANIMALS
were examined after death.
Buttermilk normally contains a
small amount of zinc, which amount
increases after contact with zinc con-
| tainers. The amount of zinc appears
to vary according to the lentgh of
time the buttermilk is in the con.
tainer, the amount of acidity Of the
buttermilk, and the newness of the
zinc surface that is exposed to the
action of the buttermilk. When ma
erial containing zinc in the dos:
ages concerned was fed to animals

appreciable way.

Pool Of Oil Interests

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. - The
committee headed by Senator Reed
tR.) of Pennsylvania, appointed FRI
day to investigate the charges made
N the Hearst papers that four u. S.
senators were under pay of the Mex
lean government, is already moving
to change the scope of its inquiry
from that of investigation of a prob
ably mythical graft case to some
thing that will enable them to give
an endorsement to the Hearst for
gerIes purporting to be Mexican
state documents.
The committee has also opened the
subject Of subpoenaeing the Mexican
governments ambassadorial and con-
sular officials in the United States,
and attempting to force out of them
information that will be useful to
American designs in Mexico.
Documents Exposed.
The Mexican ambassador has al
ready officially denounced the Hearst
documents" purPorting to show
Mexican support of Nicaraguans
and others suppressed or conquered
by the United States, as forgelies.
The DAILY WORKER has also
proved by Photographic evidence that
some of the alleged state documents
of Mexico were concocted in Hearst's
offices in New York.
The document which was published
last week, and made the excuse for
the senatorial investigation, was
crude thing, in which it
was stated that a fund of several
hundred thousand dollars existed for
bribing L. S. senators, and that four
senators had already taken brides
from this source. The names of the
senator's, however, in the printed let.

The first regular meeting of the

MILITIA RAIDINC

COLO. MINERS
Demand Grows for End
of Military Terror

LAFAYETTE, Colo, Dec. IL
With the population of the state of
Colorado swinging behind the coal
strikers, and all other means of break
ing the strike useless, reign of ter
ror by thugs in militia uniforms is
in sight.
1t has already begun in some sec
tions. The most recent case is that
of five drunken militiamen who Fri
day midnight raided the home of
David Reese here, and searched it
high and low for H. C. Duke, strike
leader. The militiamen disregarded
the pleas of Reese that his wife be
given time to dress.
No Warrants.
Duke was not found in the house,
he had never been there, but no argu-
ment could convince the militia. They
had no warrant.
Half an hour after the invasion of
Reese's house, militia broke into two
homes at Erie and arrested two men
without warrant.
A mass meeting has been arranged
Sunday at which are scheduled to
speak James Thompson, well known
l. W. w. orator, George Collins, of
the American Civil Liberties Union.
and Raymond Henderson, blind attor-
new for the strikers.
Demand Troops Recall.
At the meeting a demand will be
made upon Governor Adams to recall
the troops, as there is no trouble in
the mining sections that they do not
manufacture.
The meeting will demand that the
regular process Of law be substituted
again for military rules. There is
such an outburst of popular demand
for respecting the rights of strikers
that the newspapers are suddenly be-
coming righteous and are also de-
manding square deal for the pick
cts. The Sunday News of Denver has

The invitation to the peace confer
