Continued Raids On the
Colorado Miners

Continued from Page One)
miners from the Centennial mine re-
futed the operators claim that they
are financially unable to pay for dead
work or recognize the pit committee
by showing that the Centennial has
check weighman and pit committee
and pays for practically all dead
work.
Operators Fight Pit Committee
The pit committee is being fought
by operators before the industrial
commission. The lying Denver Post
blazes with headlines saying that the
men are returning to work Monday
on agreement with the operators
pending settlement.
A denial has been issued by Tom
Connors, secretary of the miners ex-
cutive committee, stating that miners
voluntarily put themselves on "war
rations" preparing for long drawn
out struggle.
= Two Witnesses For Miners.
DR.. Drucker, nationally known econ
omlst, is expected to take the stand
tomorrow as a hearing witness. He
came from Commonwealth College to
serve strikers with his experience as
statistician. He is expected to be val
liable in the hearing.
State coal mine inspector Dalrymple
also will probably appear as a miners
witness tomorrow. His attitude is
friendly and in his annual report
blames the operators for conditions.
The Denver Coal Company was
fined $500 yesterday for short weight
coal sold to consumers.
Arrest and Deport Molks.
Frank Molks, chairman Southern
strike, arrested Monday when re-
turning from mass meeting at
Valdez, near Trinidad, was yesterday
released at the Walsenburg jail. He
was run out of town by the state
police and then brought to Denver.

and dramatic power. His voice meets
all the exactions of the Wagnerian
heroes, which is combined with superb
acting, Althouse being magnificently
endowed with that rare combination
"a magnificent singing voice and the
ability to act so that his parts live
before the audience.
Selections from Faust are sung in
French, while other selections are
sung III italian.
Tarasova's Russian Songs.
Nine Tarasova, dynamic interpreter
of Russian, Caucasian, Tartar and
Gypsy folk songs, is always head
line attraction, No one who has heard
her singing of "The Birch in the
Meadow" fused by Tschaikowsky in
his Fourth Symphony can ever for
get her depletion of the peasant wo-
man, tired of her drunken sot of
husband, or her rendition of "The
Sorceress" who makes all men mad
for love of her but cares for none
of them.
Other Famous Stars.
While these two artists make up
attractions that far surpass the usual
concert, there are two other stars
that make this the greatest collection
of performers to appear at one time
on any concert stage this season. They
are Doris Niles, world-famous dancer
and Sasha Jacobson, who is we'll
known to New York audiences.

days age, the force hunting for Hick-
man was reduced by "Red Chief"

custody of Pendleton police. three
airplare loads of detectives were dis
patched there. The police admit they
have no clue of Cramer.

Central Labor Union IN
Boston Sldetyucks Relief

Local Z, pointed out that great
danger was facing the labor move
ment because of the injunctions which
are flooding the trade unions. One
of the fights for the miners is against
the injunction, he said.
Officials Side-Tracked Relief.
While the discussions were going
on some of the delegates from
straw" locals who are at the same
time city officials, poured cold water
on the motion to call mass meeting.
They even dared to say it would be
a failure, and that we couldn't over
rule the decision of the A. F. of L.
Mike O'Flaherty, of painters union
local IL, rose up and stated that any
delegate who would say such things
does not really represent the workers.
Other delegates stood with him.
Then the officials Unanswered the
meeting so that substitute motion
was put through to refer the question
to committee and so the question
was side tracked.
Rank and File Growing Militant.
This was good lesson to the rank
and file delegates of what officials
who hold city jobs will do. Even such
a conservative delegate as Michael J..
Flynn favored a mass meeting. This
means that the rank and file is
awakening and before long there will
be action in the ranks.

immediate appropriation of $350,0O0
for the Kings County Hospital to re-
lieve intolerable conditions in that in
stitution. Rebuilding plans, involv-
ing an expenditure of $6,325,OO0 are

ployes of the hospital are now housed
in a leaky old building which should
be demolished as health and fire
hazard.

"YOur Another" Is 'eq
City Wrangle Cry

PAWTUCKET, R. T., Dec.23. The
people of this city are wondering who
lied to them when President DAILY
of the Blackstone Valley Gas and
Electric company recently ordered his
meter men to snoop around cellars for
stills, he stating that the United
States District Attorney had directed
him to issue the order. The United
States District Attorney countered by
saying DAILY was saying something
that wasn't so. DAILY rescinded the(
order today but insists that the DISC
trict Attorney is another.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Edward
J. Kidwell, the juror who told report
ers he expected an auto block long
from the Teapot Dome oil graft trial,
now a witness in the criminal con-
tempt trial of Harry F. Sinclair and
William J. Burns, stuck to his story
that he had been inundated into
swearing to two affidavits which were
false.
Not His Affidavits.
Although KidweIl admitted that one
Of the affidavits which he had made
in the office of the district attorney
had been dictated by himself he in
sisted that others had been written
by U, S. Attorney O'Leary. who had
put his own words into them.
Kidwell made the charge that his
father and mother chad been bullied
and mistreated by the district attor-
ney's office"
Sailing Charge Made.
Defense counsel made the charge
that O'Leary was deliberately stalling
with the witness, retracing old ground
solely to prevent the start of cross
examination and to have Kidwell on
the stand as his own witness after
The holidays.
Kidwell has positively identified D.
E. Merritt as man who got on a
street car with him and followed him
home while the oil trial was in prog
ress.

tang generals against the Soviet
Union and representatives of the
Soviet Union embraced the whole of
South China, the atrocities at Canton
being but it's most fragrant example.
"The political responsibility for
these atrocities rests on all of the
leading persons of the so-called "Na-
tionalist" governments. Not only are
Chang Fak-wei and Ii Fu-ling, who
acted at Canton, but others like Ii
Chi-sheng, Chang Kai-shek and Pei
Chung-shi are equally guilty of these
crimes.
Reaction Responsible.
"But responsibility also falls on
other forces of world reaction hostile
to the Soviet Union. The decisive
part in loosening these events was
played by the instigation of the i'm
perialist and White Guardist groups
in China and inspiration from Lon
don which was clearly manifested and
was later definitely confirmed by the
praise of the British press.
"The British imperialist reaction
must be recognized as the chief NOV
ing force of the slaughter ateCanton
and the acts of violence. committed
against Soviet Union citizens by the
murder of some and the deportation
of the others.
TOilers Grieve.
"The toilers of the Soviet Union
are deeply afflicted at the death of
their comrades who were tortured by
the henchmen of the south Chinese
counter revolution, but their martyr
blood has not been shed in vain. Four
hundred million people can not be
stopped in their struggle for emanci-
patton and the militaristic cliques,
who from leaders of the nationalist
movement have become its enemies,
will be entirely swept away.
The emancipated Chinese people
will not forget their Soviet friends
who have fallen at the hands of it's
enemies and whose memory will still
more solidly bind the peoples Of the
two great states which are already
bound with ties of blood.
"The government of the Soviet
Union, in the unprecedented barbar-
GUS acts committed by the Chinese
counter-revolution and the forces
standing behind it sees manifest at
tack against the Soviet Union.
Pursues Peace Policy.
while immutably pursuing policy
of peace, the latest expression of
which was the disarmament PROPOSE
ton at the Geneva Conference, the
Soviet Union stands prepared for the
worst and will not be taken unawares.
"On behalf of the government of
the Soviet Union, the Peoples Com
missariat of Foreign Affairs, protests
to the whole world. against the afro
cities of the Chinese counter-revolu-

"The government of the Soviet
Union reserves the right to take all
