Rockefeller Company Demands Use OF Troops
German Mine Strikers
Secure Eleven Per Cent
Wage Raise; Ask Fifteen

BERLIN, Oct. 21.-The 10000
striking Ignite miners won VIC
tory today when they compelled
the government arbitration commits
sion, after two days of deliberation,
to decide that they should receive
an II per cent raise in wages. The
commission granted the compan-
les and the trade unions until to-
morrow evening to determine
whether they will accept the de-
cision.
1t is doubtful whether the miners
will accept the offer. The miners
demand a Is per cent raise. The
owners declared that no raise
could be granted.
In case either side rejects the
arbitration decision, the arbiter,
under the German law, can declare
the decision binding. After that
ruling continuation of the strike
would be illegal.
If the miners should accept the
decision it would mean that the
basic wage of the miners will be
raised from five marks, 20 pfen
nigs, or about S1.25, to fifteen
marks, so pfennings, about 80
pfennigs, about $1.40.4 The strike
is expected to bring wage demands
throughout German industry.

Engineer Firms Believe
Too Many Workers Die;
It's Bad for Production

YORK, Pa, Oct. 21.-There has
been an alarming increase in the num-
ber and severity of industrial acci-
dents, and unless accidents are di-
minished to "an irreducible minimum" /"
the nations industries will fall short
of maximum production, it was ad-
mitted today in report of a nation
wide survey of safety and produc-
tion discussed by the administrative
board of the American Engineering
Council.
The study involved the accident and

concern Of the investigation.

GOMEZ AGENT IN
PLEA FOR ARMED
INVASION BY u. S,
Reactionaries Who Blew
Up Train Captured

MEXICO CITY, Oct 21.-Federal
forces under Gen. Jose Escobar were
reported tonight to have Gen. Arnulfo
Gomez and his band of counter
revolutionaries trapped in the Oriz-
ada Volcano region, where Gomez
sought refuge after his defeat near
Ayuhualco ten days ago.
Gen. Escobar is in active command.
A report that Escobar had been
wounded and brought to a hospital
here was denied. If the federal COM
mander was wounded in the last bat
tile with the Gomez forces, his IN
juries were not so serious as to keep
him from continuing in active COM
mand of the drive on Gomez, and no
report was made.
The region where the operations
are being carried on is very rough
and several days may be required to
complete the movement.
Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. 81. - The

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 21. -
The counter-revolutionary forces, led
by Gomez and Almada, made an open
appeal yesterday for the invasion of
Mexico thru Jose Elguero, journalist,
recently expelled from Mexico for
counter-revolutionary propaganda.
After indulging in a TRADE against
the Gales Government, Elguero de-
clared, "There can be no peace in
Mexico, no future for the people, no
hope, for any one as long as the
Washington Government persists in
maintaining Gales in power" After
reciting alleged "acts of violence" on
the part of the Mexican Government,
Elguero, making a direct plea for
American Intervention says, 81 am
sure the American Government, if it
knew the real facts, would not per-
nit such outrages."
In view of the hostile attitude taken
by the State Department in it's re-
lations with the Gales Government,
"the support" referred to by Elguero
is taken to mean the absence of
armed intervention.

ton.
The owners are in hurry to get
the miners out of their houses, stop
picketing, fill up the mine with scabs,
break the strike and get the miners
back to work on an open shop basis.
In addition to serving eviction notices
the company is carrying on a cam
paign to terrorize the miners and
their families. The picket line main
tanned all through the night is not
alone for regular picket duty but
also keeps watch over the houses of
the locked-out miners families to
protect them from night raids by the
Coal and Iron police and deputies.
Four Miners Assaulted.
Today there are two miners in the
Washington County hospital and two
at home, badly injured as the result
of the latest Yellow Dog attack last
Sunday night. The young doctor of
the union local at the Aurora mine
said his office looked like a slaughter
house when the men were brought in.
George Harkow has fractured skull
and several deep lacerations of the
scalp; Albino Galiginni has his whole
lip torn through, and decorations OF
the scalp; Angelo Simonetti and Joe
Lazar also have lacerated scalps, and
the former a seriously injured eye.
Wanted Help From Picket.
All last Sunday afternoon the
miners had seen Yellow Dogs boozing
in the sand-shack just outside the
company stockade. Around $500 one
Of them beckoned to a picket on the
three to six shift and demanded to
be told where he could get more moon
shine, and drunkenly waved around
bunch of bills. He didn't get much
information from the picket. Then
at $3.50 one of the coal and irons
came out of the sand shack, and sud-
denly walked up to Harkow, who was
on the picket line, Con the public
road), pulled out a blackjack, and
began.
Harkow happens to be big husky
fellow and resisted again and again,
but the Yellow Dog had the black
jack, and he kept on till Harkow was
down, with fractured skull.
They got Galginni coming down
the road on has way to the doctors
office for medicine for his sick child.
Lazar had just stepped out of the
picket shack on the other side of the
bridge when some of the other Yellow
Dogs attacked him. Simonetti | saw

home, with big bloody pad over his
eye, and big swelling plastered up
on the back of his head, and his

At the demonstration tomor-

Coyle Refutes Axtell.
In a sharp letter sent yesterday by
Albert F. Coyle, secretary of the
trade union delegation, to Silas f.
Axtell, lawyer who accompanied the
mission, joining it in Europe, accord
ing to the Herald-Tribune which pub
lished in yesterdays issue a state
ment attacking the report of the dele
cation part of which have already
been made public, Coyle challenges
Axtell's contentious and accuses him
of misrepresentation.
Coyle's letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Axtell

statement to the press relative
to conditions in Russia investi-
gated during the past summer by

cation and the technical and ad-

Because the statement reput-
ed to you is so sharply at var

facts as they were investigated
by the delegation in Russia, l am

ADMIRAL s CASE
WITH COOLIDGE

corning the efficiency of the Navy
doomed up today as n probable
sequel to the case of Rear Admiral
Thomas p. Magruder, who has been
relieved of his command at Phila.
delphia by Secretary, Of the Navy
Wilbur because Of HIS criticisms of
Navy administration.
Admiral Magruder has appealed
directly to President Coolidge for
revocation of the order issued by
Wilbur. The President Is expected
to receive Magruder's protest today
and early action seems likely.
Navy chiefs appeared confident
that Mr.. Coolidge would sustain
the order Of Secretary Wilbur who
acted. however, after a conference
with the powerful bureau chiefs of
the department.
They pointed to the Presidents
support of the War Department in
the Col. BILLY" Mitchell case and
his recent recall of Major General
SummeralI from the Pacific Coast
because OF speeches criticizing the
Administration.
Secretary Wilbur took to the
White House today Magruder's APP
peal from the order relieving him of
his Philadelphia post.
Wilbur did not discuss the case
with the President, and did not say
whether Magruder's letter was &C.
compahied by q recommendation
customary in matters of this kind
to INCLUDE a recommendation.
Mhgruder's appeal over the head
OF fhe Navy Department is not an
UNUSUAL or unethical action, Wilbur
