BALTIMORE, April $50 far the
bituminous strike has had little effect
on any of the coal companies closely
affiliated with Baltimore interests,
such as the Elk Horn Coal Corpora
ton. Inc: Consolidated Coal Co. and
Davis Coal and Coke supply Co, ac-
cording TO reports. These companies
control most of the soft coal mines in
Maryland and West Virginia. So far
no difficulties have been experienced
in any of the fields in which the COM
panies operate.
These companies are served by non
union fields, and this naturally has
a good effect when other places are
experiencing difficulties resulting from
the strike.

corrected its position and reduced

During July Russian purchases
through Amtorg Trading Corp. in the
United States broke all monthly rec
ords by over 500. The total, exchl-
sive Of cotton, was $4,60O,000. Orders
for the first ten months of the current

Bron, chairman of Amtorg's board.
Cotton purchases this season made
by the All-Russian extile Syndicate to-
tai S4S,000,000. Most of Amtorg's
purchases are production rather than
consumption goods-machinery, equip

CHICAGO CROWDS
GAS BOMBED BY
MOUNTED POLICE
Cops Attack SaccO and
Vanzetti Mass Meeting
By THURBER LEWIS.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 21.-Fully
half of Chicago's police, motor and
foot, concentrated at or in the vicinity
of Ashland Auditorium, Ashland and
Van Buren, ST., Friday night and dis
persed with hickory clubs and tear
gar bombs several thousand workers
who gathered for a scheduled protest
in that hall against the execution of
Sacco and Vanzetti.
Not content with keeping the
streets sparse with demonstrators by
frequent charges, by running motor
cycles on the sidewalks and by ex-
plosions of tear gas-squad cars,
racing up and down nearby thoro-
fares, frequently stopped long enough
to allow plain clothes men to leap out
and arrest workers recognized as par
ticipating in previous protests. George
Maurer, Secretary of the Chicago In
ternational Labor Defense, Aurora
D'Angelo, arrested in the protest
parade of last week and ten others
were taken to various district sta
lions and held incommunicado over
night. Efforts to locate them failed
until noon Saturday when they were
found to be booked on high bail for
"inciting to riot"
Bunk About "Mobs.'
Local newspapers and national
press services are carrying stories of
"surging mobs" and girl riot lead
ers." They are also featuring the ex-
plosion Of two bombs, one in a res
taurant, obviously the result of a
trade war and the other in a candy
company, probably for the same rea-
son. These are openly proclaimed to
be highly suspected" of being the
work of Sacco and Vanzetti sympa-
thizers> As for the "mobs," it is
many years since such an impressive
police force has been modified in one
place in this city. Not for ten
seconds were more than five people
allowed to come together in the
neighborhood of the hall. The doors
at both entrances, on Van Buren, and
on Ashland were guarded by double
row of uniformed and plain clothes
officers.
The violent suppression of all right
Of free speech and assemblage that is
confronting the radical and labor
movement of the city in the present
agitation for Sacco and Vanzetti is
unprecedented since the famous raids
of 1919.
Another attempt to voice a protest
against the legal murder of the two
Massachusetts workers will be made
on Monday under the leadership of
International Labor Defense when a
demonstration will gather at Vernon

Police Arrest Greeks
AS Fear of Workers
Power SeiZes Bosses

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-Two Greek
workers, Economies and Hogelias, one
of whom is a representative of the
daily Greek paper, Empros of New
York, were arrested without warrant
this morning by Boston police, upon
their arrival from New York After
being illegally detained and brought
to the police station, they were cross
examined by the police officer and
later by the representative from the
State house.
In questioning, the police were par
ticularly interested to secure a state
ment of the use of force in the revo-
lutionary struggle against capitalism.
The question of whether or not the
detained workers believed in the use
of force was asked about Is times.
Finally, the representative from the
State house wanted to know what
would the workers do if they were in
majority and were attacked by the
minority, to which Comrade Hogelias,
the representative of the Greek pa
per, replied, "Once the workers come
to power and are in majority they
would not stand with folded arms and
allow themselves to be attacked"
The fright and imagination of the
police officer further prompted the
question as to whether or not there
exists an underground Communist
Party. The police have searched the
bag and also the shipment of books
and were somewhat. perplexed and
alarmed at seeing the books on Lenin-
ism on Organization, Elements of Po-
litical Education, and the Building Up
of Socialism. They were also alarmed
at seeing large number of leaflets,
used for the purpose Of announcing
mass meeting.
Nick Economies was asked what he
was doing in Boston and in reply he
frankly stated that he comes to Bos-
ton after losing his job in New York,
on account of participation in the
Sacco-Vanzetti strike. On further
questioning Comrade Economos stated
that if the strike should be called on
any other time he would not hesitate
to join.
1t was evident that the chief reason
for the arrest is the apprehension of
the police regarding the possible
strike and their desire to prevent this
strike by terrorizing the workers.
However, this terrorism does not stop
the determination of Boston workers,
who are meeting tonight at the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Hall, to
consider the calling Of a general
strike for Monday.
