MEXICO BANDIT
ACTIVITY GROWS
BAD IN NAYARIT.

NOGALES, Sept. % lP)-Reports to
the Nogales Herald indicate that bandit
activities in the state of Nayarit, Mex
leo, are growing worse instead of bet
ter
Nayarit, the baby state of Mexico
and just opened during the past year
by the Southern Pacific of Mexico, is
apparently the center of recent bandit
outrages. One advice coming from
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, says an official re-
port has been filed with Washington
by the American consul saying that
on September 20, an armed band of
200 men engaged federals at Porte
zuelo, Nayarit in which score were
killed and an unknown number
wounded
This dispatch says the band was the
same that on Monday OF this week
attempted to hold up a train after
having torn up section of track and
cutting communications near Acap-
oneta.
Another report to the Herald from
Tepic, Nayarit, says that on Septem-
Der 10, a group of so men armed and
mounted, stationing themselves on both
sides of the tracks a few miles south
of Acaponeta, fired on a southbound
passenger train after having torn up
the track at a surve.
The train was saved only by the
engineer going into reverse immedi-
ately upon the opening of the firing
and backing into Acaponeta, where
federal force was sent out.
At Ruiz station repair train sent
out was fired upon, one worker being
killed and four wounded, the report
says, declaring that the situation is
becoming serious. Another report
from Tepic is to the effect that unless
better protection is afforded by Mex
leo, the railway will have to cease
operations through Nayarit.
These attacks followed heavy fight
ing on September II, when Barajas
and Ell Pillaco, bandit leaders, joined
forces of 100 and 300 men, respectively,
and dispersed the military at San Jose
De Gracia, Nayarit, with both sides
suffering heavy losses.
Forces of the bandit chiefs Ell Pillaco
and Mayorquin have been augmented
the past week by the entrance OF out
law bands from Durango state. These
leaders have taken possession OF the
town of San Jose De Gracia, and ac-
cording to latest reports they are still
holding it, although troops have been
sent against them.
An unconfirmed report to the Herald
saws that three soldiers were killed
Yesterday by bandits in the Acaponeta
district.
Shortly before his departure here
todav Governor Francisco Ranalrez
Romano, of Nayarit, told the Herald
that the Mexican government was do
ing it's utmost to protect people in the
bandit infested zone.

somewhat challengingly: What's
all this conversation about anyhow ?"
"It's about teeth, fellow worker -
/ Taliferro said. 81 don't know what
it's all about aside from that
though"
Bjornson's face Redeemed. Frown-
ing he asked: Say, for Jesus Christ's
sake Can't a fellow get new set
of teeth without being kidded about
it,"
"They certainly are beautiful
teeth, McF'ee smiling, looking at
Bjornson. II can't think Of any rea-
son for getting all dolled up like that
for an l. w. W. meeting though. And
looking at the other side of the ques-
tion,-just how would an l. w. w.
secretary get them anyhow, consid-
ering his salary? How about it, fell
low worker?"
What are you getting at?"-
Bjornson rising, his arms stiffening
as his sides, hands clenching.
"Pm getting at this: Bjornson is
not going to be chairman tonight"
what do you mean I'm not go
ing to be chairman"
"Where did you get the teeth ?"
-McFee leaning forward smiling
again in the same battling, contra
dIctory way that was like threat.
"It's none of your god damned
business where l got these teeth"
"Tel us where you got them or
I'll tell you where you got them in a
way you won't like"
"You will? What do you mean
you'll tell?"
"Neyer mind. What are you going
to do? 2"
Silently the two faced each other
momentarily. Then Bjornson said:
why Miss Atwood paid for them,
if that's what you're driving at.
What of it?"
"Where does she get her money?
Where does the money come from ?"
"How in hell do l know where it
comes FROM"
you mean that? And you're
secretary of this /. w. w. hall? And
you expect to be chairman of the
meeting tonight? Are you sure you

"And you're a member Of the 1.

Fees index finger tapping the palm
of his other hand.
Bjornson had become thoroughly
angry. For many weeks since his
election as secretary of the hall he
had worked from II to Is or even 18
hours day for the organization. The
membership had grown. Efforts to
raise money for the General Defense
Committee for use in the important
/. w. w. trials just ahead had been
successful. Tonight's mass meeting
with Haywood as speaker was to be
the climax of a strenuous period.
Bjornson was tired, even irked, by
the strain of continuous concentra-

ton on details Of defense and organ
ization work. With his enthusiasm
thus frustrated unexpectedly in a
way that was not entirely clear to
him he became metamorphosed into
"a purely physical force. Nc
Fee still stood motionless looking at
him. Bjornson thought of all the
work he had done conscientiously
and well for the 1. w. w. Rage
clouded his mind, blurring his eyes.
Quickly he reached backward and
sidewise, clutching the rounded top
of chairs back, starting an upward
swing, poised on the ball of his right
foot. His face was convulsed.
"You son Of" he started ex-
claiming.
Then Tyler's hand shot forward.
Tyler grabbed one of the chairs
rungs checking the swing, Bjornson's
strength lifting Tyler out of his seat.
Tyler's face was thrust near Bjorn-
sons. Everyone was standing. Talk
ing rapidly, looking hard at Bjorn-
son, Tyler asked: "Are you a mem
Der of the l. w. W.? Is this the L.
w. W. hall? What are you trying
to do, bring the police up here?
What's the idea, swinging chairs
around here! Sit down.
Bjornson dropped down in a chair,
the others sitting down one by one,
watchfully.
"Christ almighty! Why should l
sit here and let McFee call me a
fink?"
Larson said: whatever he called
you, you're acting the part of a
damned fool now"

my mother" Bjornson said. He was
breathing hard. He added: "And
she's straight with the |. w. W"

from pm Fee leaning forward
smiling, index finger tapping air.
'I-"
:" The working class and the capt.
talist class can have nothing in COM
mon.' Think it over, fellow worker.
And there's still another angle. The
General Defense Committee needs

W. w. as an organization takes
money from bourgeois sources, don't
forget, and it's another matter when
an individual member takes it. What
would happen if the word got around
that |. w. w. secretaries were using
their jobs to get money for their per-
sonal use? What would happen, fell
low worker? Where would we get
bail money then? Where would the
General Defense Committee get
funds for the expenses of the trials
if that story got around?"
Bjornson sat silent, sullen.
Then McFee asked: GLOW are
your books Fin good shape?"
Bjornson began looking darkly at
the other faces. All but McFeo were
looking at the floor inscrutably. Nc
Fee was looking at him.

up. And then: Christi" again.
"This is dirty, god damned dirty. Pm

the wall, looking fiercely around tlNss
room, he strobe out the door.

The men in the room listened to
the pounding of his footsteps on the
stairs. They heard the door at the
bottom of the stairs open. They heard
it close again and knew Bjornson had
gone into the street. They sensed too
that he would not be back that night,
perhaps not even the next day.
Straus began laughing. The others
joined, McFee laughing also, hoarse-
ness wheeling, ringing in his chest.

not make Edmond chairman"

into the room.

Torrey wanted to know if Bjorn-

Taliferro said: "Jesus he was
mad. No; he won't show up at all.
He's got the keys to the hall here
too. Somebody will have to sleep
here tonight. He won't be back"
Straus would stay all night in the
hall. He had his overcoat Another
coat was hanging in the closet. Tyler
would stay too.

your position is we'll taken and cor
rect but she really is straight with

McFee's laugh was wheeling again
in gusts through his barred teeth.
McFee was going, rolling a cigaret
for smoking on the way.

said, should not be allowed to drain,

"In primitive times men died or
