GATEWAY POOL
HALL IS RAIDED
Three Men Face Gambling
Charges AS Result of Action
Started by County Attorney

A raid on the Sterrett- -Siebold pool
hall at Gallatin Gateway Saturday
evening resulted in the arrest of
three men and the filing of informa-
tiOns IN the district court charging
them with violating the anti-gambling
statue.
The raid was made by Constables
Rufas Selvage and George Border,
who were accompanied to the scene
by County Attorney Seth F. Bohart.
1t was made quietly and without os-
tentation, and proved a surprise to
the owners and patrons of the place.
Cards, chips, and $50 In currency
were seized and are being held as
evidence.
Those arrested were J. M. Ster-
rett, one of the proprietors, and o.
w. Sprigg, the latter alleged to have
been acting as ''banker" for the game.
]. w. Siebold, partner of Sterrett,
was away at the time of the raid, but
was taken in custody upon his return
to town. The nformations were
filed by County Attorney Bohart

were required to post $500 bail each,
while Siebold put up $500 to secure
his liberty. They have retained At
torney Roy M. Keister as counsel.
According to the county attorney,
numerous complaints had been re-
ceived recently that gambling was
being openly conducted at Gallatin
Gateway, and these led to the action
taken. The arresting officers assert
tAat gambling game was in prog
ress when they entered the place Sat
urday evening.

last week at Beall park, to make room
for new and more commodious COM

3.O75, or Is per cent, whereas
$50, or only % per cent, of the
4,096 men registered stayed away
from the polls.
The margin of 2 per cent in
favor of the men becomes more
impressive when it is considered
that they constituted 81 per cent
of the total registered electorate.
The showing made by Gallatin
county voters, both men and
women, is far ahead of the rec
ord in many other Montana

FUND FOR FLOOD
RELIEF GROWING
Gallatin's Response To Appeal
For Help Prompt and Gener-
Ous-TO Exceed Quota

Generously responding to an appeal
by the National Red Cross for $500
towards an additional fund of $5,0OO,-
900 for the relief of Mississippi val
ley flOed sufferers, Bozeman and Gal
latin county people have already con-
tributed nearly $3.50 and indications
are that the local quota will be sub
stantially exceeded.
The campaign was begun late last
week with the issuance of an appeal
by L. E. Hathaway, chairman of Gal
latin chapter, American Red Cross,
in which he said:
Gall of us are aware of the nation
al disaster that is sweeping the
Southern states in the great flood
area. An appeal for help has gone
forth to every community in the
United States to do its share in re-
lleving and caring for the helpless.
The distress is growing hourly. The
first call upon Bozeman and Gallatin
Red Cross chapter was for $500
and for $5,000,00 from the entire
country. But Mr.. Hoover in his sur
vey finds that another $5,000,000 is
needed, and all quotas have been dOu-
bled. Gallatin Red Cross chapter is
now requested to furnish $500.
Gin view of the awfulness of this
calamity, it would seem that a spe-
cial drive for funds would not be
necessary, and so we are calling upon
everyone to respond with $1.00 or
more, as he or she may feel able
to give generously and freely.
"When disaster came to Gallatin
county help was Immediately forth
coming. Let us turn about and dc
our share quickly and gladly. May
ask for your dollar now?
: Sincerely,
''L. E. Hathaway, Chairman,
"Gallatin Chapter, A. R. c."
The response was prompt and
gratifying. The fund has grown rap
! idly since Saturday, and. promises to
I run well over the sum asked. There
, is urgent need, Mr.. Hathaway says
for every dollar that can be collected
and there will be no relaxation of eff.
. fort when the goal of $500 is reached
More than 100000 men, women an6

Vim. PiCkGnS Casts
Doubt on Tale Of
NEGRO MurderGrs''

MAN, So, Killed Defending Wife
from 2 Negroes" That is how the
news of the day headlines the report
that woman and her husband were
forced by two Negro robbers to drive
off the main highway into an obscure
lane in New Jersey, where the man
was robbed and then shot because he
objected when the robbers began to
rob his wife. All that part of New
Jersey is now one big mob hunting
Negroes, picking up any Negro who
is found on the highways.
Just a word of caution: We have
had many such cases of robbery and
murder where the robbers and muir
derers never materialized. This wo-
mans report may be entirely true,
even as to the color of the robbers,
but there are several things calling
for reflection and investigation:
u The wife is the sole witness
as Ruth Snyder was the sole witness
to the murder and robbery" of her
husband.
p Two burly, stochily built, well
armed robbers, who had forced man
to drive his car off the main road
into a lonely lane and then forced
him to give up his valuables, would
not then have to kill him in order
to rob his wife Even if he was
angered by rough treatment of his
wife and tried to fight, 65-year
old man could be handled by two
burly robbers without being shot.
81 Granted that the robbers I'M
necessarily killed the man, why did
not they kill the woman to destroy
the only witness and to proven iden-
tification? They could not be
punished any more for killing two
than for killing one-and would be
a little less likely to be punished at
all if they killed the two rather than
only the one.
a When a woman's husband is
killed by robbers, especially by black
robbers, and the wife is the only
witness, and the wife is found on
inquiry to be twenty years or more
younger than her husband, that case
deserves careful investigation and no
hasty action.
Let the rigtheously wrathful citi-
zens of New Jersey think coolly and
act with Judgment and moderation.

Army Moves on Canton.


There have been spread thruout
the city large number of poster
proclamations signed Kwangtung
committee and Canton Delegate Con-
ference containing information re-
garding the remarkable series of
victories of Yeting's revolutionary
army which is approaching Canton.
The Canton Chinese papers re-
port that the Communists still con-
troll the Kuomintang organizations
and peasant unions in the Kweichow
district from whence they are dis
patching their agitators to this city
to aid in preparation for the general
strike that threatens to be initiated
by the railroad workers. This COM
bined threat of a military invasion
accompanied by general strike has
thrown the reaction into a frenzy
against the workers, but their eff
forts thus far have been futile and
every day the mighty power of the
workers grows to greater proper
tions.

Normal as Strikers
Back After Victory

With the victory achieved by over
1000 produce truckmen who went on
strike last Thursday afternoon, deliv-
cries returned to normal over the
weekend. A SIS a week increase was
won by the men after a 24-hour stop
page called by Local POP of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Transfers
and Chauffeurs.
The strike of the produce truck
men came almost at the same mo-
ment when two other locals of team
sters, with membership Of 1000, had
forced trucking firms to grant a SIS
raise after militant three-day strike.
LOngshoremen May Go Out.
Meanwhile a strike which may in
volve about 10000 longshoremen in
New York City and at least $4,000 on
the Atlantic seacoast is practically
certain in view of the denial of tent

is demanding.

Orders New Reprisals.
Pei Chung-chi, the defense COM
missioner of Shanghai, has ordered
a new campaign of reprisals against
the Communists, declaring that all
revolutionaries must be exterminated.
This order has thus far remained
only on paper and cannot be carried
out because of the difficulties en-
countered by the combined power of
the peasant attachments and the
revolutionary troops.
Defeat Wuhan Troops.
The Chinese evening papers report
that government troops despatched
from Wuhan into Puchi district
(South Hupeh) to suppress the in
surrectionary movement have met a
terrific defeat at the hands of the
revolutionary army and peasant de-
tachments and was forced to return
in disorder to Hankow SO menacing
to the reaction is the sweep of the
revolution that the Wuhan military
authorities are frantically building
trenches around Hankow as a de-
tense measure against the approach

1t is now clear to all workers who
have heretofore participated in the
economic and political struggles in
cidental to the great northern drive
of last spring that only the Com
munists are capable of putting up a
determined fight for their elemen-
tary demands and they are flocking
to the revolutionary standard, fully
aware of the necessity for wide
spread strikes to back up the armies
in the field against the reaction. This
will also serve to bring the railroad

The Miners Stand.

This is the stand that we, the min
ers of Colorado take. We demand
that the l. W. W. as a whole throw
it's every resource into this state for
the next thirty days, and we ask that
the militant element of the organ
lied working class give us their sup
port to the fullest measure. This.
being done, and following our battle
here, labor movement will be built
in Colorado that will be capable of
challenging the power of the bosses.
This is the logical place for the
militant part of the labor movement
to concentrate. The workers have
been peoned to an extent that is inn
possible for one who has not seen it
to imagine. And here is the one
place that the sermon of "peace.
brother peace" will no longer be toll
Grated. The workers have too vivid
a memory of the Ludlow Massacre
to believe that the owners of the
earth have their interests at heart.
Speakers and organizers are well
coined as long as they will urge soil
darity. The coming battle will be
worth fighting.

Hold Three Meetings.

As an example of these union
wide demonstrations may be taken
the event in Petrosavodsk, the capt.
tai of the Autonomous Socialist
Soviet Republic of Karelia. In this
busting industrial and shipping CEN
ter of $4,000 population three meet
ings were held simultaneously on on
Iy II hours notice, and they had
combined attendance of about 10000.
The largest of the meetings was held
in Revolution Square where speak
rs in Russian, Finnish, Karelian and
English addressed the vast crowd
that filled the square A band from
the big furniture factory, where
1000 workers are employed, played
the Revolutionary Funeral March
and the International, as the multi
tude stood in honor and respect for
the two true sons Of toll who had
died like heroes.
Held In Club.
There were two other meetings
held at the same time One was in
the club of the railway workers
union, called there because the sta
tions and railway shops are located
several miles from the center of the
town and the uncertain weather made
it doubtful whether the meeting
could actually be held outdoors, in
which case the combined seating ca
pacity of the biggest theatre and
restaurant, which were to be used if
an indoor meeting became necessary,
would not have sufficed to hold the
crowd. The same reasons impelled
the holding of a special memorial
meeting in the club of the Karelian
Sharpshooters Battalion, a palatial
building once occupied as the head
quarters of the Greek Orthodox
Catholic Bishop of the North"
Resolutions of solidarity with the
American workers, and especially the
Communists, in their struggle
against the iron heel of American
imperialism, were adopted unani-
mously at all three meetings.
