Exposure of Indian
Reservation Steal
By Defense Society

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March Is.
I'm a statement issued by the In
dian Defense Association of Califor-
MIA, the administration Of the Indian
Pueblo reservations by the govern
ment bureau in charge of Indian af-
fairs is attacked.
The attempts of the notorious Sec
rotary of the Interior Fall, now re-
signed, to rob the Indians of their
land by the crudest methods were des-
cribed. The bill which was sponsored
by the Commissioner Of Indian AZ
fairs to cancel the inviolable land
titles and to confiscate Pueblo land
grants was defeated, but new and
less obvious line of attack is being
adopted now by interfering in the
internal religious and tribal customs
Of the Indians.
It is revealed that the Indian COM
missioner has autocratic powers to an
incredible degree, including its own
police system, its so-called court sys-
tenn, and a spy system rivalling that
of the former car.

New York Firm That
Moved to st. Louis,
Closed by a Strike

(By Worker Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 15.-On
Friday morning March 18th, 100
workers of the Western Leather
Coat Co. former New York City
firm, went on strike. This firm when
in New York employed about IL
workers. In the four years since they
have operated their sweat shop in
st. Louis the firm has increased
their force until now they employ
100 workers.
Several weeks ago the boss of the
firm declared that wages would be
cut 400. An organization campaign
was started by the Local of the Am
algamated Clothing Workers, and
Wont Recognize Union.
This morning the Committee of the
local demanded the return of the
wage-cut which had been enforced
and recognition of the union. The
firm declared that they would re-
tutn the reduction and even grant an
increase if the workers wished, but
that under no circumstances would
they grant recognition of the union
The committee countered that they
would not accept the return Of the
wage-cut unless the firm granted
recognition of the union; and the
strike was declared.
The workers of this shop are show
ing the proper spirit and the deter
mination to win this strike. The
stigma of st. Louis being an open
shop town where no union can sue
cessfully carry thru strike is in a
fair way to be broken.

Results In Very Many
Conflicting Reports

TONoPAH, New, March Is. -
While the settlement of Weepah, 3s
miles from here, was enjoying its
place in the sun today, by reason OF
the gold strike made there last week,
reports of great variance concerning
the possibilities Of the strike could
be had for the asking.
There are those claiming the mine,
where the original strike was made,
was "salted."
These assertions have been spiked
by Fred MINIS, president of the
West End Consolidated.

about it," he said. at is enormously

quartz is in all the surrounding

brought out only after long months
of work.

By ROBERT MITCHELL.

The company union, the nature and
methods Of which have already beer
described, can be understood only in
connection with several other such
devices which the PETERBOROUGH uses
to suppress its men.
The chief OF these is the spy sys.
tenn. Every railroad and practically
every large corporation employs a
more or less elaborate organization OF
spying on its employees. The means
which are used and the ends to which
the spy systems are carried have
been too frequently described to war
rant any extended description here.
Has District Spies.
In general, it may be said that the
Interborough system conforms to the
type in that it stops at nothing to
secure its ends. 1t is instructive to
note, however, that the PETERBOROUGH
spy system is almost an exact reflec-
ton Of the low character and deal
ings of the company officials, its
president, its president, its chief
legal advisor, its superintendent Of
departments, its company union Of
ficials, etc. While it cannot be
claimed, for instance, that the snoop-
ing tactics employed by the Inter
borough are more vicious or extreme
than the methods practised elsewhere
by employers, it is unquestionably
true that the local traction corpora
tons hold record for pettiness and
small dealings; petty larceny" meth
DDS, as the men on the road call
them.
The ''Beakey."
The 1nterborough spy system is
directed from division which goes
by the imposing title of Intelligence
Department" The intelligence de-
partment is closely related to the
legal department and may, indeed
be considered a part Of it. As will
be shown later the chief spy and in
quisitor is none other than Mr.. e. L.
Quackenbush, chief counsel of the
PETERBOROUGH.
According to information furnished
by Mr.. Quackenbush himself, the spy
system was founded a number of
years ago by man called Beakey
The founder, who died but a few
years back, nevertheless, did not live

to see the full fruits of his labor. Hi:
name, however, has passed down as
heritage to his now numerous fol-
lowers. The term "Beakey" has
come to be applied to everyone on the
railroad acting in the capacity Of in
former and stool pigeon.
To do "Beakey" work for the COM
pany is to carry out anything from
acting as the chief of the intelligence
department, position now occupied
by gentleman called Rhatigan, ia
serving as a petty "Dollar-a-day''
man. Of this latter, very interesting
brand Of informer more will be said
presently.
No Brains Needed.
In ordinary times the work of the
"Beakey" is not very trying; nor does
it require any even ordinary amount
of intelligence. The force at such
times is relatively small, varying
from ten to perhaps twenty men.
But in times of q threatened or ac-
tual strike, in a period following a
walkout or during a process Of ac-
tive organization such as the pres
ent, the force is increased to fifty,
sixty or even a hundred. The new
circumstances compel the employ
ment of numerous private" detec-
tives, secret service agents, Burns
operatives, etc.
The customary work Of the "Beak-
ey" is to "ride the railroad" His
business is to keep tabs of the men,
to report any violations such as
smoking on the job, speeding" the
train, sleeping in dead" cars, etc.
The penalty for these minor Of
fences is' usually suspension of sew
eral days. As has already been
pointed out, it is these petty suspen-
sions which, particularly since the
last strike, have become so neces-
sary to the functioning of the COM
pany union. For the slightest offence
or none at all the men are taken
off the job. In the past they would
have been sent to the company Of
ficials to adjust their grievances. In
every case, however, they must now
report to Paddy Connolly, who as
sumes the role of a benevolent Santa
Claus returning to them his bag of
company union tricks the gift of the
suspended bread basket. No one is
deceived by this cheap trickery. The

men need their jobs and they go to
Paddy Connolly because Of the pres
sure of their needs and not because
they have any faith in the company
union.
In addition to the Job of bringing
about these petty suspensions, the
"Beakey" must, Of course, keep tabs
on the agents who collect the money
from the turnstiles; he must always
be on the lookout for evidences of
agitation keep his eye on company
union meetings. etc. When business
becomes slack, when there is nothing
to report and the "Beakey" is faced
with the prospect of losing his job,
he may resort to chasing up the
newsboys who ride the trains. The
lnterborough is not above prosecut-
ing these victims of the capitalist
grinding machine which compels
boys of twelve and fourteen years to
spend the night hours seeking to
make the few pennies which in many
cases are the chief support of fam
lily.
Largely Ornamental.
The "Beakey's" work among the
men soon makes him known and he
is easily recognized. In fact, his part
in the elaborate spy system is a very
secondary one, and he may be said
to act as a sort of smoke screen to
hide the more subtle shoppers with
in the ranks of the men.
One of the chief sources upon
which the company relies for infor-
nation is a group of stool pigeons
known as the "Dollar-a-day" men.
The name has arisen from the fact
that certain of the workers receive
dollar day in addition to their
regular wages for the special service
of supplying information to the COM
pany. At first the dollar-a-day man
was appointed" from among the
workers directly. That is, the par
ticular men who for one reason or an
other were thought to be suitable,
were approached and given the zap
pointment." This crude method was
found to be unsatisfactory and the
technique has since become more
subtle.
To develop a good "Dollar-a-day''
man is no mean accomplishment and
the resources of all the PETERBOROUGH
intelligences were set to the task.
