Arrest Pickets.
Arrest of the leaders has had little
effect on the. workers morale, De-
spite reports of the daily newspapers
claiming many have returned to work,
only few have left the ranks and
none of the mines closed by the strike
have resumed operation.
Starting their campaign of intimi-
dation in the southern Walsepburg
district, the governors special police
carried their work into the northern
fields as well, falling leaders there.
Col. Paul P. Newton, commander of
the state national guard, with a group
of guardsmen, has been sent to the
north with orders to arrest pickets.
Armed Guards.
Guards of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Co. properties are being armed with
machine guns and coal camps through
out the state are rapidly assuming
martial appearance. A machine gun
has been placed in front of the Wal
senburg county courthouse, presum-
ably to prevent delivery of the jailed
strikers. Many of the prisoners have
been taken to Pueblo, outside of the
coal district.
Severe condemnation of tactics used
by the governors police is contained
in statement issued by the social
service commission of Colorado Me-
thodist churches. Recalling the hor-
rors of Ludlow, the statement declares
the clergymen view with apprehen-
sion the development of the present
coal strike" The commission charges
the police with gross violation of
constitutional rights in abridging free
speech and free assemblage and in
making arrests without placing
charges against the workers" Such
tactics are provocative of violence, il
concludes. The statement declares
the church stands for collective bar

mum in every industry.

EXPLOITED Mill
LABOR OF SOUTH
sold" TO NORTH
Hosiery Strike Leader
Tells of Misery

HENDERSON, North Carolina,
Nov. 17.-The workers of the mill
villages of North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama are practically
mt on the block and sold into servi-
tude by the power interests, and the
chambers of commerce, declares Al
fred Hoffman, general organizer OF
the American Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers Union, in recent analysis
of life in "Henderson-or Hell" and
in answer to the arguments OF those
who dilate on the fund of cheap labor
in the South as an inducement to
Northern manufacturers to move
down there.
The strike of 800 workers in the
Cooper Mills, of Henderson, which re-
suited in active strikebreaking by the
state Of North Carolina and the post
ing of militia armed with machine
guns at the mills, focused interest on
this particular mill town, not much
worse or better than most of the
others. Hoffman led the strike there,
which was betrayed later by crooked
leaders, and is now posted in Hotel
Melbourne, Durham, N. c., where he
is raising funds for a further strug-
gle in southern mill town. Following
is part of his description Of Hender-
son.

Hearst Papers Forgers
Tried Blackmail

is nothing but shameful opportunlsm.
at is shameful because those are
the very same faxed documents with
which certain parties tried to black
mail the government of Mexico. They
were offered for sale in $4,000 to
our consulate in Los Angeles, on Aug.
"a last, through DR.. Cutberto Hidal-
go; and even before knowing the text
of the documents, so sure were we Of
their lack of authenticity that our
consul was ordered to refuse the offer
and to inform the sellers that the
Mexican government was not inter
ested in them, nor did it care whether
they were published or not.
Blackmail Attempt Failed.
"Now some American newspapers
are publishing these very faxed docu-
ments, after some months have
elapsed, the blackmail having proved
a failure.
"The shameful opportunism of this
publicity clearly aims to hinder an
accord between the two governments
in matters at present under negotia-
tons"
The foreign office statement was
made just after Manuel C. Teller, the
ambassador, had returned from Mexi-
co where he had conferred with Presi-
dent Gales.
Offered to Other Papers.
Embassy officials also asserted that
the same documents were offered for
sale on a number of occasions to
representatives in Mexico City of sew
eral American newspapers and news
agencies, but all of them refused to
purchase them. The price for which
the forgeries were offered to Amer
lean news agencies in Mexico was but
$4,000, a $4,000 reduction for the
blackmail price asked for the for
geries in Los Angeles.
Because of Hearst's interest in
Mexico as the owner of millions of
acres of land appropriated from the
peasants and because he fears the en-
forcement of the land laws will again
place this land in the hands of it's
rightful owners his chain of papers
publishes the forgeries after other
publications have turned them down
flat.
Close political observers here see in
the Hearst publication of the series
of forgeries an attempt to justify the
frightful action of American armed
forces in Nicaragua and the ravaging
of that country by American imper-
ialism in order that the proposed
canal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific may be built as an aid to the
military and naval power of the
United States in carrying out it's de-
sire to dominate that part of the
world.

The sentence followed an amazing

Sweeney, IS, is alleged to have
waited in an automobile nearby,
while fifteen-year-old girls of the
institution scaled it's rear walls and
drove them to the home of William
A. Reider and his wife.
The story was told by a 345-pound
detective, Benjamin Casper, of the
Tenth district, and when he fin
ished, a jury in quarter sessions
court brought in a verdict of guilty
against the Reiders and Sweeney.
Sweeney was identified by two
young girls as the man who helped
them escape from the House OF
Good Shepherd and took them to
the Reider house. Casper testified
that Sweeney had communicated al
most nightly with inmates OF the
Institution and assisted in the
escape of six girls about a month
ago.
Casper told of a raid on the
Reider house October If, when
police found four girls. all under
age, on the second floor of the
house in company with two sailors
and civilian.

house by Sweeney after he had
helped them escape from the
institution. Mrs. Reider gave them
house dresses to wear. they said.

GEIsT's COLLECTION SPECIMENS FOR COLLEGE
 NUCLEUS OF MUSEUM

MT. Otto Wm Gcist who spent the summer on Nelson Island, St. Law renee Island and other points in the Boring Sea country collecting geolo- gical ethnolcgical and anthropologi- cal specimens for the museum of the Alaska College, recently reached Seward on the steamship Boxer" He reports a most successful sea- sons work which netted a host of valuable specimens winch will be la be,led and forwarded to the Alaska College
 President Bunnell is determined that the future museum at the Alas ka College shall contain specimen record of the life and customs of the Alaska Indians and Eskimos. He ap- preciates that unless this material is collected within the next few years, many of the specimens which com plete the continuity of the story, will be lost forever. With only sufficient funds to carry on the immediate work of the College 1t seems dis couraging problem to attempt to build so far ahead.
 Mr. Geist, former mining short course man, is one of those rare men who find their greatest pleasure in collecting scientific material. Realizing Mr. Runneu's desire to pre- serve the history of the native tribes and himself interested in scientific research, he spent one year in the Arctic collecting material which he has donated to the College. Last year he offered to make another col lecting trip into the Boring Sea coun- try, donating his time and asking only a bare allowance for his ex- penses. The Board of Trustees of the College accepted this offer and as the result of his efforts, the Otto Wm. Geist Collection will forms the nucleus of a priceless museum col lection for the greater Alaska College of future years.
 During the past six months Mr. Geist has been living with the Eski- mos and studying their customs. One Of the Eskimos from St. Lawrence Island recently wrote President Bun- nell that they had adopted MT Geist into their tribe and given him an Eskimo name He concluded by say ing that they were convinced that Mr. Geist's stomach was more like an Eskimo's than a white mans for he could live readily on their food and eat last summers meat
