Statement of the Workers (Communist) Party
of America on the Colorado Strike

Colorado coal miners are on strike,
led by /. W. w. organizers. The min
ers have witnessed the failure of the
United Mine Workers officialdom to
organize them and have for this strug-
gle chosen another leadership.
The strike shows the undying spirit
of the Colorado miners. Dominated by
the Rockefeller interests, whose COM
pany union was set up further to en-
slave the miners after the Ludlow
massacre in 1914, the state of Colorado
is the scene of a struggle between the
workers and Rockefeller and his gov
eminent.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, a Rockefeller subsidiary, is
bringing its full power to bear to
crush the strike. The state authorities
are carrying out the instructions of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
Colorado is an old battle-ground
for militant labor struggles. Cripple
Creek and Ludlow are historic spots
where the mine operators and gov
eminent have brutally murdered min
ers, their wives and even their chill
dren. These were only bloody dem
onstrations to the American workers
that under the system of capitalism
demand for decent wages is Grim
inal offense and that work on the en-
ployers' terms is an obligation of the
workers to the capitalists enforced by
the capitalist state at the point of the
bayonet.
In 1914, the murderous force of cap
italist government in Colorado slaugh-
tered Louis Tikas, the heroic foreign

Judge Wants Trial
Marriage With Lots
OF Work for Lawyer

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov. L.
A five-year-term marriage, mutually
renewable or voidable at the end Of
the period by either husband or wife,
was suggested today by Charles s.
Burnell, presiding judge of the Los
Angeles Superior Court, as a sub
stitute to the present civil contract
Of marriage.
''Term marriages" under Judge
Burnell's plan would be contracted
for period of five years only, re-
Movable by mutual consent only for
second similar period, terminated by
the desire of one party or both, or
terminated by divorce upon two
grounds only adultery and extreme
cruelty.
Court Decisions.
In case children were born to the
union, or property was amassed over
which disputes arose, the principals
would be subject to court decisions
similar to the present alimony and
custody hearings.
Support of the children would be
fixed by statute upon an equitable
basis, as well as future support of a
wife or husband who should be unable
to care for herself or himself after
termination of the marriage.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. I. -
Capital diplomats have heard that
Coolidge and Kellogg will appoint
Banker John w. Garrett to the impor-
tant post of ambassador to Peru lin
which lies the point of contest over
Tacna-Arioa and its nitrate and cop

Garrett comes Of a family of three
generations Of Baltimore bankers. He
is also a career diplomat" sent to in
teresting and important posts where
American financial power is in any
way inconvenienced. In 1916 he served
French propaganda purposes by max

Turnout the great war he was in bel

the United States entered, he was

thru the Pershing mission, to settle

NOTE ON BURNS

William J. Burns, head of the most

breaking agency in the United States,
became a hero" of the open-shop
employers in the railroadiAg of mem
bers of the structural iron workers to
prison during the labor struggles in
the western states fifteen or more
years ago.
Under Harding's presidency Burns
became head of the department of in
yestigation of the department Of JUS

e~orced out as one of the Coolidge adj
illustrations efforts to cover I'D the
scandals of the Harding Coolidge re-

Holmes Loses Job
Of Successor to
Convicted Mayor

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. l.
Ira M. Holmes today quilted the Of
flee of mayor after several days of
actual control and management of the
affairs of this large city. His claim
to title was finally, after considerable
elaboration, denied by the courts.
Holmes argument depended upon the
right of a republican party former
mayor, John Duvall, to appoint a
successor after Duvall himself was
convicted, fined, and sentenced to a
term in Jail for corrupt practises.
Duvall appointed his wife, who then
appointed Holmes and resigned.
K K X. and Republicans
The Duvall conviction was partly
the result of the revelations made by
VIM. Stephenson, at present serving
a life term in the state penitentiary
for numbering a girl he had raped.
Stephenson was formerly the absolute
political boss of the state, and welded
power over all republican party poll
ticians thru his control of votes of
the Ku Klux Khan. He was dragon
of the Realm Of Indiana" for the
K. K. K.
Stephenson's assistance in the pros
ecution of his former associates came
after he was repeatedly refused a
pardon.

Affidavits State Jury
Fixed" in Graft Trial
(Comtinued from Page One)


which Fall and Sinclair, having been
shorn of their fraudulent leases for
the benefit Of the bigger oil COM
panies, especially the Standard Oil,
will be allowed to escape prison.
The trial of the former cabinet Of
ficer and the oil magnate has been
accompanied from the outset by
vague and ugly rumors. The capital
has fairly buzzed with them.
Man From st. Louis.
One of the stories current, and I'M
derstood to have been Investigated,
concerned the panel Of veniremen
before the jury was drawn. A mys-
FERROUS and unidentified man who
represented himself as "a st. Louis
lawyer" was reported to have vis-
tied q large number of veniremen
seeking data concerning their char
acters and lives. He represented
himself, according to the story, as an
attorney for some Of the persons
killed in the St. Louis tornado and
ostensibly was seeking "heirs to es-
5ates." His questions, however, con-
cerned principally religious and fra
ternal affiliations, station in life, and
other pertinent matters.
Generous Prosecutors.
From the very beginning, the spe-
cial prosecutors for the United
States, Roberts and Pomerene, seem
TO have been strangely lenient in the
matter Of questioning jurors. 1t was
generally understood that this jury
was friendly to the defense.
The cost to the government in case
Of mistrial will be enormous. Most
of the witnesses were brought from
far distances. One man was sub
poenaed from Honolulu. Moreover,
the governments case was practi-
cally complete before the discovery
that something was wrong with the
Jury, and there are no surprises for
Fall and Sinclair in the next trial
If there is one.
Significantly enough, the argument
for declaring a mistrial comes before
the defense is put to any particular
expense, and before it has been
forced to show the line of its case,
beyond the CONGRATULATIONS spoken by
Attorney Littleton in the early days
Of the trial.

Smith, confidant of President Harding
and supposed to be the go-between of
the administration in various deals in
which it was charged that large
sums of graft money were passed.
Jess" Smith was one of the fire.
quenters of the 'little green house in
TX Street" together with Harding,
Daugherty and others. Queer stories
of the later announced "suicide" of
"Jess" Smith in an apartment he
shared with Harry Daugherty have
been widely circulated in Washington
circles. 1t was limited that Smith did
not kill himself but was murdered.
It has been charged that the in
formation secured by Burns while
head of the department of justice in
vestigation department has been used
to blaclmail various individuals.
In newspaper circles it is rumored
that William J. Burns utilized the
Wall Street explosion in 1920 to or
ganize drive on labor and revolu-
( itonary clements which served to di-
| vert suspicion from the real cause of
the disaster said to have been the ex-
plosion of a wagon-load of nitro
glycerine which was said to have been
illegally transported by the Du Pont
Powder Co.
It was the work of Bartolomeo
Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco in behalf
of Salsedo, an Italian worker who had
been arrested in the dragnet thrown
out for radicals" and who was either
thrown from the fourteenth story of
q Wall Street building by department
of justice agents, or who committed
suicide following tortures by these
agents, that first attracted attention
of the authorities to Sacco and Van
zetti.
The latest jury scandal revives
many stories of the activities of the
sinister figure of Burns and his or
ganization of spies and st1ihebreak-
ers, which, during the Harding ad-
miuistration was brought directly into
the machinery of government.
