CUARDSMEN TOLD
TO SHOOT TO KILL
"You Have No Mother
No Sweetheart"

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, July 81.
Before leaving for the summer
training camp at Ft. Wright, New
York, the members of the National
Guard here were told by the officers
that they should be ready to return
at any time for duty" in New Bed
ford on account of the strike.
"My mother is one of the strik-
ers," said one of the National
Guardsmen. what shall / do If
am called on to shoot?" The Off
Ger replied:
"In the military service, you have
no mother-no sweetheart. If you
are called upon to shoot you shoot
to kill. If there is any nonsense, you
will be court-martialed."
The statement caused wave of
indignation among the men. Of the
So men, 70 are textile workers and
10 are strikers.
The National Guardsmen did not
make any reply for they did not wish
a court-martial just for fun, but
many of them declared privately
that when they have any fighting to
do it will be on the side of the
workers.

company, nevertheless, continued
the prearrango,d farce Of defend
ing" the motorman in such way as
tcimake him appear the more guilty.
Another Investigation"
A report issued by the Transit
Commission likewise seeks to blame
Zellig for the accident. "Our in
spector said that the motorman
probably failed to see the train
ahead and simply ran into it," Com
missioner Charles C. Lockwood
stated. Nothing is said in the re-
port issued concerning the criminal
use of wooden cars which the Tran
sit Commission has itself been
forced many times to condemn. The
Transit Commission, which has per-
mitted the traction companies to
violate scores of regulations with
immunity and which during the
1926 l. R. T. strike winked at viola
tions which were a menace to thou
sands Of lives, now joins in the
frame-up against the innocent
worker.
1t is believed that the labor move
ment will make an issue of Iellig's
case and will not permit traction
justice to railroad this innocent
worker to jail for the crimes of
Frank Hedley, James L. Quacken-
bush and the Tamamny hirelingS
whom they control.

EVIDENCE SHOWS
CLERICAL GUILT
Mexican Police Seek
to- Blame Labor

MEXICO CITY, July 31.-Proof
of the responsibility of the clerical
forces for the assassination of Obre-
gon was seen here in the arrest of
Sister Conception Acevedo de la La
ia, catholic nun, on charges of hav-
ing induced Jose de Leon Toral, the
young slayer of the president elect,
to commit the murder.
In a formal statement issued by
the police it is declared that the plot
to assassinate Oregon was worked
out at the convent of which Sister
Conception was mother superior.
The nun refused to deny her part in
the crime and admitted having told
IToral that elimination of .Obregon
would solve the problems of the
catholic church in Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, July 81 Reiter-
ated denial by Jose de Leon Toral,
slayer Of Oregon, that anyone but
himself was responsible for the as
assination marked today's develop
ments. At the same time the police
in formal statement declared that
both Sister Conception Acevedo de
la Lata, nun now under arrest, and
Manuel Trejo, a member of the
Mexican Federation of Labor, were
Indirectly involved, in spite of the
fact that the statement contains al
most specific evidence that Obre-
CONS death was due to clerical
plot.
There is some reason to believe
that the police, under the pressure
Of reactionary forces, are seeking to
implicate some Weakened labor
leaders in the crime in order to pro-
vide the basis for an attack upon
the working class itself and the
trade unions.
\ The nun declared that she had no
Dart in influencing the young slayer,
although 1t was in the convent of
which she is mother superior that
the plot was Matched to kill Obre-
gon.
Police headquarters have offered
a reward of 1000 for the arrest of
Trejo, who is said to be in hiding.
Trejo is named as the man who gave
Toral the pistol. Whether this is
true or not has not been ascertained.
Toral himself swears that no labor
leader is involved and that Trejo
gave him the pistol with no knowl-
edge of the use to which it was to
be put.
The police statement further de-
clares that the nun has admitted that
she may have "told Toral that re-
ligious difficulties would end with
the death of Obregon, Gales and
others.
Notwithstanding this apparently
clear confirmation of the first re-
ports of clerical guilt, the police are
still hesitant about making formal
report on the killings, the reason
being, it is believed, that the pres
Vsure of reaction is weighing heavily
on the Gales government.
