Instead of the tough broncho the present posse
travels in high-pOwered automobiles and alrpIanes.
Where the od-time hunt would cover forty or fifty
miles at the very most day, this present reels
off hundreds Of miles. In addition to the sX-shooter

At the beginning of the sixth act,
a display of ordinary horsemanship
by the state police, the thousands of
leaflets were thrown from the b-l

every one in the Garden. AS soon
as the authorities discovered the ma

plain clothes men made every effort
to find those who participated. They
succeeded in finding four of the
many who had participated.
The workers arrested, Morris
Golding, Robert Albert, Benjamin

taken to a room in the Garden by
special police and military officials.
There, they were badly beaten up.
Mellman was strapped and beaten

HOLD C0NFAB
Move to Form District
of New Union
BY WILLIAM F. KRUsE

BELLEVILLE, ILL.,, Oct. Is (By
MaiD More than thirty delegates,
representing almost every sub-dis-
trict of Illinois, attended an enthusi-
astic conference at Dietz Hall as
first step in forming the local Sec
ton of the new National Miners
Union.
Practically every part of the state
sent delegates, Taylorville, Stan
ton, Belleville, Collinsville, DeQuoin,
West Frankfort and Harrisburg dis
tricts being particularly well repre-
sented. The keynote of the confer
ence, to which everyone responded
enthusiastically, was the need of
building the new union of the coal
diggers. Every speaker agreed that
the time was more than ripe for the
practical organization steps, the
formation of locals and their unfit
cation into a strong district.
AS soon as is thought practical,
the temporary executive board,
which contains such outstanding
militants as Dan Singer, Luke Cof-
fey, Freeman Thompson and George
Voyzey, will convene a district con-
vention for the formation of the
local district.

The city authorities of Wilmington
had forbidden the holding of the

and have closed Pythian Castle, 90S
West St., the hall in which the meet
ing was to be held.
The reason for the ban on the

munist) Party has distributed leaf
let's entitled abolish Lynching."
The chief of police states that any
one found distributing these leaflets
will be arrested and that if speakers
mention this topic in a meeting, they
also will be arrested.
1t is at least a month since the
hall was engaged by the Wilmington
section of the Communist Party, and
notice that the hall would be closed
was given only yesterday.
