BULLETIN.

WEST FRANKFORT, ILL.,, Jan.
s.-Organizers sent by the Ma
tional Miners Union to Stanton
territory report that the miners
are ready to strike. So do the
Saline county miners. Meetings
held in TaylOryille section are
enthusiastic for struggle.
The meeting place of the N. M.
U. in Livingston, not far from
Staunton, where a large UNIV.
local came over to the N.M.U. be-
fore the strike, has been bombed.
Details are lacking. There is a
desperate need for relief for the
striking miners, and those locked
out for belonging to the N.M.U.
in districts not yet struck.
Henry Corbishley, secretary
treasurer of the Illinois district
of the N.M.U. has not returned
from Chester, where he was taken
to appear before the parole board.
He was sentenced to one to four
teen years after being framed up
in the Zeigler case and the state
will try to make his participation
in the present strike an excuse
for revoking parole. The board
meets on the 18th.
TAMAQUA, Pa, Jan. 8.-The
state police, bosses of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Co., and city
police together broke up meeting
of the striking miners in Colliery
ID here Monday, and later forced
some of the miners by threats and
back to work. The
UNIV. advised calling the police.
The strike started Saturday, fol-
lowing decision to that effect at a
meeting addressed by National
Miners Union speakers. The men
walked out of the wash house Sat-
urday morning because the company
had discharged Six N.M.U. members,
at the request of the United Mine
Workers of America officials.
Monday morning two carloads of
state police and a few carloads of
police from Tamaqua, Pottsville and
Lansford came down on the big
picket line. All the company Off
cials from the superintendent down
accompanied them in the raid on the
meeting held in the wash house.
Monday was button day in the
Panther Creek Valley coal fields,
and there was sharp resistance from
the miners to the UNIV. demand
that they buy buttons. The takers
and the bosses drove large groups
from the pits when they refused
to pay tribute to the UNIV.
Alex Moran, formerly sub-district
treasurer of the UNIV. with some
Of his followers from Colliery IL
spoke Saturday to a miners meet
ing in Tamaqua and urged the men
to go back to the UNIV, and to go
back towork, Eat a dollar head"
This Moran has been pretending to
be a progressive, and was put out of
office by the UNIV. because of a
gesture against the employers.

SEARCH INTENSIFIED
FOR RELEASED MAN
Police Hunt Miley, Wanted fol
Auto Thefts and Hold Ups in
Other Cities.

The police search for Charles Miley,
80. of 933 Ninth street, who was re-
leased by police of No. precinct Fri
day afternoon because they "had
nothing on him." was intensified last
night, when it was learned he is wanted
in other cities for two hold-ups and
thefts of two machines.
A comparison of Miley's finger prints
with those on file at the Department of
Justice disclosed that he is wanted in
Luray, Va, and Pittsburgh for auto
mobile thefts and in Cleveland and Buff
falo for hold-ups.
Miley,s release Friday preceded by a
few minutes the arrival of Sheriff
Lukes of Luray, Va, who came armed
with papers to return Miley to Luray
for investigation into an automobile ac-
cident there recently. Miley was riding
in a car said to have been stolen from
Pittsburgh, according to Lukes.
Miley was taken into custody Thurs
day night, upon calling at the Ninth
and C streets bus terminal, and re-
leased Friday when police were unable
to learn why he was being held. II
later developed that q bus driver mott
fed local police that Miley was wanted
in Luray, and the record showing cause
for his arrest apparently was mislaid.

JAPAN IS PLEASED
BY JOHNSON PROMISE
Proposed Removal Of Exclusion
Act Brings Hanihara Keen
Pleasure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, May 24.-Profound satisfac-
ton was felt in Toxic today over the
announcement in Washington yesterday
by Chairman Albert johnson of the
House immigration committee that he
expected to propose an amendment to
the immigration act that would give
Japan proportionate quota Of immi-
grants to the United States.
Deep qualification and hope for an
early removal of the thorny immigra-
ton question was sensed easily in Off
cial quarters. 1t had been feared that
the American reaction might be hostile
to former Ambassador Hanihara's out
spoken dramatic speech yesterday, ex-
pressing resentment because Of the
United States exclusion of Japanese.
Hanihara expressed keen pleasure at
the prospect that the legislation which
ended his diplomatic career might soon
be amended. His letter. written in 1924,
stating that grave consequence" might
follow the enactment of the immigra-
ton law which barred entry of Japanese
to the United States, caused Hanihara's
retirement from his post as Japanese
Ambassador at Washington.

Young Theodore Roosevelt, pacK IroH
Porto Rico, where he now is greatly en-
joying being governor of the island, tells
a charming story about the mixtures
of emotions among our Porto Rican
fellow citizens. Roosevelt went to watch
a great procession which was marching
In honor of something, and observed
with the utmost intense interest three
prominent objects which the procession
carried at its forefront. One was a
picture of himself. One was an Ameri-
can flag. The third was red flag of
the worldwide emancipation of the
proletariat. All three objects seemed
to be regarded with loyal devotion.
Stain Uses u. S. for Echo"
The House of Representatives has de-
cided to investigate the red flag and all
Communism in the United States. and
will doubtless proceed to give more pub
licity to the teachings of Communism
in short time than all the 10 or IL
thousand members of the American
Communist party could give to them
in all the rest of their lives. The true
final point, however, about the Amer
lean Communist party will never be
caught by the inquiring statesmen. 1t
was detailed the other day to this writer
by a visiting Russian, who for some
20 years has divided his time between
Russia and the United States. He is
a non-political character with a sense
of humor and of realism He had just
returned from a trip to Russia when
this writer asked him: docs that big
boss in Russia, Mr.. Stain, derive any
political profit from the inlnitesimal
Communist party in the United States?''
He does indeed" replied the patri-
otto Russian. Whenever he wants to
adopt any given policy in Russia, he
gives orders accordingly through the
Third Internationale to all the little
local Communist parties throughout the
world. They then pass resolutions. in
earnest favor of the policy in question
Then Mr.. Stain can stand up in Mos
COW and say:
Hear the voice of the proletariat
of Uruguay Hear the voice of the
proletariat of Java! Hear the voice OF
the proletariat of the United Statesp
1T sounds big in Moscow. Stains
auditors there don't know that the
Communist party in the United States
represents few thousands. They think
it represents millions. 1t Is not the
Communist party in the United states
that Stain cares about. 1t is the echo
from 1t back into Russia"
