each, for each count, 10 prisoners
in the county Jail arrested during
the raids on radical headquarters in
FL Centre, Brawley and Calexico,
Monday night, appeared before
Judge Mayfield this morning. May
was set as the date for their pre-
liminary hearing, and they were re-
turned to Jail to await what action
might be taken by their attorneys.
The men were arraigned this
morning under title $50 of the Gen
eral Laws of California which re-
latcs to criminal syndicalism. This
term is defined as any doctrine or
precept advocating, teaching or aid,
ing and abetting the commission of

Gus physical damage or injury to

methods of terrorism as means o.
accomplishing change in indus
trial ownership or control, or eff
fecting any political change.
The four separate counts, as con
tanned in this act and under which
each prisoner is being held in $lo,'
900 bail, are as follows:
l. Anyone who by spoken or writ

vocatcs, teaches or aids and abets

4. Who organizes or assists IN or
ganizing, or is o, knowingly be
comes n member of any organiza
tion, society, group or assemblage

to advocate, teach or aid and abet

Officials of the district attorneys
office and the sheriff's office, while
they feel that they have the situa'
tion quite well in hand at present,
point to the fact that conditions are
still somewhat serious and that ac'
tive repressivc measures will have
10 be continued if the threatening
menace Of radicalism is to be stamp
ed out completely in Imperial coun
Braulio Orozco, 80, another sus.
pcct in connection with this red
movement, was brought to the
county Jail from Brawley this morn
ing and will be arraigned on
charges similar to those under which
his fellows are now held.
The local branch of the j. ii.
Boiling Detective Agency, under the
management of Walter Siblcy, sup
piled the district attorney with the
information which led 10 the break
ing up of this radical ring before
the scheduled meeting Of next Sun
day.
Most of those who appeared be
fore Judge Mayfield maintained a
stolid silence and would say abso'
lutely nothing which might in any
way assist the officers in their
prosecution. 1t is even surmised
that some Of the names given are
fictitious as several Of the prison
crs refused to answer when names
were asked.
