CROSS EXAMINED
De la Rosa was then cross x
amined with Delmar Stancll and
during the cross examination IL
was brought out that the officers

occurred earlier in the afternoon

testimony alleged de Ia Rosa had
tried to strike the man over the
head with his gun earlier in the
afternoon.
Miss Manon Holloway Of Weslaco
verified her testimony In which
she declared that officer de Ia
Rosa struck Ham over the head
with his gun. the blow glancing
over one shoulder when the fatal
shot vas fired.
De la Rosa denied this, and when
both witnesses stuck 10 their re-
Spective testimonies, Judge Rojas
declared that no further question
ing would be made at the time.
In a procedure that was a new
experience for persons not used TO
the laws and customs OF Mexico.
the witnesses during cross eXam-
ination were confronted with each
others testimony and given per-
mission by the presiding judge 10
question each other regarding their
respective statements.
Miss Holloway vas then cross
examined with OlivareS the night

the first version she had given OF
the affair.
N. G. Culpepper, also OF Weslaco

enSe during the hearing and cross
examination Thursday afternoon.
Culpepper gave his version OF the
affair in which he verified his first
statement that de la Rosa struck
Ham over the head with his gun
the blow glancing, landing ON a
shoulder and the gun being dis
charged while in the hands OF de
Ia Rosa. This tailed with the ac-
counts OF the scuifle given by Miss
Holloway.

MINNEAPOLIS, Min, Jan. IA
Things are happening out here in this
agricultural state that have never be-
fore been witnessed by citizens of
Minnesota.
While walking through the down
town district the other day I saw two
boys about twelve years OF age ram
sacking a garbage can at the rear of a
luxurious cafe. When they left the
can each had a pasteboard box filled
with old buns, pie crusts and well
gnawed pork chop bones. One boy
atarted eating from one of the bones
as they came out of the alley. Both
of them were fairly well dressed. This
1,lows where the middle" class is
going. Again, I saw poor Negro wo-
men pick a piece of bread crust from
the dirty. slushy sidewalk, in front of
the main post Office building, and eat
i voraciously. She nearly had her
hand stepped on while she was get
ting the crust.

Most Priests Are On Payroll
Most of the priests in the city are
on Hague's payroll in one capacity or
another and there are many who are
drawing city money who are on no
public payroll. So far as the payroll
is concerned Hague plays no religi
ous favorites, for most of the we'll
known ministers and rabbis are also
On the payroll. One rabbi who was
deposed from a state job by the iegis-
latre last year was Immediately re-
appointed upon Hague's demand be-
cause the rabbi was in the employ Of
three synagogues and therefore could
be three times as profuse in his
praise of Hague as the less ambitious
rabbis.
It is the priests, however. who are
Hagues and Brandle's strong support
ers. During election campaigns, the
Catholic pulpits of the city resound
with praise Of Hague and with or
ders, not requests, that every good
Catholic do his utmost to elect the
man who has committed more crimes
than the combined population of a
dozen jails. Father Mckinley, along
with a few other of the more influen-
tial district leaders, speaks thus about
Hague all year dound, but perhaps
Father Mckinley has reasons for do
.ng SO since Hague regards his adj
vice very, very highly. In every one
of the many converts in North Jer-
girls are ordered by their Mother Su-
periors to pray for the election Of
Hague.
During the past five years, Jersey
City has become one Of the leading
gambling and drug-selling centers in
the East. Hague Ievies tribute on the
drug peddlers and owns some Of the
gambling houses. His income from
race horse bookies alone is $4,000 q
week. Hague contributes hundreds

knows where Hague gets the money
hat he contributes to it and doesn't
refuse it: on the contrary, it sane
lions HaGue's activities because it
mobilizes its forces to elect him again
and again. Consequently it is not
playing with words to- say that the
Catholic church in north Jersey en-
courages drug -peddling and gambling.
Here is further proof.
About year ago prosperous horse
bookie was raided by the Jersey City
police. The bookie was amazed be-
cause he had paid his protection
money to the very police official who
led the raid. He protested to Hague
but Hague passed the buck and told
him to see Malone. his assistant.
Malone likewise refused/to vouchsafe
any reason for the raid. The bookie
now furious, went to the priest who
was leader Of the district in Jersey
City. called Lafayette, where the
bookie ran his office. The priest lis
tened TO his story and told him to
come back the next day. When he
returned, the priest srnilingly assured
him that everything was all right; he
had spoken to Hague and the mis-
understanding had been cleared up.
Hague had been promised more money
for the bookie's concession by a COM
petitor, but the priest had convinced
Hague that the competitor didn't go
to church as regularly as the first
bcokie and therefore want entitled
to so profitable business.
The Catholic Church is never
averse to engaging in little under
hand deal with Hague. One Lock-
wood, Protestant, willed $4,000
plot to st. Michael's church ON con
dition that an orphans home be
built on the property. Lockwood's
will also supplied the money for the
building. Monsignor Shepherd, the
Tiny Pope sold the plot 10 the

Monsignor divided the S185,O00 and
the city to this day has never been

LOGGING CAMPS
ARE MISERABLE
Conditions Are Worst
in Long Time

Editor
Dear Cornrade:
My recent tour Of the short log
country reveals conditions at their
worst, the camps are mostly built for
summer logging but they log up till
the first of the year which makes 1t
most miserable for the lumber jacks.
The camp cook-houses are contracted
and fifty cents a meal is the price
for transient, if you are broke you
are out of luck unless some friend
is in the camp and gets you a meal
ticket.
Small Fry Gyps.
Most of the camps are gyppo or
small contractors that take a strip of
timber at SO much per thousand feet.
then they are contracting for days
pay and even roll their own landings
in the flume which takes the place
Of day hook-men. And the Speed-up
Of the loggers you would think there
were shortage of men in the coun-
try. In the Preist River camps hunks
are short on bedding and the camps
are tents and in bad weat' cr they
are cold and miserable.
In most of the camps the transient
lumber jacks sleep in the wash house
without bedding unless some friend
gives them blanket so you see lun-
Der workers, what we have to submit
to by not being organized and will
continue to be this way and worse
until we start fighting the boss for
better conditions and to do this the
National Lumber Workers Union is
the only solution.
AS we all know the lumber indus
try is on the decrease and there is
no demand for forest products, but
this is no reason of the lumber
Jacks, so we lumber workers must Or
ganize and fight the lumber baron
against the speed-up system and low
wage scale. Also the lumber barons
are trying to ipcite and antagonize
the workers against each other and
we must realize this fact and organ
ize all the foreign born workers into
our unions and fight the capitalist
class together; this way we will gain
our object and get better conditions
and increase in pay. So, fellow
workers, organize and fight; don't
starve. N. l.. w. I. L.
