cause they distributed leaflets for the
Pioneers.

police protection, to smash the meet

was done, and seven in the meeting
were arrested in addition. Six stu

A bill is before the state legislature
which practically continues the Coal
and Iron Police, in a disguised form.
The brutality of these company gun
men, paid by the companies, but
armed and uniformed and given stars
by the state and known as "Coal and
Iron Police" has become so motor
ious recently that Pinchot has had to
make some appearance of carrying
out his campaign promises to abolish
the force.
Pennsylvania workers want it really
abolished, not camoufaged, and want
all the money devoted to support of
uniformed assassins to be used to feed
the jobless.
