 Next day after pitched my first
 win for St Joe, the scribes got
 after me again. Offhandedly, I
 told Ray Osborne I'd win and prob- ably strike out II men. Pueblo was the team.
 There was big crowd ou!
 that day. The Publeo team had heard about me and started out
 to do 8 lot of razzin'. They had a husky first baseman named | Shields who had rep as a scrap per. This Shields party kept
 fussin' and arguin' and sayin'
 things I didn't like. I stood it
 until the 8th because I'm an
 easy going chap and don't like
 to fight or argue. It makes, you too hot.
 The score was 2 to 2 in the 9th. Catcher Clark got on with
 a dragging bunt that went for a hit. That made me sore. I
 well on the ball trying to field it and looked like bush leaguer.
 I was sure peeved.
 I walked over to first and we argued. I asked him to step off the bag. Then Shields came
 dashing out and took it up. He | asked me why I didn't pick on
 a big guy and I said, "Okay,
 baby! You'll do."
 Then I let him have one on the jaw. It kayoed him and sent him
 to the hospital for seven days. Believe me, when that got around the circuit, the tough
 gys laid off me.
 The St Joe fans sure liked
 me. Me and the chief of police had a lot of fun. I had a car
 up there and sure got a kick out
 of speeding down the street at 60 miles or better. The chief
 would give chase until he saw who
 it was and then would turn dis creetly into a side street. On fan up there got out cards around election time, "Elect Dizzy Dean Mayor" And the funny thing about it was that he got lot of supporters. I had to tell
 him I couldn't make enough money
 at that before he quit campaign ing for me.
 And I wasn't lonesome for feminine company. either. St Joe had more pretty girls than any other town in the world for
 its size and they were all base ball fans. That's how the story about me spending so much
 money on rented cars started. You see it was this way. l got invited to places and since l didn't have car I had to enter
 tain m in style, didn't I? St Joe was in last place when I joined 'em. They never got out of the cellar but we packed
 'em in after l joined the ball club.
 To show you how I stood with the chief of police, let me tell
 you about a little incident The
 chief is getting tired of chasing
 me up and down the streets for
 speeding. One day he ran me into the curb.
 "Hey, you!' he yelled. "Who
 the hell do you think you are?' I'm Dizzy Dean, St Joe
 pitcher" I said, figuring that would cool him off.
 "I don't care if you're the
 whole damn St Joe club. You
 come with me-" he said. There was a crowd sldndlHs there and I thought the chief kinda winked at me. Anyhow he took me down to the station. When we got there, he took me back into his office and gave me a lecture and let me go, after
 demanding that strike out 15
 men as fine.
 I win 10 in a row and every
 win I went over bigger. l figured that little otwn of St Joe was

United Mine Workers OF America
proceeds to make strike breaking
agreements, on the other hand, is
all combined in one program.
The terror which started with
beatings, castings, evictions, injunc-
tons and now is increased by shoot
to kill" orders issued by conferences
of deputies.
On the same day that the Wild
wood shootings took place, the
United Mine Workers announced a
tentative agreement with the Pitts
burgh Terminal Coal Co. Today.
simultaneous with the shooting of
miners in Arnold City, Pa, the
United Mine Workers announces its
scale and orders men back to work
tomorrow The scale is not for As
cents a ton, as the capitalist papers
say, but for "tfe standard rate"
which may mean anything. Even
IS cents was the scale before the
strike, against which the strikers de-
mand SIS cents.
In this murderous attack of the
mine gunner against mine pickets
on wide front, Governor Pinchot
and the United Mine Workers are
working hand in hand.
In Arnold City this morning at
a. m. 100 pickets formed a line
and proceeded toward the regular
point of picketing, in an attempt to
stop some scabe who were being sent
from the closed Arnold Mine to the
struck Pricedale Mine. The pick
cts had not reached the picketing
point, but were near the store of
Mike Filipovich, a syrnpathizer and
active in relief. His basement was
used as a relief headquarters. The
deputies and coal and iron police
appeared, cursing without provoca-
ton of any kind The chief dep
uty ordered them to shoot, and every
cop emptied his pistol at the men
running from tear gas bombs which
were simultaneously released.
This was a deliberate attempt to
kill the strike and relief leaders. The
first to fall was Gallagher, secretary
of the National Miners Union Local;
the second to fall was James Davis,
president of the National Miners
Union Local; the third to fall was
Mike Filipovich, shot four times
through the chest at a ten-foot
range by the chief deputy Fi,ipo-
