BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, January 19.-Charges Of
murder and sedition were filed today
against 81 men and IS women colorums
or religious fanatics involved in an up
rising last week in Pangasinan Prov
ince in which several persons were
killed.
Col. Lucien Sweet. acting chief Of the
Philippine constabulary appointed three
officers to investigate the uprising. The
investigators were asked to determine
to what extent religious fanaticism,
Agrarian trouble, ignorance. independ-
ence agitation and offlcial abuses played
a part, If at all, in the uprising.
Tomas Confesor, director of the Bu-
reau of Commerce and Industry, upon
returning from an inspection trip in
Nueva Ecija Province, said hard times,
aggravated by failure of the rice crop,
had made that province q ripe field for
Communist agitation.
II spoke to Gov. Santos provincial
chief executive) about the matter" said
Confessor, land he said the situation
called for close watching"
Dispatches from Southern points said
a general strike of sugar dock workers
and possibly some sugar central work.
ers was imminent because of the re-
fllsal Of the centrals to meet demands
for increased wages. The centrals con-
tended they could not increase the pay

COUNCILS TASK SERIOUS.
Liberian Slavery Conditions Among
Items on Agenda.
BY Gable to The Star

BY Cable to The Star.
GENEVA, Switzerland, January 1o.-
The preacher-like voice of Arthur Hen
derson opened the sixty-second session
of the Council of the League of Nations
today
Items on the agenda include ap-
proval by the council Of the Financial
Committees already famous gold report
and recommendations to put into eff
feet the recent sensational inquiry ex-
posing slavery in Liberia.
At the same time the council meets,
the sessions will be continuing Of For
eign Minister Aristide Brands United
States of Europe Committee.
The German-Polish dispute to be con-
sidered is based on three official COM
munications of protest made by Ger
many to the League, together with q
long Polish reply issued Saturday.
The Germans claim mistreatment of
the minorities ranging from deliberate
rights to brigandage. assault and muir
der.
The Polish tactics in reply were
clearly foreShadowed by the important
speech Foreign Minister August Zaleski
just made over the radio to a country
wide American audience. Mr.. Zaleski
did not trouble himself to deny specific
German charges of maltreatment, but
said that the various incidents are petty
in themselves and have been unjIlsti-
flably magnified to an enormous extent
In order to make political capital.
The German protests, according TO
Mr.. zaleski, are simply an effort to
open up the question of treaty revision.
Poland. he said, will never under any
circumstances be budged one inch from
its possession of SileSia, the Corridor
and other minority provinces.
AS to disarmament, the Germans here,
too, are the aggressors, with Foreign
Minister Julius Curtius forced by both
domestic politics and traditional Ger
man policy to demand definite League
action. The Germans will be satisfied If,
as expected, 1t is set for February, 1912.
AS to the place, Geneva, Brussels,
Copenhagen. Vienna, Biarritz, Lausanne,
The Hague and Barcelona are all freely
mentioned. Geneva, however, has the
support Of the League secretariat.

CITY ENDANGERED
BY WILD OIL WELL
GuSher Breaks Loose Block
From Business Center of
Oklahoma City. .
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, January 19.-An
oil we'll blew wild inside the city limits
of Oklahoma City today, injuring a
workman seriously and imperiling the
doorstep" oil field. and adjacent in
dustrial and residential districts.
The well, No. /, Wapaco, of the T. B.
Slick estate, is about a mile from the
citys principal business block. Lower
connections were cut by sand and blown
out under great pressure as the well was
being opened for production. When it
was completed last october the flow was
$4,000 barrels daily.
Militia Called Out.
The companies of the Oklahoma Ma
tional Guard were ordered out. All city
firemen were ordered on duty.
The spray was being blown southeast
over the great oil field.
Authorities said much chemical equip
m.nt was on hand in the area in case
of a fire.
The injured man was A. Rush, clifton.
All fires in a radius of onehalf mile
around the well were ordered extin-
guiShed.
Wild well scares are not new to Okla
homa City. The last dangerous gusher
to blow wild was the No. Stout of
the Morgan Petroleum Co., which was
uncontrolled for three days. spraying the
city with oil and gas and placing a
large area under control of the National
Guard to prevent fires.
Expects Quick Relief.
Jim Hewgley. Slick superintendent
expressed the belief that the well will
be capped late today or early tomorrow,
barring accidents.
A die nipple, used in bringing other
wild wells here under control, already
has been made and is at the well site.
Because the wind was blowing to
the southeast, the exclusive residential
district north of the well, the state
capitol and the governors mansion
we're spared the oil bath provided when
the Stout we'll was wild in November.
OF! and gas formed pockets in low
places In the vicinity of the well.
Chemicals were sprayed by the fire
department to prevent spread of pos
sible fire.

Larger.
BY the Associated Press.

by Nns ASSOCIATED PreSS.
GENEVA, January 19-Facing the
important matters of fixing a date for
disarmament conference and arbitrat-
ing the German-Polish minorities' dtf-
ferences, the League of Nations Council
converting for it's sixty-second session
today turned first to the Irritating
problem of narcotic trafic.
Illicit trade in habit forming drugs
is continuing on an enormous scale.
Leonard Lyall, head of the Leagues
Central Opium Board. told the dele
gates, and thus far the efforts Of the
league to stop it have failed.
Narcotic seizures In the United
States and other countries no longer
are counted by the ounce, but by the
hundredweight," he said.
Under these circumstances it may be
necessary that you yourselves should
fulfill your obligations under that con-
vention."
His declaration made a marked i'm
preston and was interpreted as q warn
ing that certain members of the Coun-
Gil should clean house in the matter Of
illicit narcotic traffic.

Of 1000 workers at r. G. Macy's is
exposed as being the policy of Jesse

aCLlOn IOr q nationwide Qr1Ve TO col
lect strike relief to help the miners
win their fight.
The working class and its official
relief organization, the w. I. r., are
faced with a task unparalleled in the
history Of American strike struggles.
In two weeks time $1,000 miners
will strike In body. The strike will
not rely upon spreading from mine to
mine as in the previous mine strikes
In Kentucky, West Virginia, Eastern
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The terror
Is too great. The strike will be a
sudden, swift blow OF the miners
against the starvation and terror Of
the feudal coal barons. This inten-
sifies greatly the problem Of relief.
The miners can collect little or no
relief in and around the mine fields.
Eastern Kentucky has been eaten
here of food.
III the dead of winter, penniless
and with barren cupboards, the heroic
Kentucky miners will launch the
counter attack of the working class
against the hunger-terror campaign
of the bosses. Upon their success
depends a great victory Of the work
ing-class.
The Workers International Relief
has issued call to all workers to
help the miners win this victory.
