STRIKE HEADQUARTERS, GIL
LESPIE, ILL.,, Sept 1.-The rebellion
of union coal miners of Illinois
against the S. basic wage scale, and
against their state and international
officers, is growing fast.
Thirty-f1ye thousand of the 10000
miners have pledged themselves TO
fight until hell freezes over" to &C
complish this program
l. Defeat of wage reduction
2. Recall of John H. Walker,
state president, and John L. Lewis,
international president, of the
United Mine Workers of America.
3. To enter Franklin county by
force, if necessary, and picket the
mines in this, the richest of the coal
counties, where, according to the
strike leaders, union miners are be-
ing forced to labor against their
wishes by the gunner and thugs
employed by the coal companies.
Led Into Ambush
1t was in Franklin county that the
vanguard of the caravan of more
than $4,000 miners and their wives
and daughters were turned back
Aug. "a, after being led into what
their leaders termed an ambush.
Eight members of the caravan
were shot, more than 100 were
dubbed and sixty automobiles and
trucks weer abandoned after being
raked by gun fire. The miners, I'M
armed, had gone to protest condi-
tons in Franklin county.
There will be no truce, no COM
promise, according to James Cross,
one of the leaders, in statement
made to this writer at headquarters
here, and the outlook is dark.
Secret plans for a second invasion
of Franklin county have been ten
tatively agreed upon, but must be
approved at the secret session which
will begin here this afternoon.
1t will be an entirely different in
vasion than the one which ended
in the rout at Little Muddy River"
There will be no bands, no banners,
no widely advertised march"
Men have been selected and or
gained into units-swift moving
units that will operate from bases
in friendly territory around Frank
lin county.
The plans call for these men to
strike. suddenly, silently, like the
old Ku-KluX of southern Illinois,
an organization to which many of
the miners yet belong. These men
will go armed! Some say it may
approach guerilla warfare.
The first blow was struck several
days ago when unidentified men in
a fast-rnoving automobile wounded
Frank Moulin, a non-strike leader
at Zeigler, who. it was reported,
participated in the ambush on THE
Little Muddy" Moulin was wound
ed seriously by shotgun fire.
Indiana Miners to Join
Leaders in the Indiana and Iowa
coal fields, where labor difficulties
are being experienced, pledged to
cooperate with the Illinois lead
ers, are sending delegates to the
meeting here today.
Overtures have been made to the
miners in the Kentucky fields, in an
effort to completely paralyze the
coal industry in the middle west.
Delegates from every local union
in Illinois will attend the secret
session, at which all plans and pol
icies will be formulated
Everywhere throughout the ILL
nois coal regions there is talk of
battle. Things are being said at
mass meetings, being held daily in
every coal community.
There is talk of firearms and re-

U. s. EMPLOYEES
TONGUE-T|EDB BY
FEDERAL RULE
Gary Clerk Is Discharged
Because He Expressed
Views on Bonus.
LEGION WRATH STIRRED
Million Ordered to Avoid
Voicing Views in
Controversies.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. Almost
1000,000 government employees and
their families are barred from ex-
pressing their views on such sub
jects as the bonus and prohibition,
under an Interpretation of civil
service regulations agreed upon by
departmental officials and the civil
service commission for the presi-
dental campaign.
Even though these two questions
and many others are not at issue
between the major parties, and are
not linked with political activities
and candidates, departmental heads
have included them in the list of
things which can not be discussed
publicly under penalty of dismissal.
The ban also applies to wives and
families Of federal workers under
civil service jurisdiction.
Gary Clerk Fired
The situation came to a head re-
Gently when Ben H. Kerr, a post
office clerk at Gary, Ind, was dis
charged, partly because he helped to
frame a demand for the bonus while
serving as chairman of the
resolutions committee of a local
American Legion post.
Postoffice officials say he actually
was discharged because he was "un-
fit,' but the second charge in the
indictment read as follows:
1T also is charged that you in
troduced a bonus resolution at a
meeting of the American Legion,
Crown Point, Ind March 6, 1882,
contrary to the expressed wishes of
the President, who considers such
legislation harmful to the country at
this time"
Arch Coleman, first assistant post
master general, who handled the
Kerr case, justified his action on the
basis of civil service regulations
rather than postal laws, for the
latter carefully restrict punishment
to political activity.
Legion Voices Criticism
Thomas E. Campbell, chairman of
the civil service commission, was
even more emphatic than Coleman
He said that employees can not dis
cuss any controversial matter, in
Guiding such minor questions as
bonding of local roads.
The postoff1ce action against Kerr
Immediately drew criticism from
Colonel John Thomas Taylor, Wash
ington representative of the Ameri-
can Legion, who declared it branded
the legion as political organiZa-
ton"
The bonus question" said Pay
lor, lis not a political one. Kerr
had a perfect right, as an Ameri-
can citizen, to serve as resolutions
chairman, and to present the reSo-
luton.
Republicans and Democrats have
voted for it in congress. Twenty
million people, without regard to
political Affiliations. have differing
views on this problem. This looks
to me like the abridgement of
citizens right Of free thought and
speech"
Postal Workers Punished
Campbell and Coleman, however,
emphasized that government
employee could think and discuss
whatever he pleased in the circle
of his family or friends, but not in
public.
Campbell said he had been forced
to discipline a newspaper published
by postal employees because they
urged readers not to forget their
friends on the much-debated fur
Tough question at the elections.

Desperate Battles Seen on
Payment to Veterans and
Eviction Riots.

BIZ ScripDs-Hocdrd NcUspGDeF Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The
American Legion convention at
Portland, Ore, two weeks hence,
will be political boiling pot.
Desperate convention battles are
foreSeen on two isSues-prohibition
and eviction of the bonus eXpedi-
tionary force.
There no longer is any doubt as
to the outcome of the bonus ques-
tion-three-fourths of the delegates
already are pledged to support cash
payment.
At the Detroit convention last
year, the delegates voted 1008 to 1894
for resuhmisSion of the eighteenth
amendment. This year the prohibi-
ton battle will be moved forward to
a new front and the fight will be
over whether the convention should
indorse resubmission or outright re-
peal, plus modification Of the VOL
stead act.
Politics to Be Played
Republican leaders will try to hold
the convention to a resolution ask
ing for resubmiSsion with federal
prohibition against return of the
saloon, along the lines of the Re-
publican party plank. Democratic
leaders will fight for straight repeal
and modification, as in the platform
of the Democrats.
The bonus army eviction issue
likewise will have political turn.
Republican legionnaires are certain
to interpret an attempt to con-
denim the eviction as an effort to
prejudice the voters against the
candidacy of President Hoover.
Legion CriticiseS Violence
Six state legion conventions this
year-IllinoiS, Massachusetts,, New
Mexico, Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA and
TexaS-adopted resolutions CRITICS.
ing use of federal troops. tanks
bayonets, Sabers. and torches in
driving the bonus seekers from the
capital city.
Secretary of War Patrick j.
Hurley scheduled to attend the
Portland convention, will be re-
garded as Hoovers spokeSman-if he
attends, which now seems doubtful
despite the White House an
nouncement of a few days ago in
which the President washed his
hands of responsibility for what any
administration leader might say at
legion gathering.

Bonus Vote Defended by
Watson in Peru Speech
Senator, Making Reply to
HeCkIerS, Says He Acted
to Save Nation

By Times Special
PERU, Sept. Senator James
E. Watson was placed on the de-
fensive at Fifth district Republic
an rally here Wednesday because
of his bonus vote, when a group of
men constructing a walk along a
hillside stopped to shout, You
voted against the bonus"
In response to the interruptions
from the workmen, and also in an
swer to the stand in favor of i'm
mediate payment of the bonus
taken by his Democratic opponent,
Frederick Van NuyS, Watson said:
THE bonus is not an issue in this
election and it is not an issue be-
tween the parties. I stand squarely
on my record in bonus and pension
matters.
Il voted for payment of the first
half of the bonus, for there had
been sufficient money placed in the
treasury to pay most of the first
half. 1t generally was understood
that the soldiers would make no
further demands until the bonus
became due in 1945," Watson said
However, the bonus army came
to Washington and demanded pay
ment of the second half, which
would have meant, in plain words
that the United States would have
been forced off the gold standard
with its money values wrecked and
industry paralyzed.
For that reason, voted against
payment of the second half of the
bonus 1 did it to save our nation
from bankruptcy and ruin.
