Days when Nelson gulch was the
scene of vast placer mining opera
tons In 1871, and life on p home
stead, In the wild Dearborn country,
In the early 9@s we're reviewed by
Mrs. #. Z. Blackstone, daughter Of
Hezekiah Hardgr0ve, Montana piO-
neer. With his son, James, HardgrOve
came 10 Helena, Sept. Is, 1864. James
went back later TO stay with the fam
lily until his father could bring them
TO their new home.
1t was in 1871 when Mr. and Mrs
Hardgrove, their son James and their
three daughters took what was then
known as an emigrant train TO Corrine,
Utah. From there they staged to Hell
ena, making the trip In four days and
four nights. There were II passengers,
Mr.. Blackstone recalls.
Mamie Hardgrove (Ars. BLACKSTONE
was the youngest child Her sister,
Amanda, later became the wife Of Mr..
Mike Geary, prominent Montana pio-
neer and miner; and another sister,
Frances, married John Short, who was
then mining in Nelson gulch. Several
years after his death Mrs. Short mar
ried Herman Lydolph.
Owned Mine Claims
Mrs Blackstone's father owned sew
eral mining claims in Nelson gulch,
and their cabin was at the mouth OF
Christmas gulch. Hardgrove sold one
Of these claims TO his Son-in-law, Mike
Geary. It was on this claim that a
nugget valued at more than 81 ,450,
was found by Geary.
II remember the day he took the mug

her eyes and hold out her hand. She
did So Then he dropped the heavy
nugget into her palm. It was egg-shaped
and as smooth as If It had been poll
ished by a jeweler.
"Of course my sister was, made happy
by the lucky strike. and the value Of
the nugget added materially to the
cleanup.

ton ever more aggressive and ruth
less. The Austrian working class,
the large majority Of which was or
gani5ed in the Social-Democratic or
CARNATIONS, had the power in its
hands. But Social-Democracy used
its organization and its influence to
chain the working class while the
reaction undertook one economic and
political offensive after the other
against the working class, They
feverishly built up the fascist organ
izations, the Heimwehr and the Hit
lerites.
When Hitler seized power in Ger
many on the basis Of the same policy
Of the Social-Democrati leaders OF
Germany as that Of the Social-Dem-
ocratic leaders OF Austria, sharp
struggle developed between the two
fascist groups, the Dollfuss and
Heimwehr people on one side, the
Hitlerites on the other side. These
two groups, one financed by Italy,
the other by the German Hitlerites,
fought each other bitterly on the
question Of which group should be
the monopoly party Of the Austrian
bourgeoiSie and Of suppressing the
working class, but they were united
in their hatred against the prole-
tariat, in their plan to establish the
absolute fascist dictatorship in Au-
stria on the style Of Mussolini and
Hitler.
After the seizure Of power by HIT

They organized for a united front
Of the workers, whereupon the Doll
fuss fascists prohibited the Commu-
mist Party, drove it into illegality and
arrested part of its leadership. Az
strian Social-Democracy did not
bulge an inch, although the attack
against the Communist Party was the
beginning Of the general attack
against the working class.
They declared that no struggle was
to be conducted, that Dollfuss was
the lesser evil" compared TO Hitler,
and their vrhole policy was one of
supporting the lesser eviT' Dollfuss,
who is right now numbering thou

bombarding houses with cannons and
numbering thousands of women and

this treacherous policy with a new
blow The Socialist Schutzbund, in
which many honest workers who
were sincerely ready TO struggle are
organized, was dissolved and driven
into illegalty,
The Social-Democratic leaders took
no action, whatsoever, told the work
ers to keep quiet and continued tc

among the masses of Social Demo-

NEW YORK. - Dispatches n-os;
Spain report that Socialists and Com

joint appeal yesterday to all workers
In Spain to form a United Front
struggle against the bloody attacks OF
the reactionary Lerrom government,
which is seeking to drown In blood
the rising revolutionary struggles Of
the funger-torttued masses.
II is probable that the joint appeal
was signed by the provincial commit.
tee Of the Avila Socialists. The action
Of the Avila Socialists sienalises the
growing successes Of the Communist
Party In winning rank and Ale So
cialists and many Of the lower Social

tons of the higher bodies OF the So
list party.
The reeett1nary government &C
ordered police raids on Commu-
7ist and Socialist headquarters in the
province under pretext OF search
for arms.
The Joint appeal called for G gen.
eral strike to begin tomorrow. A
general strike was also declared at
Palencia in protest against growing
unemployment and the cutting OF re-
lief, and in sympathy with strikers

Gilbert Scores n. r. A.
Joseph Gilbert, speaking in the
afternoon session, told Administrator
Allen that you cannot separate the
question OF minimum wages from
that of maximum hours: they are too
closely interlocked." He cited the
fact that under the N. r. A. the
minimum wage, wherever agreed to
by the employers, has invariably be-
sNf,a1 tho 5rsy,ay1sz7 xx~c1o
OF the $1,000 licensed hackmen in
New York City. Gilbert declared, the
records show that only from 10000
to $4,000 are employed. He referred
TO the UNEMPLOYMENT insurance
clause in the code as the prooer
measure for dealing with unemploy-
ment in the industry.
Irving Krauss, another member Of
the central committee of the Taxi
Drivers Union, exnased the fact that
the PalTne'ee and Terminal taxi svs-
TENS. the two largest taxi companies
in New York City. worked most OF
their cabs in one shift day. The
Terminal Company. he revealed. uses
many devices, such as small allow
ances for gas, exorbitant fines for
damage and loss of tools. etc, to fur
ther reduce the miserable income OF
the drivers.
Taxi Owners Have Spy System
Every cab driver who spoke at the
hearing testified to the existence Of

by the big taxi companies and the
fleet owners. These spies are given
the euphonious names of inspectors"
and supervisors" etc.
