Attorney General Philip Lutz Jr..
when informed of the findings of

Dillinger escape, declared that he
couldn't imagine what state
officials they could have criticised"
Upon the request of Governor
Paul V. McNutt, Mr.. Lutz sent a
deputy attorney general, Edward
BARGE, to Lake county to conduct
the grand jury probe.
Mr.. Lutz himself went there last
week.
Hints Politics Involved
He also declared that he agreed
that there was no evidence uncov-
cred Of graft or corruption in the
sense of taking money" but init
mated that the Dillinger escape may
have been mixed into the badly
muddled Lake county politics.
While the jury was returning its
verdict, Robert G. Estell. East Chi
cago, was filing his candidacy for re-
nomination on the Democratic
ticket as Lake county prosecutor.
Having previously announced his
intention to stand for reelection.

Cautiously they crept out from be-
hind the bushes and slowly ad-
vanced toward the train. Petka was
ST ting on the coal, horror-stricken
at what he saw. In just a few
minutes the Whites will board the
train. They will blow up the ANU
milton, tear up the tracks, and kill
his father. The workers ahead will
be caught in trap, without food or
cartridges.
Carefully he crept over the coal,
and slid into the cab. His father
looked up at him from the floor but
did not seem surprised to see the
boy. With a weak gesture of his
hand he pointed to a lever, but
Petka needed no instruction. He
pulled the lever, and with a hiss of
s cam, the train started back. The
White soldiers were so surprised
they stood stock still. The train
picked up speed and disappeared.
There was a great excitement in
town when Petka jumped off the
locomotive, and related what had
happened. Petka's father was re-
moved at once to the hospital. I'M
medistely a group OF armed workers,
boarded the same train and went
ahead to the front. The Whites
knew better than to hang around
waiting for them, and scattered in
all directions. Contact was estab-
lished with the first group of work
ers who had gone out earlier, and
the Whites received q good beating.
AS for Petka, he was the idol of
the town. And I'm sure his father
did not mind his presence in the
round house any more.

HELPER, Utah.-The officials of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea have proven that they are not
for the workers, much to the sur
prise Of some workers. The officials
have shown that they will not sup
port them in strike nor help in any
way for the benefit Of the workers.
The union dues are high. For
instance, in one mine where miners
work only seven days in two
months they must pay $3.50 fer
dues. The rest, which is very little,
goes for rent and other expenses,
leaving them nothing.

Young Miners
Being Elected

BY Mine Worker Correspondent
YUKON. Pa.-The month Of June
brings forth into the fields the
election of officers, pit committees
and checkweighmen in the locals OF
the U.MW.A. The locals are still
in the hands of Lewis and his
henchmen. but many have now
cleaned their slate, elscting an en-
tire new set of officers, etc.
In the Hutchinson local. formerly
under control of clique, they
elected a new pit committee and
officers. Only two former officers
were reelected, both of whom are
militant fighters.
Another new development is the
fact that youth are being elected
as officers Of the locals. Yukon,
Hutchinson, Biddle and Export To-
Gals all have elected several youth
as officers, all of whom pledged
themselves to get rid of the Lewis
henchmen.
We workers must teach the youth
about Lewis and the whole corrupt
labor haters, to overthrow the
Lefis machine and set up con-
troll by rank and file.

elected to go to the State board of
control in S.. Paul. They presented
the petition to the State board OF
control, who claimed to be surprised
that the workers in Crosby as well
as in other towns were forced to
worked for relief without cash. Now
hardly anyone is working for relief
orders in Grow Wing County, unless
they are working for cash,
The next point we found out un-
der the Farmer Labor administra-
ton YVES that the State he'd set
a budget for families getting relief,
When we asked our relief investi-
gator of Grow Wing County how
much was each persons budget per
month, she said the budget for a
family of eight for one month was
for the man, $4.65; wife, $3.50;
children over IA years, $3.50; chill
dren over I, $3.50; children 1 to 6
the ones who really need the most,
get S1.55. And the clothing for the
whole family of eight was not to
be more than $3.50 per month.
The yellow dogs and parasites
who work in the relief Offices dig
eliminating against the working
class get as high as SITS per month
and free car expenses.
I wonder how that parasite from
st. Paul can feed a child with $1.55
when one quart of milk per day
at 8 cents per quart totals to $21O
per month.
I have been a miner for 20 years
and with my partner produced 5000
of wealth per day, but received 81

tender. The tender is the little
car that is directly behind the loco
motive. 1t carries the coal.
Pretty soon the cars were coupled
together and they left the station.
Everything went we'll for while.
The driver could not see Petka be-
cause of the coal that was piled up
between them and the boy had a
great time. Suddenly his father
brought the train to an abrupt halt.
Something is in our way" he
said to the stoker.
They ran the train a little closer
and discovered a pile of railroad
ties dumped on the track.
This doesn't look so good to me"
Petka's father remarked, But we
must try to get through Call the
rest of the crew and try to pull the

sent the Rational Guard to fight

allow the company thugs to carry

The company thugs want to

How Petka Saved the Train


THIS is what happened near a
4 small town in Russia about Is
years ago. Civil war was raging over
Russia. Bosses and mobiles spared
no effort to crush the workers
revolution.
One day towards autumn the
news came that the Whites chose
who wanted the cars government
came towards the town where
Petka and his father lived. Petka
was 10 years old then. His father
was a locomotive engineer. Petka
made up his mind to be one, too,
when he grew up.
Ever since he could walk Petka
spent mos of his time in or around
the round house, watching the loco
motives and the men who cleaned
and repaired them. Sometimes his
father would take him in his en-
gineer's cabin for a short ride. Ir
this way Petka learned a great
deal about how locomotive is run

ers Of the town armed themselve;
and went out to meet the enemy
About a day after they we're gone
short train consisting of couple
of cars was to follow the workers
detachment, in order to supply them
with food and ammunition, and to
pick up the wounded. Petka's
father was to run this train.
AS soon as Petka learned about it
he decided to go also. There was nc
use begging his father 10 take him
along; that was out of the ques-
ton. Petka knew his fathers en-
CINE well. An hour before the start
he sneaked into the round house
