arrested and charged with noting on
the picket line and held on $500 bail
each. More warrants are held by the
police.
Tear gas bombs are playing an
important role with the state pa
troll who infest the Roslyn terri
tory. A woman with her day old
baby lay in a house near Camp Z.
The police knew this but they
threw a tear gas bomb into the yard
to dispense the pickets stationed i'm

suffocated but the police did not
mind.

Centralia, Wn.. May IL Relief
Workers Protective Association won
another victory here this week. Be
low is printed an exact copy Of a
letter written by the County Com
missiOners 10 the state Welfare
Board. Mass pressure is forcing the
attention of the commissioners upon
workers organizations.
The letter, addressed to Governor
Martin, Charles Ernst and Mr., Pew
follows:
Gentlemen:
1T has come to the attention of
the Board of Lewis County Com
missioners, this date, that the dis
tribution of Federal Relief commod-
tiles, such as flour, meat, cloth and
many other articles has been order
ed discontinued to the INDECENT of
our county.
This, If true, will work a very
great hardship not only upon the
INDECENT but upon Lewis County,
as we are not in a financial condi-
ton to possibly furnish these com
lHOulllGS.
THE Relief Workers Association
have made an earnest appeal that
these commodities be continued, as
heretofore, and also filed their pro-
test against suspension of this dis
tribution at this time.
1T is a very difficult matter to
explain why indigents are not en-
titled to the same consideration as
any other class of citizens, unem-
ployed or otherwise.
IF this matter can receive your
immediate attention, that the distri-
button may be continued before any
hardships are placed on the needy
and the County Commissioners, it
will be greatly appreciated, both by
the needy and the County Commits
siOners.
Thanks for your earnest and i'm
mediate consideration.
Yours very truly,
Board of County Commissioners,
Thco FIoss. Chairman
M. J. Rarey, James Tucker"

One of the women arrested earlier

charged with using vile language
against a strike breaker. She was
accused Of calling a strike breaker

witnesses who proved that she was
not even on the picket line that
particular morning and that the
testimony of the ? defendants

each other she was sentenced to

At 10 a. m. Sheriff Bartell and a
bulldozing deputy sheriff came to
the front door of the court house
and declared the sale would begin.
Stop Mortgage Holders Bids
Nicman's son bid $4,000 cash. A
lord, made an attempt to bid but
the militancy of the workers and
farmers kept her and all others
from bidding in.
The entire audience of workers
gathered began TO shout sell at
$4,000" and to surge ahead. At this
time a group of paid thugs near
tho sheriff began to get tough.
Workers near them told them to
forget their vigilante tactics or they
would have trouble and plenty of

Workers in the courthouse were
singing Solidarity" and this was
leading to the point where bids
could not be heard. A mistake was

to turn over the deed. The sheriff
started for the office.
Send Committee for Deed
The chairman of the meeting pro-
posed to the workers and farmers
that the committee go in, see the
sheriff, find out the full particulars
and get the deed.
The committee was met in the
sheriff's office with a further cam
paign of terror. A deputy sheriff
vent over to the desk and taking out
a blackjack moved toward the COM
mittee. He was told by the workers
to put it away or he would get
his CUTS torn out.
The sheriff upon questioning
stated that he had sold the farm
to Mr.. Glenn for 100000 by check.
He was asked If 1t was a certified
check. The reply was, mo, but I
will take a chance on it," He had
previously stated he would obey
the law and accept nothing but cash
or certified checks.
The committee notified him that
the sale was phoney They further
stated that they would fight the
eviction. The answer of the Sher-
if was that the workers could pro-
test the sale to the Judge.
Judge Refuses to Act
The committee then went to the
Judge of the County Courts, Camp

stated that there was nothing he
could do but allow a protest and
hear the evidence.
