FLAYED “STEELWORKERS’ ARE BY STRIKERS ~~ Industrial Relations Board Members Not Bona Fide Represen- yo pany. fF voxer’ tatives of Employes, Coal Miners’ Leader Declares in - Refuting Statements M ade by Pueblo Company TRINIDAD, Colo., Sept. 24.— (By statement of the Colorado Fue! asking miners to accept a wage cut was “‘ in a statement issued by John America. The statement was issued the company and coal miners in Las Antmas and Huerfano counties to be held today, *"We defy the Clorado Fuel and Iron company to show that the committee of steel mill workers brought here to try and persuade coal miners to ac- cept a reduction in wages in any way represents the employes of the ‘steel mills of Pueblo,” the statement. said. “No meeting of steelworkers was held authorizing this so-called committee to take detion.. Their expense for this mission” for the Colorado Fuel and Iron company were paid by the com. I am informed they are em- representatives under ~ the Rockefeller industrial plan and that they no more represent the steel mill employes than employes’ representa- tives of the coal mines represent the maine entployes.” The statement further declared that the expenses of the miners’ commit. tee sent to Pueblo last week to. in- vestigate the situation there were borne by the company. He denied that the miners sont them or even knew they were going. He declared that no meeting of the Pueblo employes an. thorized the sending of a committce of steel workers here. “The men idle in the Pueblo milis accepted two reductions of 15 per ¢ach in ofder to get more work,” statement says. “Now, after cut- ting off nearly a third of their wages they are out of work. The company altempting to make the same argu- ment to the miners. “This is all part of a clever.propa- ganda program of the Colorado Fuel and Tron company to reduce wages.” The statement declared that the Rockefeller industrial plan workings were doing more to discredit the p'an than the criticism of the United Mine Workers. The.statement insisted the njen throughout this section were abandoning the plan. No annotincement has been made as to further plans of the steel workers’ committee. A notice posted at the mine office of the Sopris mine called a. meeting for employes there for next Monday at which the steel workers are scheduled to present their views. ‘There also was posted a report of the committee of employes’ representa- tives of the mines which visited Pueblo.

Miss Rappe’s death was discussed as an “unfortun- ate accident” which they were unable to understand. ‘The morning after the drinking par- ty at the St. Farncis, Semnacher said he met Arbuckie in his apartment with Sherman, Fischbach and the comedian's chauffeur, Harry McCul- tough. “Did Mr, Arbuckle say anything about what he had done to Miss Rappe™ asked Golden The witness told of an incident de- eribed by Arbuckle.

Charles P. Craig, executive di- rector of thé» St. Lawrerite-Great Lakes Tidewater association. ‘The object of the visit of these men who are giving: their time 'to what Mr. Harding characterized’ as one “of those big human propositions with which I like to be connected,” was to enlist the support of the Cas. per chamber of commerce in mov~ ing Casper and Wyoming “1,500 miles closer to the ocean than it now it.” Mr: Craig, a powerful factor in the plan of making the St, Lawrence and the Great Lakes navigable to ocean ners 17500 miles inland, outlined the obstacles and the benefits of such a plan and told the diners of what could be accomplished if the western country took up the plan which would be bene- ficial to the whole country. He was foliowea py Mr. Yara:ng, a master public speaker, known to Cas- per from former. visits. Mr. Harding told yf the accomplish- ments in the plan so far and pleaded that this state put its full power be- hind the plan. “There is one place in .the country where Wyoming is as big}as New York. ‘That place is in the United States senate. There Wyoming has two Votes and New York has the same number. Wyoming's seniority in con- grees could be ably brought to bear if thero was just a little rumbling from back home. “In the house, New York admits that 1¥yoming’s\ one member has more power than her whole ceiegation. There is one place where things, can be wmade to count when the pian is placed before congress at the Decem- ber term.” After Mr. Harding coheluded his re- marks, J. S. Mechling, moved that resolution, conveying to the board of directors of the chamber of commerce, that the sense of the Forum meeting was that the plan be given utmost support, and that Wyoming's repre- sentatives at Washington bs ac- quainted with this decision.

The senate adopted a motion to proceed today with the treaty.

It is for this son, whose brave service |w th Uncle Sam's forces during the war won him distinction, and gave his moth- er a trophy which sne proudly dis. plays—a victory meda!—that the mother is pleading. This ‘is the story of her son's wrong doings as she related them: The son, then a lad of 15 years, ran away from Casper at the first outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Germany. By tying about h's age he was admitted to army service, joining the colors at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. He served faithfully and well dur- ing war time. He was wounded and gassed in the Argonne carrying on with thousands of other heroes who turned \he defeat and swept the back waters on German soil Spending the remainder of the war period in a hospital in France, the lad was invatided back to Amer- ica with some of the early contin- gents. After he had sufficently covered he was returned to civil I a hero, bearing an honorable dts- arge with citations for his serv- Basking in the glory of the vic- torious American people he again donned the American uniform, this time seeking enlistment in the coast artillery, He was given a 30- day furlough’ which time he spent in Casper with his mother, who oks* out a meager existence doing domestic wor Willing to sacrifice her own well being. in order that her hero son's aspirations might be fulfilled, Mrs Erickson bade God speed to her son on his return to the colors. It was upon his return that his castles began to disappear. Instead of being as&’gned to the coast artil- lery he was again ordered to report to cayalry contingents on the Mexi- can border. He gamely took the or- but life, soon became yweari- some and the lad deserted the flag the flaming emblem for which he had once fought and bled. Returning immediately to Chey- enne he enlisted again and this time was attached to the Fifteenth cav- alry, the permanent garrison at Fort Russell. When he enlisted ito was under the name of John B.

That is the strict arm of militarism. ~The one time hero had been punished for leaving a branch of the service to join another. It was a fraudulent enlistment the court found. As the boy stepped from the pris- on gates at Leavenworth he was re- arrested and returned to Cheyenne where he: must again face a court- martial court, th’s time charged with forgery of a $20 government money order.
