The trio bound over this morn- ing under bond of $1,500 each are Frank Smith, Wiliam Ramsay and Ted Kirkendall. They were specifi- cally charged with the theft of tires valuéd at $600 from a Glenrock tire company. Two others, “Denver Red” Mee- han and a man named Brakebill are in custody and will be given prelim- inarfes a week from today at Glen- rock.

FRANCISCO, June 19.—A roundup of members of the Indus- trial Workers of thes World in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Arizona is to be con- ducted by the United States depart- ment of justice because of the alleged activity of the organization in these states in spreading the foot and mouth disease in California and illegally aiding in the general boyexgt of California goods, it was announced today by Grove L. Fink, assistant United States * district attorney. The campaign was directed from the I. W. W. headquarters in Chi- cago, Fink sald. The defendants will be prosecuted under a section of the Sherman anti-trust act which penalizes any illegal act that will result in blocking interstate trade. One man ts under arrest in San Luls Obispo and another in Sacra- mento, it was announced by Fink. Infected dogs were used to, spread the infectior over a large area, Fink eaid. The names of the men arrested are being kept secret. The department of justice was asked to investigate after the foot and mouth epizootic took a long and mysterious jump from Stanis- laus to Los Angeles county, Fink said. The possibility that the bacteria might have been deliber- ately placed in berry and herd ship- ments was carefully looked into. WYOMING—Fair tonight not much n NUMBER 204, BLOW DEALT REDS SHOWN IN MEETING “f = Weakness of Communist Organization Stands Out in Con- vention at St. Paul; LaFollette to Be Tendered Nomi- nation, But He Wil! Not Accept, Is Declaration By DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune.) ST. PAUL, Minn., June 19. —Senator Robert delivered a body blow to the so-called F. here, but he can’t accept, for the it should not do. of the convention: Without LaFollette, this gather- ing is hardly of national importance. |} Whoever is nominated and runs on the ticket apart. from LaFollette will receive a negligible vote at the polls, But certain things happened here which @re national, if not interna- tional, in their significance. In the first place, the communists revealed themselves as a small minority even in this convention of radicals. Talk- ing with them individually, one finds their bark worse than their bite. They speak of affiliations with Mos- cow as fraternal, but when you pin them down to a formula for secur- ing their objectives, they do not clearly indicate that they mean re- volution by force of arms. They know how remote even as their pos- sible triumph by means of the bal- lot, They are Communists in theory and not many of them would prac- tice what they. preach if it came to a showdown. Indeed their very ac- quiescence in a convention which plans to-put-a® ticket in the-field»to be submitted in the constitutional way to the electorate Js an admission that Russian methods: are,- at this stage of the game at least, futile. And Jjf-there js cause’ for 5 hag tion in the fact that in a n of 110,000,000 people, only a handful of communists are in evidence, there also is a stirring revelation in the attitude which the real Farmer- Labor leaders 6f Minnesota and the friends of Senator LaFollette take toard communism. Senator Magnus Johnson, of Min- nesota, stayed away from this con- vention. The leaders of the Farmer- Labor Party and their newspaper organ shunned the meeting and den- ounced it in bitter terms, There were many members of the Farmer- Labor Party of Minnesota seated as delegates and there were radicals from other,parts of the country, but they are men who tolerate com- munism as a harmless theory and do net think as much influence can be wielded by snubbing thelr radical brethren as by_sitting with them and attempting to persuade them to moderation. The whole case against the conven- tion was put in a nutshell by Senator LaFollette ‘when he said. “Although the national communist organizaion as such may be grant- ed only five delegates in the St. Paul convention, the basis of representa- Hon adopted is lending itself to thelr purpose to control. Reposing complete confidence in the sound: ness of the deliberate judgement of the American people, I have no ap- prehension that the communist party can ever command any con siderable support in this country. I do not question thelr right, under the constitution, to submit their ts- sues to the people, but I most em- phatically protest against their being admitted into the councils of any body of progressive voters.’ Notwithstanding Mr. LaFollette's advice, the leaders here did admit the (Continued on Page Five.)

The fumes were so strong that it was impossible to stay in the room and the factions that have prevented adjournment agreed to an hour's recess in order to clear the gas from the chamber. Three Republican senators and one Democrat were overcome by the gas and treated by physicians. The gas was in a newspaper dis- covered behind rostrum draperies Governor .Flynn, who appeared in the chamber shortly after the dis- overy of the scaked newspaper, de- clared that an attempt apparently had been made to suffocate Lieuten- ant Governor Toupin, who showed effect, of the fumes and left. the chamber, When the gas became apparent, senators and Spectators became groggy. Soon Senators Sherman, Santerson and Sharpe, Republicans, and —Pewers,-Democrat, sank into coma and were carried out.
