DENVER, Feb. 12.—At last two state policemen are to stand trial in southern Colorado. Although the cor. oner’s jury laid blame on state po- lice for death of Clemente Chavez at } Walsenburg, Jan, 12, the only charge \filed against them is that they ob- tained thirty dollars under false pre- tenses from a pool hall proprietor. This case and others growing out of the strike will be heard during the district court term which opens Tues- day. The Denver capitalist press says, “Although many shootings as a result of the strike there are no mur- der cases to be tried.” The reason for this which capitalist dailies do not give is that the only possible murder trials would be of state police and that is against the rules in Rocke- feller domain. Following the lifting of meningitis quarantine in northern field other strikebreaking tactics are being used and the militia arrest men daily on |streets and in meetings whether they jare active leaders or not. There are jnow eleven military prisoners in Greeley jail. Seven were arrested during the last few days and another four were named in habeas corpus | Proceedings brought in federal court in Denver late Wednesday. The Industrial Commission hearings are practically closed except that one |witness will be heard next Tuesday |for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. |It is expected that award on work- |ing conditions will be handed down within ten days and then a separate | hearing will be held on wages. DENY CITY MOVES TO SAVE Se FARE Real Action Avoided by Officials (Continued from Page One) to operate for the period of the pre- sent contracts, or until 1962. This plan is believed to be supported by Samuel Untermyer, special counsel for the Transit Commission. It is generally conceded that the Interborouzh can secure the injune- tion threatened. “If the city officials together with Al Smith, who is the virtual leader of Tammany Hall, were really honest in their attempts to prevent a fare increase,” a former high official in the city government said yesterday, “it would be an easy matter to stop this whole procedure. Smith Could Dictate. “Everyone knows that the present directors in the I. R. T. have no real right to speak for the railroad. They own no stock and are merely a gang of plunderers which uses the road for personal ends. The city should com- municate with the real owners and first of all demand the reraoval of \this parasitic group. Smith Supports Steal. “In this connection it would be very simple for Al Smith, who is now on intimate terms with J, P. Morgan and Co., which controls trac- tion in the city, to use his influence with that concern to’ oust the gang. It would be easy to say to Morgan: ‘You are seeking to secure a contract to operate the whole New York trac- tion system unded the coming unifi- cation plan. Then you must stop this |fare steal if you want consideration jin the future.’ | “But it is, of course, childish,” this mer official continued, “to expect Al Smith to act in this manner. He is sold out to the traction interests and is supporting the fare steal. In turn the Wall Street bankers have promised to. support him for pres- i ident.” Phone Stuyvesant 3816 . 9, John’s Restaurant SPECIALTY: ITALIAN DISHES A place with atmosphere where all rodical»y meet. 302 E. 12th St. “lew York.
