UNION LEADERS MADE PLANS FOR WAR MONTH AGO Prisoner Declares Many Men Were Forced to Join Red Army of Invasion. MINERS PAID FOR RIFLES WILLIAMSON, VT. Va., Sept, 3. —One of the miner* captured while rushing a machine gun of the defenders died late Friday in the Losun Hospital from wounds received in the encounter. Sheriff Ohaftn of Logan County stated this man made a dying declaration in which he charged the I'nited Mine Workers with responsibility for his being on the battle front, BY THOMAS F. HEALEY. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. LOGAN, W. Va., Sept. 3.—lt is believed here today that the miners have reached a critical situation and that their supplies are running out. The continuance of their fire and the intensity of their massed attacks yesterday were predicated, it is believed, upon desperation and the desire of their leaders to break the line of defense before Federal troops enter the field. Whatever the conditions of their supplies may be they do not lack manpower. Air scouts continue tv report heavy movements of miners through the Coal River districts to the Uuyan Ridge. They are being transported in large numbers by auto trucks and equally large numbers are advancing on foot. The prisoners brought In are lodged In the Logan County jail. Sheriff Chafln took the writer to the jail to talk to them. Three of the twenty prisoners captured during the last few days were brought into the jail ofifce separately. Two of them are mere boys, not more than twenty years old. The third, a Shrewd clever man of forty or thereabouts successfully parried all questions. Sheriff Chafin declared his a Red organiser and a leader in the red army. His name is Clyde MeGaririh and his home is in Ohio. All three prisoners admitted the march of the miners and the battles tbey staged In the hills had been organised by "some one” whom they did not know.,' They said they had moved out under commands from mine union officials, but denied they knew where they were going or what was their mission. John Stalling, the first produced, said he was 20 years old. He is a resident of Logan County. He denied joining the Red forces willingly. Stalling said he went into the coal river district for the purpose of visiting his mother and he had been forced at the point of a gun to Join the invading army. He said at the time he was captured he .was advancing toward the Logan line for the purpose of surrendering. MEN REQUIRED TO PAT FOR RIFLE. Stalling wore a red band about his arm. Union officials, he said, distributed the bands to the miners and told them to wear them always. Each man. he said, was given a rifle and many rounds of ammunition. In some instances, he said, men were given rifles and were required to pay for them by the '‘check-off" system. Each, man was given a suit of overalls. Paswords were sent through the Army and the men were given a special form of challenge. "Who might be there" was the challenge and the following words were countersigned or passwords: "Mingo:” "We come creeping and slipping.” Frank Hager, another boy, evidently told the truth. He said he had been forced to join the army against hU will. McGarish said he had come to West Virginia a few months ago from Ohio and had secured work. He admitted membership in the miners’ union. He said he started with a company of miners to attend a mass meeting, but en route met the returning miners, who informed him that Keeney and Mooney had spoken at the mass meeting and there was no nse proceeding. I.ater, he said, a special train passed through the coal river district carrying miners and that he Joined them. When the party reached the hills near Logan he said he was given a rifle and a red band and the pass words quoted above with the exception of the word “Mingo.” He was asked the names of the leaders, but could only mention a man named “Wbltey.” The prisoner denied knowing the destination of the marching miners. He said he had carried the gnn, but had not flred it. He denied evil intentions, but admitted he was "breaking the law somewhat.” He attempted to convey the impression that he blindly followed the or dera of ‘‘some one" and that he had done no harm.

Want to See Justice in Mingo Trials and Organize the Field MADISON, W. Va., Sept. 3.—“And what's it all about ?” This was the question a correspondent asked one of the grim, determined men leading the miners' army, sitting by a campfire not far from the front this morning. “Why are you and your comrades going this march?” The le £ r, whose name for obvious reasons w nnot be given, hesitated, then answered: “I reckon there are many different reasons. But I think I speak for most of the men when .1 say that we want to get to Mingo County by next Tuesday and see that justice is done in the trials to begin then. "That isn’t all, however,” the leader continued. "We want to put an end to the mine guard system and the Baldwin-Felts detectives in the coal mining regions. We want the fellows who are working here to have a chance to organize, so that our mines won’t be idle while these ‘scab’ mines are running full time. The men want to come in, but they're afraid.” "And will you go home when Federal troops get here?” “Were not fighting Uncle Sam,” was the answer. “We're fighting hoggish operators and mine thugs and spies. They’re the fellows we are after. Many of us fought in the army overseas. I did myself, but this isn't what we fought for, and we hope that when the troops get here tliey’ll see that we get a square deal.”

Sept. 3—A final appeal to Indiana women to familiarize themselves with the proposed amendments to the State constitution to be voted on in special election next Tuesday, was issued here today by the Indiana League of Women Voters.

"This is women's opportunity to make her vote count in the most Important election which can confront a voter —an election governing changes in the constitution UDder which she lives. "Parties and policies change, legislators enact and repeal laws, but the one thing on which everything else must rest is our constitution. Sept. 6 gives you a chance to be a constitution maker. We beg you to inform yourself on the amendments and not only to go to the polls yourself, but to interest others to accompany you. “If women are not active and interested in this election they will face this responsibility: That basic law may be adopted by a very small group of people and that by inaction and indifference this small group of people may be allowed to make or remake our Indiana constitution. “There are some of the amendment* which individuals of us favor or oppose, but we are all united in support of No. 1, the amendment which requires that every man or woman in Indiana must be a citizen of the United States in order to vote.” Mrs. E. A. Torrence, Evansville, chairman of the Americanization committee of the league, is appealing to all ministers in the State to speak on Sunday in lehaif of the first amendment.

FARMERS THINK RAW DEAL GIVEN AT CITY MARKET Unable to Sell Products to Peddlers Until After 6 O’clock in Evening. Farmers who came to the city Friday afternoon to sell produce to peddlers and consumers at the city market were angry j when they discovered the new rules which | the county commissioners, the board of public safety, and Cty Market Master ; Harry Llbenu have put in force. I For some time the farmers and truck gardeners have been driving into town i early Friday afternoon. They park their automobiles, trucks and wagons along the courthouse side of East Washington street between Alabama and Delaware streets, paying twenty-five cents per vehicle for the space. Then they have been either selling out their entire loads to peddlers or retailing tljem. The peddler, as a rule, sets up his stand in the space which the farmer had rented and p-tails from it until closing time Saturday evening. This enabled many farmers to dispose of a load of produce early Friday afternoon and hustle on home, losing only a half day from his fields. It also resulted in the strewing of much refuse over Washington street, due to the transfer of loads from the farmers’ vehicles to the peddlers' stands. East Washington street merchants complained to the county commissioners and the new regulations resulted. CANNOT SELL UNTIL 6 O’CLOCK. The regulations now provide that the farmers may drive to the East Washington street spaces on Friday afternoon, but that they must neither retail nor wholesale their products until after 6 o’clock Friday evening, and that they must clear the space not later than 8 o’clock Saturday morning. The same rule holds good on the other market days, Tuesday and Thursday. The city and county also has announced its intention of keeping peddlers from or orating on the courthouse lawu on other than market days. Several were going full blast Friday, afternoon, however. Gathering in angry little groups the producers discussed the now orders Friday fternoon. Many declared they believed the middle men had talked the authorities into issuing the orders. They are distinctly to the advantage of the retailer, the farmers and gardeners said, becaune the peddlers, knowing that the farmer must get off of East Washington street by 8 o'clock on the market day mornings may refuse to buy from the producers until almost the last minute, thereby making the farmer take about any price the middle men cars to offer. Many citizens have been in the habit of going to “producers' row” in the afternoon and evening before market day in order to buy fresh products direct from the farmers and gardeners. The order prohibiting Sales until 6 o’clock on the evening before market day prevents the farmers from doing much retail business if they desire to get home that evening, it was stated. SOME SOLD DESPITE ORDERS. Open defiance to the order was expressed by some producers, who sold muikmelons. watermelons and other products to anybody who happened to ask for them before 6 o'clock Friday evening. Others disobeyed the order sur reptitlously. One farmer was overheard to tell a prospective customer that he could not sell a cantaloupe until after C o'clock, bnt “if you'll climb up on the wagon, get a melon, fall off the wagon and drop a liickle while you're falling no one would object." While the authorities are putting restrictions upon the farmers, a man in one group suggested they ought to be watching the men who come around to collect the 25-cent fees. These men, according to the procuder, give receipts only when they are asked for. He said he supposed the fee collector had to account to the authorities only for the amount of money his receipt stubs called for. The collector never refuses to give a receipt when It Is asked for, however, he added.

ASK FARMERS TO AID ARMENIANS Sack, 20 Feet High, to Receive Grain.

WOMEN MAKE STRONG APPEAL Voters’ League in Final Plea for First Amendment. A strong appeal on behalf of the first amendment, bearing the signature of a group of well known women of the State has been sent out from the headquarters of the Indiana League of Women Voters ; to all the presidents of women's organl j zations over the .State. The women whose signatures are affixed to the letter In i elude Mrs. A. H. Beardsley, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters; Mrs. E. C. . Rumpler, president of the Indiana Federation of Clubs; Mrs. C. O. Fenton, president of tjie Press Club of Indiana; Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley, presi- 1 dent of the W. C. T.

Mrs. Richard Edwards, first vice president of the National League of Women Voters, speaking before the members and friends of the Peru League of Women Voters, at a lawn party given on the McCaffrey terrace Wednesday afternoon, jsaid: “There is some opposition in certain quarters to the first amendment, that of citizenship, in the mistaken feeling that this is legislation against some if our splendid, loyal, foreign born popi lation. It is the very opposite. It is an invitation to them to be completely part of us, to give ns the great assurance that they are as wholly with us In faith and patriotic devotion as they are with us in their business and home pursuits. It is the removal of the last barrier between Americans of the first and second generation. "I cannot believe those men who are really contributing to Indiana's development will hesitate to take tbl3 last step. This amendment deprives no one of voting powers but merely requires a completed act of faith in our Government and establishes a probationary period before men may vote. We require twentyone years for our native-born to vote. Surely five years is not too much for our foreign-born." The Americanization pageant, written by Miss Aima Sickler and Miss Sara Lauter, was presented by a number of children as another feature of the Peru meeting. The committee in charge of tlie pageant was composed of Mrs. A. E. Catlicart, chairman; Mrs. A. Wertheim and Mrs. E. J. Black. Mrs. A.

Ind’ .a employers have been asked by the employment division of the State industrial board to employ a large number of men and women part time instead of a small number all time, Thomas A. Riley, in enarge of the division, announced today. The plans of the employment-division were contained in a letter to Governor Warren T. McCray, who will transmit the information to Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce,- to be used in the proposed unemployment conference. The information was requited by Secretary Hoover. Mr. Riley's lt-ycr follows: “Acknowledgment is made of your request of Sent. 2 regarding information desired by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. “Please be advised that this office has no knowledge of any city in onr Stale having formulated any definite plan of meeting the present problems of unemployment, except Hammond. “However, this office has set ont instructions to the manager of the free employment offices in the following cities: Hammond, Ft. Wayne, Lafayette, Muncle, Evansville, Trre Haute and Indianapolis, to get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce, civic bodies and county trustees and urge npon them to cooperate in calling upon the manufacturers, business men, etc., to devise ways end means lo create ‘od jobs' such ar putting in coal, yard cleaning, window washing, etc., to ask the manufacturers to alternate his forces as much as possible so as to give as many as possible three days a week instead of giving just a few full time.

We advised this because a hungry man is dangerous, but ho is not so apt to suffer at home among friends. “In my recent visit to ChlcSgo to the free employment office there the managers informed me there were approximately 300 000 people out of "employment In Chicago. These were not men who made their homes in Chicago, they said, but from surrounding town*, who bad come to Chicago looking for work only to become stranded there."
