STATE TROOPS PATROL KANSAS > MINE DISTRICT ‘Shock Squads’ of ‘Amazon Army* Turn Out to See Soldiers Arrive. QUIET PERVADES FIELD PITTSBURG, Kan, Dec. 15.—Etat troopers, scattered in detachments through the Kansas coal fields, began systematic patrol duty at noon today. Quiet pervaded the entire district. Striking miners and the victorious ■‘shock troops” of the "‘Amazon army,” which in a three days offensive have practically closed down every mine in the field, turned out en masse to see the soldiers. No violence was offered. Naught but sullen stares greeted the soldiers as they took the posts assigned them. Franklin, heretofore headquarters of the "Amazon army,” was reported quiet. The State troops already on the ground included large numbers of mounted cavalry which will be distributed over Crawford County to patrol the mine field. Tension was noticeable as the troops arrived. RAIDING DENOUNCED BT ALEX HOWAT. As the troops moved in, a statement from Alexander Howat, chief of the "romp" forces for whom the ‘‘Amazon army” Is fighting, denounced the raiding by the women. Just before the troops arrived county official* and deputies In several automobiles left ■ for the mine fields ' around Franklin to attempt to cheek continued 'rioting which was instigated by the women. Women leaders of the ‘‘Amazon army” will le criminally prosecuted, it was declared. County Attorney C. A. Burnett announced that as soon as possible an investigation of rioting would be made and “warrants issued as the facts justify.” This action will be In addition to any taken by the military. ARRIVAL OE TROOPS KEPT SECRET. Military officials who arrived in ad- : vanee of the troops, took every precaution to shroud the arrival of the troops in secrecy, fearing violence to the troop trains. Van A. Bitner. head of the United Mine Workers “provisional government," which is contesting with Alexander Howat's “rump” organizarion for control of the Kansas fields, predicted the women would withdraw and make no more trouble. “Troops will improve conditions in the field,” Bitner asserted adding that wher the military has full control more than 50 per cent of the miners will go to work. Wild tales were told in the coal field as to the spectacular and guerilla warfare staged by the women folk of the “rump” miners. Hnndreds of women snd children wer screed to join the' “Amazon army” by the ringleaders of the crusade a rains’ working miners. It was said. Women and girls were pulled from bed and beaten , until they dressed and came along, the reports said. ULSTER WON’T . BECOME PART r OF FREE STATE (Continued From Page One.)

De Valent had the letter with him when he entered the meeting of DalL Tension between the Sinn Fein factions was at fever height when Dali Eireann met Efforts to effect a compromise over the rival forces headed by De Valera and Collins apparently made little headway. DE VALERA CLAIMS MORAL VICTORY. De Valera won another “moral victory” when he succeeded in having the session held in secret, Collins and -Arthur Grlffilh. founder of the Sinn FVin. attempted to have an open session, but were defeated. It is likely an open session will be held tomorrow and that a vote upon the ratification of the peace settlement will take place before Saturday. VIEWS OF IRISH NEWSPAPERS. Irih newspapers take the view that ratification should be based on the merit* of the treaty. They con ud that it was wrong .to bring up the i ;ue whether the Irish delegates exceeded their instructions. This view, it is understood. Is held by a number of the members of Dail Eireann. They contend lhal if the treaty Is acceptable to the poop’ >. it should be ratified regardless of the manner in which it was sign*- 1.
