PRICE FIVE UENTS WINNIPEG POLICE RAID LABOR TE MPLE NATION WIDE SVT:RIKE OF OPERATORS BEINS TEN LABOR LEADERS ARE HELD PRISONERS IN WINNIPEG'S PENI (Special United Press Wire.) Winnipeg, June 18.-As a result of the sensational raid made here by federal officials, 10 labor leaders are prisoners and are being held incommunicado in Stony Mountain peni tentiary, with the northwest mounted police guarding the labor temple. No person is permitted within 100 yards of the build ing. Warrants were issued for four others. Military intelligence officers and other government offi cers have been planning the raid for a week, but had deferred action until the government could supply the powerful weapon desired in the drastic deportation act. Under this law all aliens and "British-born trouble makers" can be deported. Charge Inciting Police Force. The arrests were based on war rants charging "inciting the police force to neglect of duty" and re sponsibility for publication in the strike bulletin last Wednesday of a special article containing "false and libelous statements." The story was headed, "Police Replaced by Thugs," and vigorously attacked the special constables. Civic authorities were as sailed for dismissing the regular po lice force. The 10 men in prison are Alder men John Queen and A. C. Capps, the- Rev. William 'Ivens, George Armstrong, R. D. Russell, R. E. Bray, Moses Charitonoff, Moses Al mazoff, Mike Bereltozuk and A. C. Schoppelreidk. The police also raided the labor temple, Ukrainian hall and Liberty hall, where a vast quantity of liter ature was seized. The utmost se crecy surrounded the plans for the arrests. Every man arrested sub mitted quietly on being shown the official warrant. Of the four men for whom war rants were issued, Sam Blumenberg is reported to have crossed the bord er into the United States. W. A. t Pritchard, a prominent Vancouver labor leader, is said to be on his way to the Pacific coast; R. J. Johns, lo cal labor leader, is in Montreal, and i B. Devyatkin, a Russian, cannot belt located. Although it was reported that the Dominion government contemplated making arrests of alleged agitators in western cities, dispatches from Van couver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saska toon, Moose Jaw, Regina and Bran don stated that no such action had been taken.

DATE IS SET FOR MORRISSEY'S HEARING Police Commission Fixes June 30 As Time When Accused Detective Will Answer Grave Charges. Chief of Detectives Edward Mor rissey will be called upon to face the accusations of drunkenness, cruelty and conduct unbecoming a police of ficer and a gentleman at 10 o'clock on the morning of June 30, according to action taken,by members of th board of police commissioners, who met last night to consider the charges against Morissey which were filed late last week. Included in the charges filed against the officer by Attorney Wittenberg, acting as coun sel for a number of men and women of the city, is one that Morrissey cruelly beat his wife repeatedly just prior to her death last March. From present indications the police commission's hearing will furnish one of the sensations of the year. From the interest taken by the public generally in the grave charges that have repeatedly been made against Morrissey, it is expected that the council chamber, in which the trial will be held, will be crowded at all sessions. FEAR INVA SION BY ALLIES Disregard of Counter Pro posals Anger Germans. Brockdorff May Not Re turn to Versailles. (Special United Press Wire.) Weimer, June 18.-Germany fears the consequence of rejecting the re vised peace treaty. This is the atti tude apparent in government circles. Opposition has not abated one whit following receipt of the official sum marization of the revised terms from Versailles, but the prospect of allied invasion and reference to a block ade, with bolshevism obviously dominating influence here, astonish ment and anger at what is regarded as an utter disregard of the German counter proposals, is voiced on all sides. No government official could be found who considered the con cessions sufficient. There is a tendency now to criti cize America for the situation Ger many now finds herself in, rather than Great Britain or France. If the present government cannot see its way clear to sign, it appears cer tain that a substitute government will be immediately organized, with independent socialists dominating. Such a government would accept the terms with the support of the bulk of German commoners. General sentiment is expressed. however, that signing by the pres ent government is impossible. One authority declared it was doubtful even if Brockdorff will return to Versailles, especially in view of the demonstration by French civilians there, as the German delegation was about to entrain for Weilner. Ston ing of the delegates with the conse quent injury to Frau Dornbusich and Herr M1yers, is regarded as a breach of all diplomatic amenities. It is sug gested, if Germany's decision is ad verse, Secretary Hanielin at Ver sailles would merely be instructed to report the fact. The government group was as tonished when the brief summariza tion reply to the note was received. While leaders would not make any comment, minor officials expressed disapproval, declaring the allies' an swer "stupified them." (Special United Press Wire.) Weimer, June 18.-The German cabinet discussed the allies' reply in conference this afternoon. At the conclusion of the discussion, which lasted several hours, the official a spokesman told the United Press "in a clination is certainly all against signing of the treaty. Absolutely y the only determent of such a course is the consideration of whether the Q fate of Germany would be worse y through refusing to sign, than through signing." Brockdorff ar rived from Versailles, but refused to e comment on the allies' reply. Ger ti man troops reached the city during the night, apparently to ward against c a possible coup d' etat. .t - it WEATHER FOR MONTANA. e l Fair Wednesday and Thurs Li day; cooler in east portion Wednesday. SANOTHER INCOME TAX GO WITHUNITED STATES Paris last night for Brussels. The news of the British move is said to have aroused BRITISH ORDERS DON'T GO WITH UNITED STATES (Special United Press Wire.)

PROVIDING FOR A SEPARATE PEACE Resolutions Prepared By Senators May Be Signal If Germany Refuses to Sign Allied Treaty. (Special United P'res Wire.) Washington, J.un1 18.-Separal. peace with Gcernmaiy is provided in at least three iresolutionis being prejpared by the senators for introduction at "the proper time." Iefusal of Gor-' mIany to sign the allied treaty, or hot signing of it, or the defeat of thei Knox resolution in tlie senate are among the events which senators said are likely to Ibe the signal for the introduction of separate peace resolutions.

FRENCH PEOPLE HOOT GERMAN DELEGATES Feeling Against Enemy Il lustrated in Crowd When Enemy Representatives Leave Their Hotel. (Special United Press Wire.) Paris, June 18.-With peace or war to be declared before 7 o'clock Monday evening, tension in Paris re calls that preceding the opening of hostilities in August, 1914. Feeling of French people is illustrated by the fact that when the Germans left the hotel for their special train, a crowd of over 4,000 people hooted and insulted the enemy representa tives. This is the first demonstra tion against them during all the time they have been in France. Latest advices from Berlin and Weimer reiterate that Germany will not accept the revised treaty unless it contains important modifications. Optimism in the allied peace circles, which has been noticeable the last few days, has changed to a feeling of uncertainty as to whether Ger nmany would find the modifications sufficient to warrant acceptance. There were no demonstrations in the streets; people went about their business as usual, baut the air was electric with nervous tension as the citizens silently considered the one great question. "peace or war." (Continued on Page Two.).
