Gerner, international organizer of the
United Mine Workers of America who
has directed strike operations in the
Walsenburg district since the strike
was called and who was placed under
military arrest early today at that
place, will be brought before the mili
tary commission tomorrow for exami
nation.
A number of automatic revolvers
were found in Germer's quarters at
Walsenburg and confiscated. The
militia also seized a number of letters
addressed to Germer which are being
held as evidence.
The military commission will set at
Walsenhnre tomorrow and the cases
of seven strikers, held for the murder
of four mine guards near Laveta, will
be among the first to be considered.
Louis Zancanelli, held by the military
authorities for the killing of Detective
George VV". Belcher since Nov. 20, was
formally charged with the crime in an
information filed in the district court
this morning by District Attorney J. J.
Hendrick. The verdict of the coro
ner's jury did not implicate Zancanelli
and today's action is the first taken by
the civil authorities against the pris

The military commission resumed
an investigation of the Belcher killing
again this morning and the finding
will probably be made public during
the day.

"Each successful suffrage cam

They urged that the federal gov
