Re- ENEMY ROUGHLY HANDLED Strikebreakers Dragged Front Mines j J'cmliiine Hands and Made to Kiss American Flag. BY JAMES C. CARSON. , fCopyrlxht, IVL'1, by The Oregonian.) FRANKLIN, Kan.. Dec. 18. (Spe cial.) The Amazon army entrenched fcehind neglected housework, rested en laurels won In the offensive against th "loyalist" miners of the southeastern Kansas district last piffht. For four days the 6000 wives, moth ers, sisters, daughters and sweet hearts of the- "rebel" unionists fol lowers of the Imprisoned Alezande llowat have swept. In fan-flhaped formation, over the' flat lands of th Kansas prairies routine: workers In (he shafts and strlppets with bar rages of stones and pepper boxes. "General" Marie Goskl, In com.man tif the "petticoat brigade." Issued an efflcial communique, predicting re rewed activity for next week, bow ever. "We have only opened our warfare ton those who would take bread from eur babies," Mrs. Goskl said. "W must bake and prepare the food for cur men. Then we will fight again.' The lull in the Amazon warfare In the Kansas district Is only the calm tiefore the storm, observers in the field declare. , Strike Starts Trouble. The army of men began Its often hive last Wednesday. llowat, district president of the Kansas miners, was Imprisoned fo violating the states Industrial cour law by calling a strike. John li. Lewis, international head of Howat's union, turned against the "fire-eating; (Scotchman." Lewis commanded Howat to order the miners back to work on the ground that they were out in vio latlon of contracts. Howat refused from his cell at- the county Jail at Columbus, Kan. Lewis therefore expelled Howat from the union and with him all min ers who remained loyal to the district chief. The action threatened to split the International union of miners. Krank Farrlngton, Illinois district chief, sides with Howat. The 100,000 miners of Illinois pledged an equal number of dollars a month to teed the Howatites. But men sent by Lewis to the dis trict began to get some workers back in the mines. Then the women, see lng control slipping from the hands of their men, took command. Women Arm for Fray, Headed by "General" Ho ski, 3000 women went Into the field. They stormed the mines where Lewis' "loyalists" were working. Men were dragged from the shafts mud strippets. They were made to kiss the American flag and swear obedience to Howat. Those who hesitated were set upon scratched, clawed, and In many In stances their clothing' was ripped irora tnetr bodies. Tuesday the Amazon army grew to 4000. Wednesday saw the most am bitious campaign of the drive. Over 6000 women formed a mob at Frank lin in the heart of the so-called "red center. They were Poles, Slavs, Italians and English, with a goodly scattering of Americans. In a babble of foreign tongues, and with a gjrls band daughters of mln era at their head, they began i march southward Into the heart of the territory loyal to Lewis and Kainst Howat. Sheriff Gould of Crawford county. wiio Bought to block their progress was taken a prisoner of war and made to accompany the army. The "sliuf-shuf-shuf of feet over the dusty roads halted now and then for rest. Women of All Types. There were women of every type. The majority affected the flaring colors so dear to the heart of the for eign woman. Red wrappers, topped by green and yellow capes, some with nljrh-heeled shoes and silk stockings. others Btocklngless, still others dressed In their Sunday plumage, formed the army of privates. The women marched with babies ot their Breasts, with their families cf six and eight and even 12 tagging on behind. They had come from the little homes, shanties in the unpaint cd mining towns, which spread over the two counties. Many carried lunch baskets. Others had deposited loaves of black bread and some bottles of the dago rod" found in every miner's home in the supply train the autos driven by their men which followed the marchers. The food, like the food on which tho miners now are living, came from the ration tores set up over the dis trict by Illinois sympathizers. The etrikns have been living on these rations for many weeks. The supply ot "claret" Is the only article bought. As the women marched out the hack towns" of the district were deserted. There were women in their eighties carried In automobiles in the line of march and girls who had left the class rooms of the mining town schools. 1'atriotlc airs and jazz tunes were mnrching songs. Pepper boxes, clubs and stones were the weapons. Unable to control the situation. county authorities appealed to th state for aid. Troops were rushe in from nearby points and last nigh were patrolling the mine zone. Th mines are idle, however. Threatene with pepper barrages afraid to fac the clawing, scratching women, th "loyalists" would not return to the posts. "When they do we will march again." General Goskl declared. "W are fighting against the industria court law of Kansas and we will fight as long as we have strength Mrs. Goski's regiments were undls mayed by the presence of troops. Th warriors gather on street corners the little mining towns at night to discuss the next drive. A report that Governor Allen o Kansas would personally lead th attack against the woman's army onl served to bring out recruits, while th Amazon army plans its battle th men of the camps stand back as they have done during the offensive, si lently smiling. The men, as th women raid mines, stand at a dis tance, the reserve army, ready and anxious to give battle to any who may lay hands on their fighters. The district is in a state of terror. From darkness to dawn the camp are a nightmare of rumor and threat vast quantities .of dynamite have been stolen from the mines abou Mulberry despite the guard troops Both sides are ready for. the clash observers declared. And a clash is believed certain. GUT CURA HEALS SCALES ON HEAD Also Eruptions cn Face. Very Disfiguring. trouble begad with small of scales upon ray scalp whicn spread and covered the top of my bead.

Decrease Due Mainly to Cms Valuations of Public Util ity Corporations. in OREGON CITY. Or., Dec. 18. (Spe clal.) Oregon City's taxable valua tion for the 1922 assessment roll shows a decrease of $43,911.21 under the assessment for the 1920 tax roll according to figures on the incorpo rated towns in the county Just com pleted by Assessor Cook. The valu ation, upon which the 1922 taxes will be computed, is $3,184,593.22. Last year the valuation of .Oregon City was $3,228,509.43. The decrease is for the greater part In the value of the public serv ice utilities, which underwent a cut over the entire country this year as the result of the percentage tax ratio reduction made by the public service commission. Oregon City's valuation, exclusive of the public service corporations amounts to $2,741,660, a decrease of but $1000 from last year. The public service corporation valuations, how ever, dropped from $499,644.43 to $442,938.22. These figures are based upon the corrected valuations for the year 1920, which shows a change of $395,- 000 over the first figures published In the' assessor's report. L. L. Porter, recorder of West Linn last year, dis covered that the public service com mission erred In the division of the water power valuations. The result was that $395,000 was taken from the Oregon City valuation and placed to the credit of west Linn. West Linn a valuation for 1921, as just -computed, will amount to $2,634,- 231, as against $2,527,091.86. an in crease of approximately $7140. E I. IE TICKET, FUXDS GIVEN' OXE OF "BABES IX WOOD."
