WINNIPEG, May 31. A parading
trowd of 2000 or more returned soldiers
and union men today swept through
the provincial house of parliament and
then marched to the city hall, where
they broke up a council meeting.
In both buildings speakers, using vio
i lent language, charged that Premier T.
C. Norris and Mayor Charles F. Gray
were not dealing properly with the
fitrike situation and shouted that
'something had better be done soon."
This was the second parade to parlia
ment in two days. The marchers noti
fied Premier Norris they would pay
him a third call on Monday. Tonight
city and federal officers were consid
ering the advisability of asking for
military forces to guard public prop

serious than it has been since the gen
eral strike began, May 15.

Declaring that Winnipeg capitalists

a. delegation of returned soldiers and
other supporters of the general strike
in the provincial house of parliament
thie afternoon cheered several of their
members who forcibly removed a small
Canadian flag from the button hole of
Richard McDonald, secretary to the
minister of public works.
A Canadian army officer who at
tempted to defend McDonald was forci
bly thrust aside. Premier T. C. Norris
witnessed the incident.
Executives of railroads running into
Winnipeg announced this forenoon that
the railroads concerned will give strik
ing employes until Monday morning to
return to work. Yesterday officials of
the railroad brotherhoods went on rec

Conference Is Held.
A delegation of Saskatoon citizens,
Including Mayor McMillan, conferred
here with Gideon Robertson, federal
minister of labor, and indorsed his atti
tude in declaring the sympathetic
strike in Winnipeg unjustified. An an
nouncement said that two members of
the Saskatoon unions were in the dele
tat ion.
The railway brotherhood mediation

attitude of the industrial employers
and the metal trades council on the col

wish to take advantage of the increase.
Union, Klamath and several other
counties are urging the passage of
the measure, as only by having the 6
per2cent can these counties raise
enough money to finance the sort of
road programme they desire. It will
also enable some counties which are at

REDS' "FREEDOM" FLOUTED
RUSSIAN PEOPLE LEARN WHAT
BOLSHEVISM MEANS.
Masses Hare Less Liberty Than
They Enjoyed Under Czar, De
clares Major G. W. Simmons.
SEATTLE. May 81. "Russian people
have learned, to their sorrow that bol
shevism is not a political doctrine but
rather a tyranny of Ignorance and
bloodshed which leaves individuals far
less personal freedom than they found
under the czar," Major George W. Sim
mons, special commissioner of the
American Red Crorfs, said here today.
Major Simmons arrived at Vancouver,
B. C, yesterday, and Seattle today on
his way to hio St. Louis home.
"Those who op-pose bolshevism by
word or deed are ehot." the major said.
He told of murders of Siberians by bol
shevists for trivial reasons, some of
the victims dying because thejt lived in
brick houses, others because tbey
owned shops and etoree, one because he
was a policeman once, others because
they were teachers. Many priests have
been killed, he declared, and the
churches turned into theaters.
Major Simmons praised Admiral Kol-
chak's government and army and pre
dicted he would take Moscow by Au
gust. The people of Siberia and east
ern Russia, he asserted, are solidly be
hind the Kolchak government in its
fight against bolshevism.
The American Red Cross at present.
Major Simmons said, is operating 3500
hospital beds, mostly for Russian sol
diers. The Red Cross organization ex
tends from the Pacific over 4000 miles
west to well past the Ural mountains.

MONTREAL, May 31. Premier Bor
den today received a message for
warded from this city by Charles
Dickie, secretary-treasurer of division
No. 4, Railway Shopmen, insisting that
pressure be brought on employers to
accept the principle of collective bar
gaining, one of the chief issues at
Ftake in the Canadian general strike.
The message concludes:
"As our membership is very restless
owing to the situation that has been
created, and. our membership is about

STATE PROGRESS INVOLVED

tiected with the Pacific Highway by
Xneans of tap roads through the natural
passes in the coast range, such as the
road out of Roseburg to Coos Bay;
from Eugene to Florence; from Mc-
Minnville to Tillamook, and from
Albany to Newport. If built, the
Roosevelt highway will make acces
sible hundreds of thousands of acres
which are now virtually in a foreign
land.
The reconstruction measure calls for
35. 000.000 of which $2.00u,000 is for re
clamation of arid, swamp and logged
off land and which must be matched
by the federal government before being
used. The remaining $3,000,000 will be
devoted to a building programme car
ricd on throughout Oregon.
Many Iubllc Buildings.
Among the items it provides is the
terection of a state hospital at Port
land; a new penitentiary; new build
ings at the University of Oregon. State
Kormal school, Oregon Agricultural
college and armories in many parts of
the state. Each of the counties which
wishes to avail itself of the appropria
tion for its armory must match the
cum.
The reconstruction measure, which
also finances a land settlement plan
will be carried into execution by the
Etate board of control, this body being
governed by labor conditions. As
surances have been given by the gov
ernor and state treasurer that if the
bill passes they will not expend the
money unless it is necessary to assure
the employment of labor.
Members of the grange are concerned
In the passage of the market roads tax
bill. This provides a tax of one mill on
all taxable property, the proceeds to be
devoted exclusively to the construction
of market roads. It will raise about
$1,000,000 a year. Every county wish-
ing to take advantage of this road fund
may draw from the fund more than it
contributes, with the exception of Mult
nomah county. As most of the money
will come from the city property of the
state and will be spent in the country,
the farmers are enthusiastic over the
measure, and the city taxpayer is not
objecting, as good market roads will
bring more business from the country
into the towns.
Aid for Heroes Involved.
Another measure on the state ballot
aims at the direct assistance of sol
diers, sailors and marines, who enlisted
or were inducted into the service from
Oregon. This measure allows soldiers
$25 a month or $200 a year for four
years to assist in defraying their ex
penses at any institution of learning.
public or private, in Oregon. A two
tenths of a mill state tax is levied for
financing the veterans.
At present counties are limited to
going into debt not more than 2 per
cent of their assessed valuation for the
construction of roads. The first meas
ure on the state ballot amends this
paction of the constitution, raising the
Police Battle With Mob for Half-
Hour Before Order Restored.
LETHBRIDGE, Alta, May 30. (De-
layed.) Strike riots occurred here to
day when striking coal miners at
tacked a train carrying English-speaking
miners home from the municipal
mine at Gait, near here, where they had
been doing a small amount of work
to keep the mine in condition during
the strike. The attacked miners did
not join the strikers when the walk
out was called several days ago.
wnen the men left early today for
the mine strikers attacked the train
and broke windows. Police were at the
depot when the train returned tonight.
One striker threw a rock throueh a
coach window. The police fell upon
the crowd of strikers with drawn
clubs and a half-hour fight followed.
Several strikers and policemen were in
jured. The man who threw the rock
was arrested. The miners later threat
ened to tear up the railroad tracks.
MEDICINE HAT. Alta.. May 31.
Lmon men of Medicine Hat have voted,
it was said today, to walk out on a
general strike next Monday If the
Winnipeg strike is not settled by that
time. uivic employes voted against
the strike.

ors, both civic and official, continued
their efforts today to bring a,out
