Employees' Initiative.
Nothing plonsos an employer more
than to find that employoos havo been
useful and helpful in doing things that

tho spirit of inltlativo; it indicates the
ambition to got on, a willingness to
pay tho price. Tho progresslvo em
ployer has little uso for tho employee
who novor does anything ho is not told
to do. Originality, intentlvenesi, ro

PROTECT WORKERS' HOUSES
Colonel Mapes Declares That If tho
Evidence Collected Was Published
Sudden Termination of Steel
Strike Would Result.
Chicago, Oct. 30. -MnJ. Gon. Leonard
Wood, commanding thu central do
partmont of tho United Stntes army,
went to Gary nnd took personal charge
of tho rounding up of reds who nro
running way with tho btevl strike,
"I Indorse nil Colonel Mupos lina
told you," he said to tho newspnper
cotTi'spondonts. "This place Is n hot
bed of anarchy. I bellevo thnt tho
workliigmnn is loyal, but the red ele
ment has bvlzctl upon this strike situ
ation us n good place for tho open
ing wedge for tholr propaganda of vio
lence and destruction."
There hnve been many threats that
the wives and children of workers will
bo made to suffer If the men do not
Join the strikers. Also, complaints
were made to tho police that men
wearing musks and long robes have
stopped them In tho streets nt night
and threatened tllro things It they did
not strike nt once.
The reply of Colonel Mnpes to theso
tactics was u series of raids on red
houses, shops and poolrooms. Forty
two places were raided at night and
18 men nrrested, of whom 10 nro In
jail, marked "hold for the military."
Colonel Mnpos says they will bo bent
to Itullannpolls nnd deported. All are
alien rods.
The raids were renewed. Tho sol
diers hognn making their descents on
the places marked ns hiding places of
radicals. It Is tho beginning of u
definite nnd determined campaign to
put tho reds out of business.
"If the evldonoo we collected In raids
were revealed," said Colonel Mnpes,
"tho sudden termination of tho steel
strike would be tho result."
Colonel Mapes refused io reveal thu
evidence.
The natural Inference Is thnt the
military has found documentary evi
dence tho strlko wns brought about
by tho same radical element which a
few days ago circulated handbills call
ing ontho "workers" to overthrow tho
United' Stntes'nrmy and seize tho gov
ernment. GERMANS HURL GAS AT RIGA
