NEW YORK, Jan. :M.—Mayor
Mitehel has issued orders to Police
Commissioner McKay to clean up the
East Side of all gunmen and gangs
of thugs, and hundreds of police, de
tectives and plainclothes men are now
hunting for members of the gangs
which infest the East and West sides
of the city in the tenement districts.
The police, however, are unable to
locate any of the members of the
gangs, some having temporarily left
the city and others are in hiding in
places where even the police dare not
or cannot find them.
The mayor issued the order follow
ing the battle yesterday between the
police and the gang of gunmen. Hard
ly a week has passed in the last three
months when the gangs have not had
a battle with police or among them
selves. "the gangs have in many
cases hired out as gunmen in the
strikes on the East Side sweat shops
and have had frequent clashes with
the strikers who were picketing the
shops.
Tfie gunmen employed by the op
erators' booS drove the strikers away
and in mhny instances killing thein.

ILL INVESTIG' E
CAUSE OF STRIKE
“ I
House Caucus Agrees That Conditions J
in Michigan and Colorado
Will be Probed
— i
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The
Democratic caucus |of members of
the House yesterday decided that a
congressional investigation of the
conditions of strikers in the Michi
gan copper fields and of the coal
miners in Colorado shall be had and
also the cause of the strike will be
fully gone into.
It is claimed that the profits of the
Calumet and Heela mine are exorbi -
tant and that the men are underpaid
and robbed by a system of company
stores and company houses, so that at
the end of the month the men and
their families have nothing. The strike
in the Calumet copper fields has been
on for many months, the operators
refusing to recognize the Western
Federation of Labor. All other differ
ences between the men and the com
pany can be adjusted, but on this both
s.ides are determined.
The state trofips in Colorado and
Michigan have taken possession of
the districts and mattlal iaW has been
established. The miners and families
have been forced from the company
houses in Colorado and affe liVibjj in
tents. ' " " '
