Cardigan and at last succeeded in having his

A TIMELY EXPOSURE,

Judge Trout VIII Put a Closer Watch
on pulls" Hereafter.
The news published exclusively in THE
CALL on Wednesday, showing the power of
the "pull" in securing liberty to criminals
without trial or punishment, will have a
most salutary effect in stopping that sort Of
work in future. Judge Trout declares that
hereafter no case shall be dismissed in his
court until he has personally familiarIzed
himself with its nature and is satisfied that
there is no reasonable chance of conviction.
He expresses himself as very grateful to
The CALL for its exposure, and thinks it
will be the means of checking the corrupt
methods employed to evade punishment fer
crime. The same sentiment is expressed in
the District Attorneys office.
In the article referred TO the statement
was made that Clerk McComb's court
record had been mutilated to conceal the
last entry Of the case in point. A close ex-
animation of the record shows that such is
not the fact. The figures in question in
stead of having been erased were never en-
tered on the index.

Waterfront Dealers in Chinese Weeds
Coerced.
When the agitation against Chinese-made
cigars subsidized one year ago many of the
waterfront dealers began to return to the
old way of doing business, and the cheap
and nasty products of the Chinatown
factories were again placed before poor Jack.
The Cigar-makerS' Union obtained in
formation of the state of affairs a short time
ago, and realizing that nothing short Of con-
slant agitation would drive out the Mon
g0ian product induced the Coast Seamen's
Union TO send out committee TO scour tic
front, with a view to giving the dealers in
cigars TO understand that if they did not
patroniZe white labor white labOTerS would
not patTOniZe them.
The committee made its mission a pro-
nOunced success. It found many dealers
whose boxes of cigars did not bear the
whlte-labor stamp and induced them TO
change their brands, 50 that union labOTerS
will patrOnize them hereafter.
The Cigar-makers' Union has had en-
larged fac-similes OF the white-labor STAMP
printed TO be hung in the meeting-roOm of
every labor union in the city.
