a WITNESS IN CONTEMPT.
Mr.. Scott Refuses to Answer Questions

Mr.. Scott Refuses to Answer Questions
of the Wheat Investigation COMMITTEES.
ST. PAUL, June 1S.-The elevator in
ve%stigation opened it's morning session
with Witness Scott on the rack. He
was under a cross fire from Lawyer Sew
erance, and went through a sever
sweating process while he corrected and
changed his direct testimony.
Scott admitted several times that he
had told untruths when he was formerly
examined. Step by step he was led
along the fatal admission of his direct
testimony until the witness. becoming
desperate, cried out, v%ehemently:
II will not answer these questions any
further, and l want to say to this COM
mittee right now that this matter should
not be gone into because it concerns my
private affairs, and 1 do not care to
answer any further"
This created a ripple of suppressed ex-
citement, and the appeal of the witness
to the committee occasioned some dis
cussion among the members. Mr.. Bar
rett could not see the use Of going
into the matter at greater length at this
time. Chairman Giessel was inclined
to coincide with this view, but John
Day Smith insisted that the witness who
had been brought before this committee
for the purpose of showing ~irregularity
and violations of the law Oh the part of
certain citizens of the state should be
compelled to answer all questions put
to him. The question which Scott re-
fused to answer referred to his w
sation with Nj. Irons about the reasons
why he wanted to leave, in fact was
compelled to leave, st. Paul.
Continuing his refusal the witness
vas placed under arrest for contempt.

A STORM THREATENED.
The Brewery Workmen Divided Against
Themselves.

The Brewery Workmen Divided Against
Themselves.
A the meeting of Local Union No. 16, of
the National Brewery Workmen, letter
was received from the National Secretary
in New York stating that he had inter
viewed the representative officials of the
national executive bodies of the bakers,
carpenters, furniture-workers, coopers,
printers and cigar-makers in regard to the
action that their subordinate unions in San
Francisco should take toward the National
Brewery Union, No. Is.
They are determined to uphold the de-
cision of the Detroit Convention regarding
the suspension of the Council of Federated
Trades of the Pacific Coast, on account of
the differences between the National Brew
erS and the Pacific Coast Association, and
every national and international union
represented in said council is thus compelled
to support the present National Brewers
Union, No Ii, OF San Francisco.
The members of this union are confident
of the support of the national bodies, and
so feeling passed resolutions condemning
Alfred Thurman and his methods, and de-
claTing that the opposition against him is in
his being retained in the Brewers Union.
The unions of this city are being appealed
10 to investigate the National Brewers
cause, and the Pacific Coast union IS for the
sake of unity requested to drop the General
Secretary and thus again join the national
organization, to become once more link in
the chain of the labor movement, free from
the stigma of q scab union.

There is a general and very strong feelihs

Coast associations want full nominations
made TO their events this year they must re-
duce the heretofore demanded entrance lees
of 10 per cent. The record of the past has
been that the association has made the
money, while the owners, trainers and
drivers have only had the cold glory, What
is now asked is that the entrance fees will
be reduced to. if not ., at least 715 per cent.
The policy Of 81 live and let live" would
prove a more remuneratve policy to the
associations than that of gobbling every
thing in sight. The large number OF fast
stations in California suggests the idea that
races for stations of the 2:I7 class would
prove most attractive all through the cir
cult, and would draw large entries and good
starting fields.
