to plead to two indictments charging him with

and refused to answer any questions. His coun-
sci. Lawyer Lorenzo Semple. protested that the
court had no jurisdiction. Thon Judge Fitz.
gerald directed tho clerk to enter a plea of not
guilty upon each Indictment. When this had
been done, LAWYER Semple asked Judge Fitz-
gerald to fix bail mt $4,000.
District Attorney Gardiner said that It would
be ridiculous to fix the bail at such a small
amount. especially after tho county had zone TO
the expense OF bringing. Foster back from
France. II bail were fixed at $4,000 Foster
might take n notion to disappear again. The
Colonel asked the court TO make the amount

to them were answered freely. Secretary Nc

Crime of the Min Firemen's Union were OK
amined. They gave their opinions on various
matters pertaining to the hours OF labor,
cost Of production, the effect of Southern com.
petition, and the need of national labor laws.
They commended that there was a need of even
shorter hours in the mills, but they admitted
that it would be unfair to compel the manufac-
turers Of Massachusetts, to submit to further
legislation.until q move in this direction is made
in every cotton manufacturing district. They
commended. however, that since the enactment
of tho fifty eight-hour law machinery has been
spceded much higher than before, and that as a
result the operatives are turning OF as much
cloth as they did before the law went into effect.

much to do with the condition OF things. Mr..
