Mr. SHAFFER. PRESIDENT OF the Anal
gamated Association, although once a
preacher aod presumably taught the
sscreiness of pledges, oa,hs and obliga-
tions, now instruots his constituents
that the contracts into which they have
entered With the companies employing
them are voidsble at will because Of
their prior and superior obligations to
the association, Before you sgreed to
any contracts with your employers"
he tells them, 'you took an obligation
to the Amalgsmated Association" And
80, at the demand of that association,
they must repudiate those contracts.
According to that principle, the con-
tract made by a member Of that asso-
citation would not be worth the paper
1t was written upon. For what is q
mans oath worth il he is free to break
IL at the word of some other? From
time immemorisl the Integrity OF oath 8
and contracts hss been recognized as
one OF the foundation stones Of social
order. There is no more positive pro-
vision Of the constitution Of the United
States than that forbidding the making
OF any law impairing the validity of
contracts. The Illinois Steel Com
pany's men and many others, it appears
by today's dispatches, are not willing
to break their contracts with their EN-.
ployers and have therefore refused to
obey Mr.. Skaters order to strike.

Hotel. in this city. Mr.. Tobin paid al
but about $500 and refused to pay any
more on the ground that the value Of
the property had been misrepressnted
to him. The attorney for the brewing
company on Saturday moved that
judgment be given under rule OF the
court, on the ground that the answer oi
MIR. Tobin did not give sufficient reason
for not granting judgment. Justice
Clabaugh overruled the motion on the

Bert Starr Turned Loose and the
Guilty Man Still at LARGE.

In the trial of the case against Bert
Starr. at Socorro yesterday, 1t was
proven by witnesses for the defense
that the man under arrest was not q
party to the crime with which he
was charged, and was in consequence
OF his acquittal set at liberty 500 miles
from home and no transportation sup
piled him. Bert Starr. who was under
arrest, Is q mining man from Octave.
Arizona, and when taken In charge by
an officer was patient In the hospital
at Congress, Arizona, as the result OF
an accidental discharge OF his own
rifle while travelling In Arizona In
specting mining properties. When the
man was first brought to Albuquerque
by the deputy from Arizona, his name
was chronicled in the press as Bert
Starr, alias Jack Davis. II now trans
pires the party Is named Bert Starr
and had no alias, the error as to that
growing out of the fact that one OF
the gang who robbed the Graham
postoiilce assumed the name OF Bert
Starr as an alias and when the OFF,
GERS arrested the real Bert Starr,
knowing that to be his proper name,
the natural inference was that he
being the proper man, any other name
under which the robber travelled was
an alias. The Citizen Is glad to set
this matter right and counteract any
injustice that may have been done
an innocent man.
