STRIKERS HEARING BEGINS
Testimony Taken from shop Employees
Seems to BE Rather In
definite.

Hearing Of testimony In the case Of the
attachment against Union Pacific strikers,
charging certain Of the latter with viola
lions of the federal court injunction, was
begun before Judge Munger in the federal
court yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
the case having been postponed over two
weeks. -Four witnesses were examined
All OF these were strike breakers employed
in the Union Pacific shops. There is an
army Of witnesses to testify and, as a
large number Of them are unable to readily
understand the language, there is every
indication that the hearing may be pro-
longed indefinitely. John N. Baldwin, who
is conducting the railroads side Of the az
fair, said he hoped to get through with
the witnesses in two days. c. J. Smyth Of
Smyth q Smith, attorneys for the strikers,
was in charge of the latter's interests yes
terday.
The FIRST witness yesterday was Joseph
Firth, a blacksmith at the shops, who had
worked there before the strike and is still
employed. He lives at 1919 Webster street.
He swore that on the night Of November
II William Richelieu, with other strikers,
accosted him In front Of his door and that
Richelieu applied some epithets to him.
There was no violence, but the prosecution
attempted to show that the p~rofane Ian
guage which Richelieu was said to have
used seriously disturbed two members Of
Firth's family who were sick and also his
wife.
James L. Silver, 115 South Nineteenth
street, elevator operator at Union Pacific
general Offices, practically corroborated
what Firth had said. Silver had been at
Firth's house that night to see how his
sick children were getting along.
Fred Thielman, who boards at 318 North
Fifteenth street, said he came from Ger
many eight months ago and began work in
the Union Pacific shops since the outbreak
of this strike. He told the court that on
the night of November II three men, whom
he did not know, but who were sup
posed to be strikers, one of whom he
thought might possibly have been William
Richelieu, met him on Cass street between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth and INDUCED in
some threatening talk. He told the men
he and the three fellows with him hal
quit the shops and were going to their
home in Chicago and then told the court
that he was not telling the truth, but did
this to deceive the men who had accosted
him and his comrades.
The last witness was Mekolos Fischer,
who rooms at 400 North Nineteenth street
and eats at the Union Pacific boarding
house. He had been in the United States
two years and at the Union Pacific shops
since July. He claimed to have met Will
liam Richelieu on November 10 at night.
He said Richelieu was accompanied by
others and that someone in the crowd ex-
pressed a desire to penetrate his Uranium
with a bullet. He was not exactly sure OF
the author of this remark, which he
averred had a very stimulating effect upon
his nervous system. There was no escape
of stray bullets, however, or any other
form Of violence and finally the two squads
separated.
The hearing was continued until . O'Clock
this morning. 4.N1t b..

WRIGHT WANTS CHEAP SUGAR
Urges Senate Committee to Reduce Tariff
on Filipino Product
PRESENT DUTIES CALLED pRoHIBrTIvE
Governor Holds Best way to
Paeify Islanders f. to Establish
Close Trade Relations
with Them.

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-Luke z. Wright
appeared before the senate committee on
the Philippines today and urged the pass.
age of the bill reducing the duty on Phil
ippine goods to this country to IS per cent
of the Dingley rates.
He also thought Chinese laborers should
be allowed to enter the islands and sup
ported the bill for reform in the Philippine
currency.
In his opinion. the tariff OF rs per cent
really amounted to a prohibition. He
pleaded for larger and more liberal trade
relations with the islands and said ships
bringing sugar and tobacco TO this coun-
try should take back American products.
Senators Burrows and Dietrich chal-
lenged his statement and said the imports
Of sugar since 1900 had increased steadily.
MIR. Wright replied that the amount was
a mere bagatelle compared to the produc-
ton.
"As a mere matter Of sentiment" said
he, Il think there is hardly anything con-
gress could do that would have such a
fine effect on the Filipino as to establish
more intimate trade relations. It would
remove the impression that Americans are
there to exploit the islands and not give
them the benefit of American markets. The
possibilities Of sugar production in the
Philippines would be unlimited were the
importation Of Chinese labor permitted"
Replying to a question suggesting that 1t
would be better for the United States to
produce its own sugar and obvlate the
necessity of shipping it across the Pacific,
Mr.. Wright said as a Philippine commits
sioner he was bound to advance the inter-
ests Of the Philippine people.
Turning to the Philippine currency, he
urged authority for the commission to issue
temporary certificates Of Indebtedness re-
deemable in gold.
