Cincinnati, Oct. 15.-Starding room
was in demand in the United States
district court room on the second day
Of the trial of Miller and Johns for
conspiracy and bribery in connection
with the recently exposed postal
frauds. Nine witnesses were examined
and the government has four more to

Of the private secretaries Of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
and of General Robb of interviews
with Miller were introduced as evil
dence.
Testimony Broke the Monotony.
The monotony of the trial was very
much broken when Watson testified.
He said he was the private secretary
to Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral | rist0w, and told of the letters
department. Finally Assistant District
Attorney Darby asked him to describe
what took place In the Office of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Brist0w
on May II, when General Robb and
Chief Inspector Cochran Lad an inter
view with Miller. He said he was
seated ON a bundle of old newspapers
in the corner taking full stenograplic
notes on his knee as Miller talked.
Then Watson proceeded to read to the
court from those original notes and
occupied an hour ard half in doing
so.

The first question propounded toMil-
Ter was by General Robb when he
said: Mr.. Cochran and have an un-

you had better talk the matter over.
You are a lawyer, and it is unneces-

Miller Denies That He Was Paid for

Miller said he would explain what
ever he could. and then he was inter-
rogated In regard to his old friend,
Joseph M. Johns, and his connection
with him from the beginning of the
case to the end. When Robb and
Cochran showed him the reports, also
copies of letters and kilograms, indi-
eating that he had sent the ruling of
and wired him that the same had been
seat, Miller admitted that he had writ
ten a letter to Johns, and that it was
in his own handwriting, and not die
tated as other letters in the official cor
respondence of the department.
Then Watson proceeded to road from
his steEographic notes a question by
General Robb as to whether Ryan had
turned over 81, 800 to Johns on the
same day that the latter got the rul-
ing from Miller. Miller denied any
knowledge of that transaction, and in
sisted that he had never received di-
rectly or Indirectly a cent for any
copy of a ruling or any information
regarding the same. He declared to

testified to a second interview at which
the same parties were present except
that his secretary, Tullis took the
place OF Watson as stenographer, in
an unconcealed position. In this Sec

TALKSFOR EXCLUSION
President Mithcell, of the U. M.
W., Addresses tho National
Civic Federation.
lie FAv0Rs THE CLOSED SHOP"
Has q Poor Opinion of Non-Union
Men and Especially Of the
sStrike Breaker"

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Discussion Of the
question of the "open shop" by repre-
sentatives of labor and Of capital took
up the greater part of the first session
Of the National Civic Federation con-
ference, which Is endeavoring to estab-
lish more rightful relations between
employers and employees and to end
strife. Various phases Of the matter
of freedom of employment which is
aow agitating the Industrial world
were presented by interested persons.
The discussion will be continued to-
day, when it will become general.
John MitchelI's Views Given.
During his talk OF "open shop" John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, strongly denounced the nom
unionist and the strike breaker, whom
he likened to a criminal. In opposing
the "open shop" he said: by refusal
to work with non-union men labor or
CARNATIONS occasionally excite acute
irritation among employers and invite
grave criticisms from the press and
public.
Presents His Justification. "
''To refuse to work with non-union
men is no greater and to no less extent
compulsion than for a life or fire in
surance company to refuse certain
classes Of people, or for any aSS0cia-
der which 1t will have dealings with
certain persons. The compulsion ex-
erted by unions, whether toward nom
unionists or employers, must be judged
upon its merits, and must not be de-
cried merely because of it's compul-
sion.
Strike Breaker a Criminal.
"The majority of non-unionists are
not malicious, only at the worst stupid
anu apathetic. However, there is one
group of non-unionists. the profession
al strike breakers, but little removed
from the criminal classes. l do not
mean to say that every strike breaker
Is a criminal. Some of these profess
sional strike breakers are former un-
ionists, men who have been dishonor-
ably discharged from the union cash
tered for conduct that is unbecom-
ing unionist, If not actually indicted
for defalcations or other offenses
against the law. Others have never
been in a union and have never been
defiled or contaminated by work.
Exclusion Has Come to Stay.
"With the progress of trades unions
and their growth in strength there will
probably be lessening in the intensity
of feeling against the non-unionist, but
no lessening in the policy Of exclusion.
In conclusion, believe that trade I'M
ions have perfect legal and moral
right to exclude non-unionists, but
that this right shall be exercised with
the utmost care and only after persua-
sion has been tried and failed"

Indianapolis, Oct. 17.--That q large
corporation might as we'll be soulless
is argued from the troubles of the New
American Oil and Refining company,
Christian basis. The jury in superior
court Is now considering the guilt or
innocence of s. Arthur Scott, of Bluff
ton, former secretary of the company,
against whom suit was brought on his
bond and whose case has occupied the
last several days in that court. Ac-
cOrding to the evidence In the case,
Scott, who is young, came to Indianap-
oils In 1899 for the purpose of organ
izing a company to develop the Wells
county oil field. He organized IT all
right, and the stockholders were near
ly all Baptists.
Ran 1t on Religious Principles.
AS shown by the minutes of the
meetings of the stockholders, peculiar
business methods were pursued by
the religious capitalists. To begin
with. it was made part of the char
ter that one-tenth Of all profits of the
company should be devoted to benevO-
lent purposes. Each meeting of the
board of directors and of the stock
holders was opened with prayer, and
on one occasion the question of drill
ing new well was considered during
whole morning without q definite
decision Adjournment was therefore
taken Until p. m. and during the
interium each stakeholder prayed for
instruction The result of the prayer
was unanimous vote for the drilling
of the we'll.
Prayer That Availed Not.
The result of this operation is told
very briefly. In subsequent meet
ing the minutes were made to read:

1t is to collect the title that the
suit is brought and In the cause of the
bearing it was told how young Scott
had confessed at meeting of the d.
rectors in October, 1900, that he had
forged pipe line receipts to show that
the company was doing q great bust
ness.
