Mr.. Mitchell in opposing the open
Shop" said in part:
by a refusal to work with nOn-uniOn
men. labor organizations occasionally
excite acute irritation among employees
and invite great criticism from press
and public. To refuse to work with
non-union men is to no greater and to
no less extent cOmpulSion than for a
life or fire insurance company to refuse
certain classes Of risks, for a church to
refuse membership to certain classes Of
people, or for any association Whatso-
ever to set conditions under which it
will have dealings with certain persons.
THE majority of nOn-unioniSts are
not malicious, only at the worst stupid
and aDathetic. However. there is one
group of non-uniOnistS, the professional
strike breakers, but little removed from
the criminal classes [ do not mean to
say that every strike breaker is a
criminal. Some of these professional
strike breakers are former unionistS

LEWIS NIXON WILL TESTIFY
IN INVESTIGATION INTO THE L. s.
SHIPBUILDING COuBINE.
At the proceedings Yesterday. the
Young men Who Are. ,..-.. of
Being dummy" Directors Ware
Called on the Gr:i-.,t

New York. October 15.-Tne entire
time al todays hearing OF the United
States Shipbuilding Company inVestiga-
tion before Referee Oliphant. was given
UP to the taking of testimony covering
the incorporation and organization OF
Seward, Horace Gould and Kenneth
Mclean, young men connected with the
Corporation Trust Company of New
Jersey, who acted either as incorpora-
tors or directors of the Shipbuilding
combination We're called to the stand
and examined at length as to the cir
cumstanceS under which they served
the promoters of the enterprise.
Frederic Seward, who had served as
a director, was questioned for three
hours, the inquiry covering his connec-
ton with the company from the time
Alexander and Green asked him to serve
as a director until he resigned, when
the permanent officers were elected. His
stay on the stand was prolonged be-
cause he would not admit that he was
a mere dummy acting under the or
ders Of the counsel of the company.
He held that he had used his indepen-
dent judgment in voting on the many
important questions determined by the
directorate when he. Louis Daley and
Harold Newman, of the Corporation
Trust Company, were the three MEM
bers of it.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
bondholders, questioned him at length
with the object of showing that he had
Il
he'd, that he knew nothing of the value
Of the properties acquired by the votes
of himself and his associates, and that
everything done by the directorate was
at the instance of counsel and tn mere
formal carrying out Of orders. Seward
admitted that he did not know the loca-
ton Of the plant nor the character Of
the business of the Harlan Holings-
worth Company, Moore & Sons, and
the Canada Company, and said that he
was under the impression that the Beth
lehem plant was located at Homestead.
Seward and the other temporary di-
rectorS acted upon the increase in the
capital stock of the company from 49,
600 to $45, 200, 900, voted for the issuance
of securities to the amount of $71 100000
and decided other matters of Importance
and the testimony of today indicates
an intention to attack the validity of
all those transactions.
1t is claimed that the original direc-
tors were simply dummies and that
while the forms of the law were closely
followed at all of the meetings, none of
the directors was properly a holder Of
stock and that none of their acts was
of legal value.
The hearing went over until next
Wednesday, October 21, when Lewis
Nixon will take the stand. He was
sworn at the close of the hearing today
but did not give any testimony.

jurors got no sleep at all during the
twenty hours they were locked up.
The count in the indictment charg-
ing the carrying of concealed weapons
was not considered, consequently the
charge went without action. After the
verdict was announced, the clerk held
up the pistols and offered them to the
defendant who waived his hand. say
ing: Thev are not mine''
This was the first case In which Mr..
Gary has presided as a judge and it
was with a sigh of relief that he heard
the verdict rendered in a case of such
great Importance, and one in which so
much was required of the one sitting
on the bench
With the elimination Of the Tihman
trial the court house was soon va
Gated.
An an indication of the deep interest
manifested in this trial, locally and
abroad, it need onl-- be said that it
required some eight or ten telegraph
wires to accommodate the newspaper
correspondents.
The trial ended just eighteen days
from the day the jury was drawn. and
court was in sessio thirteen days out
of that time. with the addition of the
short time consumed this morning in
receiving the report of the jury and
in going through the brief legal formal
tiles closing up the case.
Mr.. Tillman, after his acquittal
made the following statement to the
Associated Press: Il feel very CRATE
full at the result Of the verdict. but
at no time did I apprehend any serious
consequences. I, of course, deeplv re-
gret the death of Mr.. Gonzales, but
I was forced to do what 1 did. l have
never apprehended a conviction, for
I felt that I did no more than any
man would have done under the same
circumstances and what I was COM
PEELED to do. My position was fully
stated in the testimony I gave on the
stand. II did ask for a change
of venue because I was convinced on
account Of prejudice in Richland coun-
ty, that I could not get a fair and
impartial trial in that county. I felt
sure that as soon as my cause could
be presented to an impartial jury, /
could be vindicated. The verdict has
justified the correctness of my judg-
ment. Lexington county was selected
by the prosecution. It's people are
law-abiding and have long been noted
for the correctness of their verdicts
and have been praised by the press"
