LABOR LEADERS
IN BAD PLIGHT
Shea and Others May Have to Stand
Trial for Murder.
LAW COVERS THEIR CASE
STATEMENT OF STATES ATTOR-
NEY HEAIY.

CHICAGO. June 17-Admission is
Il made by States Attorney HeaIy
that the grand jurors have
found important : evidence appar-
emily corroborating the report that
the strike is partly, at least
the result of a conspiracy directed
against the firm of Montgomery. Ward
& Co. by other employers and by labor
leaders involving the payment of $50
o09 in instaIIments Of $4,000 and SEQ
600. If an indictment is voted "a 4
result the alleged conspirators are like
" to be charged with being responsible
for one or more murders growing out
of attacks of sO-caIled ''wreckinc
crews"
Responsible for Riots.
The law holds that when persons
enter INTO a conspiracy to do an Illegal
act, they are responsible for everything
following the initial plot and that all
can be held for the acts of one even
though they may have no knowledge
of what the cOnspiTatcrs are doing or
have done.
A demand for the settlement of the
teamsters' strike is expected to be
framed before night at a meeting of
anti-Shea delegates in the teamsters'
joint council
Several leaders of the drivers are
alleged to have broken away from the
strike leader. President Shea. and ar
ranged a caucus at which they plan to
canvass the situation and secure
pledges enough for the calling off of the
strike and 10 so before the teamsters'
joint council Monday with assurances

Decision Is Important.

Decision Is Important.
The government is completely vic
torious IN its contention, except that
the books which are to be produced
under the courts order shall not pass
out of the possession Of the defendant
Possessing the power to examine the
books of any corporation to learn its
innernlOst secrets and compel answers
from officials 10 all reveIant questions
viii be sli-important in future prOsecu-
tons of trusts as well as in the case at
hand The objection of iTrelevancy was
raised so frequently that the examina-
ton almost ceased to make progress
save for information which the prose-
eUtiOn had succeeded in getting from
other sources, and the court was finally
asked to make the defendants answer
and produce books showing the profits
mae, the expenses of the corporation
the manner of its objection and the
like. In his ruling Judge Seaman said:
Can Be No Dodging.
While the inquiry whether the mat
ter sought Is in any sense relevant to
the controversy may arise in applica-
lions of this nature, the Importance of
a question must be very plain to Justify
refusal TO answer before the examiner
and the ordinary tests of materially
are not applicable.
Objections are to be preserved. but
the materially is for consideration by
the trial court and not the examiner:
and the court from which the subpoena
issues will rarely pass upon such OBJ

tainly not when fairly debatable The
objections which are thus brought do
not impress me Is entitled to considera-
ton IN detail on the present appIica-
tIon and viii be treated as overruled
upon the grounds stated.
Amnesty Provision.
The test TO be applied is whether the
immunity or amnesty granted under
the act Of congress in question is as
broad as the privilege granted under
the constitution. As the amnesty prov
lsIon in the act Is identical with the
Ike provision in the Interstate COM
merce act, I am constrained to rule
that the immunity is sufficient to re-
move the privilege. The contention
that the provision of the Interstate act
which makes the giving of testimony
compulsory mot appearing in the anti
trust acO diffeTentiates its cOnstruc-
ton, SeSps 10 me without force, as
that provision merely imposes the duty
10 testify before a nOn-judicial pro-
ceeGIng arises both with common law
and under the general statutes. Under
the decisions referred to the court is
not at liberty to consider the interests
OF witnesses as constituents by way of
limitation of privilege or immunity"

Main street. where, interested in
curios, he stopped in front of the win

The purchase quickly followed, and
Tufts will today mail the paper to his
old father residing in the Bay state.

his red jacket to the Flagstaff of Louis
burg fort when the city of Louisburg
fell into the hands of the French over a
century ago.

other things contains an account Of the

Tufts yesterday, 'is merely at the in
stigation of German manufacturers in
retaliation for the American invasion
of the German home markets.
German and English merchants are
supreme in the eastern markets and, If
possible, they are going to hold their

full in fostering trade. They will have

Americans refuse to give what the
fasteners want. The Germans and
English do. They prepare their goods
in a manner which gives them a ready
sale The American goes on the prin-
ciple of forcing his customers to take
his products in the way he desires to
make them. This plan will not work.
The moment the American becomes ag-
