having failed, the case was resumed
today, and taking of evidence COM
menced. The first witness was Louis
C. Krauthoff, of New York, formerly
general counsel for Armour & Co. He
was placed on the stand to narrate his
interview with Commissioners of Cor
porations Garfield in Chicago, April 1S,
last, when, the packers allege, Garfield
said certain things. the import OF
which was, that if he received the in
formation for which he asked, the
packers should never be prosecuted
criminally.
Krauthoff testified that he had ad-
vised his clients as to the powers OF
the commissioner to compel testimony
under the Martin resolution, and said
he told them to comply with Garfield
reouirements Krauthoff related, at
length. the meeting with Garfield, at
which the latter explained the kind OF
information he was seeking, and how
he intended to obtain it. I asked

to be protected in case of dishonest
special agents. He assured me OF this

law. the source of his information be-
ing a secret 1 asked him about some
of this information getting to the
newspapers and even to the depart

no apprehensions on that subject. I
then asked what use the president OF
the United States wished to make OF
the information. He answered with
emphasis that of course, the president
of a great nation would not allow
anything to happen to which anyone
could take exception. He further safd
that where figures and data came from

necessary, but if anything came UP

EXPRESS AGENT FINED
Grinnell Boy Succeeds in Getting Liq-
uor Shipped in and County Author
tiles Begin Proceedings Against the
Agent Of the Express Company
Fine Of $50 Assessed.

Special to Times-Republlcan.
Grinnell, Jan. &c. B. Bryan, agent
of the Adams Express Company, here
was today fined $50 and costs for sell
ing liquor. The case was tried In JUS
tice Bryan's court and attracted con-
siderable attention from the fact that
it has been suspected for some time
that considerable traffic of the kind
was being carried on in the same man
ner. The facts in the case as de-
yeloped in the trial today were that
Merrill Quire, a boy under Is years OF
age went to Agent Bryan last week
and said he wanted to get some VINE.
1t was claimed by the prosecution that
the agent told Quire he (the agenD
could get the wine for him and asked
him what firm he should order 1t
from. The boy said he did not care
particularly, but suggested the name
of one firm that Bryan said he could
do better with than some other con-
cenr. The boy got the wine the latter
mart of the week. The contention Of
the defense was that the agent passed
the order on to regular agent here;
that he did not send the order In and
that as agent of the company he was
compelled to handla the goods. The
case was tried before a jury which re-
turned a verdict of guilty and the JUS
tice assessed fine of $50 and costs.
1t is likely that the case will be ap-
pealed to the court.
County Attorney Rayburn has been
watching an opportunity to take some
action. as It has been claimed that
the business had been growing to an
alarming extent as was shown by the
case wherein a 16-year-old boy was
able to get liquor when he desired It

Entire Building Industry May
Be Tied Up by Structural
Steel Workers
FEDERATION ASKED TO ACT
Plan to Call Out 10000 Men Belong
ina to the Central Federated Union
May Be Compelled to Repudiate
the Principle of Arbitration Which
They Have Upheld.

New York, Jan. ga strike en-
bracing 100000 men and involving the
entire building industry of New YORK,
is now being eagerly aimed at by the
Structural Steel Workers of the city.
Such a desperate step is necessary,
they say, in order to preserve their
waning organization from complete
ruin as a result of the strike IN whlch
they have been engaged for the past
seven weeks. Delegates Of the House
smiths and Bridgemen's Union, which
embraces the Structural Steel Work
ers. prevailed on the Central Federated
Union Yesterday to order every labor
organization still at peace with their
employers to break those peaceful rela-
tions and ally themselves with the
strikers. If they fail to do so, they are
to be suspended from the Central Fed
Grated Union. The extraordinary stu
alton will be thus created. A large
number of labor unions, among them
ons and plasterers, are not only al
peace with the Building Trades En-
ployers' Association. but many of them
are represented on the joint board OF
arbitration, composed of both en-
ployers and workers. Should they
stick to the Structural Steel Workers,
they will not only have to strike but also
will have to withdraw from and in eff
feet repudiate the principle of arbitra- :
ton, which they have been upholding
Next Friday will decide the fate of the
proposed great strike On that
day the organizations which
are at work are to ap-
pear before the Central Federated I'm
ion and answer how they stand
whether for or against the strike
Samuel Gonpers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, is also
to be appealed to by the Structural
Steel Workers.

Ottumwa, Jan. 29.-A, hundred OF
tumwa travelling men met last night
and decided to organize an accident
insurance association. Jobbers and

new association.
Ottumwa, Jan. 29.-one hundred To-
cal travelling men met here to denounce
the Iowa State Travelling Mems Asso-
citation and to begin the laying of
plans for an Independent organization.
1t is understood that there is much
feeling over the methods used to de-
feat C. G. Porter in the recent election.
The object of the proposed new or
ganization is to make it so that mer-
chants, clerks and other business men
may come in and share the benefits of
accident insurance the same as the
travelling man, but the travelling men
will have complete control.

COURT FINES UNION

Judge Holdom Assesses Heavy Fine
Against Striking Printers and DeIiv.
ers a Scathing Rebuke to Union,
Which, He Says, Openly Defied the
Courts Order.
Chicago, Jan 29.-President Edwin
E. Wright, of Typographical Union
No. 16, was today fined by Judge Hol-
dom of the superior court 500 and
sentenced to thirty days in Jail for
contempt of court.
Edward Bessette, member Of the
union, was fined $50 and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail. The union itself was
fined $1,000. The charge against the
union and it's members was the viola
ton of an injunction granted some
weeks ago, by which the members of
the union were enjoined from interfer
ing in any manner with the operation
of printing establishments operated by
members Of the Chicago Typothetae.
In announcing his decision the judge
said: ut cannot be tolerated that any
class, condition or combination Of men
can show their hostility to this court,
and hout it's judgment, and in open
meeting express their contempt for the
order and the judge, who We're mere
ly an instrument Of the law. as has
been done in this case. 1t is not a
question of whether the injunction is
right or wrong. That will be decided
by the upper court but while it is in
force and effect, it must be obeyed. In
this case, it has not been technical
violation of the injunction, but a per-
sistent one, and utter disregard for the
order of the court. If this court cannot
be upheld then the government is a
fraud
Before the announcement Of the de-
cision, counsel for the union asked
leave to file an affidavit signed by sixty
members of the union, which staE.d
that they were opposed to violence In
any form in connection with the strike.
Attorneys for the typothetae objected
to the admission of this, but 1t was all
lowed by the court to go into record.
