A feature of this calculation is the
belief that the Bryanites would not

No state election of this year will

The perfecting of the inland

use of the Panama canal for the

For the Lake Erie and Ohio
river ship canal to work the
changes in freight transportation
claimed for it, the Ohio must, of
course, be improved SO that there

This will probably be done be-
fore the ship canal is completed.
The ship canal is to be built
by private capital. The FEAST

who assisted Orchard IN his awful
work. Another member of the
order supposed to have belonged
to the so. called Inner Circle, L. j..
Simpkins, has been indicted, but
is fugitive. The man who Sc
cured the confession from Or
chard is the famous detective
James Mcfarland, who unearthed
the crime of the Molly Maguires.
Adams has confessed, because,
he says, he feared being made a
scapegoat Whether these &C
cused members Of the Inner Cir
Gle of the Federation of Miners
are guilty or not, this fact is
positive there has existed a con.
spiracy to murder ovenors,
judges, mine owners, sheriff, and
others who espoused the cause of
non union labor in the last ten
years in the mining regions of
the Rocky Mountains, from Can
ada to Mexico. Men have been
murdered, and marked for MUIR
der, for this offence Some man
or set of men, have conspired to
do this. The murders have been
committed. I h prosecution
will seek to show that leaders or
members of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners had motive for
these crimes.
Note the extent and setting of
the conspiracies. In the | a t e
nineties, when Steunenberg was
Governor of Idaho, a strike of
miners occurred in the Occur
d'Alene district. Non. un o n
miners were brought in. A train
load of strikers went to Ward
ner, and dynamited the $500, 900
mill of the Bunker Hill and Sui
liyan mine. Roiting, arson, and
assaults followed to drive out
the non. union men. Steunen-
berg, to keep the peace and to
prevent anarcy, called out t h e
troops. More roits occurred. and
the leaders of union labor a n d
their followers to the number of
more than 800 were confined in
the famous "bull pen" in the
Observation-Disclosures justly or wisely
or not, has nothing to do with
the case. Union labor lost the
strike. Steunenberg did what
he considered his sworn duty to
the State, and retired to private
life, a respected and honored
citizen. He was a marked man
for his courage in office, and he
was killed on the evening Of De-
cember 30 last by a bomb plant
ed at his gate by Orchard, who
was, he says, to get $500 for the
job.
After the Occur d A | e II Q
troubles came the famous, Grip
pie Greek and Telluride strikes
in Colorado, brought about, like
the one in Idaho, by the Fedora
tion of Miners. That was lost,
too, at a terrible expence of blood
and outrage, and cost of mill
lions to the State of Colorado the

militia and their service in the

dynamiting, murder, assault al

FRANKLIN MATTHEWS

Laid at the Door of Organized Labor in the
Mining Region of the West.
MURDER VERY FREQUENTLY USED AS A LABOR WEAPON

A criminal trial which Us IN
many respects the most import
ant ever held in this country is
just beginning in the little town
of Caldwell, Idaho, where five
men are 10 be tired for murder
and conspiracy 10 murder. The
safety of free institutions is in.
volved to a greater extent than
was ever revealed by any Grim
Inal case in the land. The men
are on,trial, so far as the indIct
ment reads, for the assassination
of ex Governor Frank Steunen
berg of Idaho, a plain, honest
minded citizen, farmer, and
banker, solely for revenge, be-
cause Steunenberg, as Governor,
had done his sworn duty and dis
pleased the leaders of organized
labor.
But in reality, the men are on
trial for as dastardly and far
reaching a murder conspiracy as
any civilized country ever
knew-a conspiracy to kill, not
in the name Of liberty, nor TO rid
the earth of tyrannical rulers,
nor for loot nor plumber, such as
pirates and robber bands have
formed and carried out; a con-
spiracy not the outgrowth of
family or personal quarrels, such
as have characterized the Malta
along the Mediterranean and the
mountain feuds in this country {;
no such conspiracy as these, but
a conspiracy to murder by whole
sale those who have been guilty
of assisting, officially and other
wise, men to work when and
where and for whom they chose,
without the consent of organized
labor-in other words, a con-
spiracy to murder for industrial
reasons. And that in the land
of a free people,
The trial is to determine

of Pennsylvania, in the early
seventies. Moses around the
necks of eleven of the Mollies on
one day ended the career of that

SHIP CANAL
Will RevoIutionize Freight Rates,
and Connect the Ohio
WITH THE GREAT LAKES

| w dolluS vi, II. ". uuC -.
Under an act of Congress just
passed a company has been in
corporatei and empowered to ac-
quire a right of way, and to build
and operate canal. The canal
is to be built from point on the
Ohio river near Pittsburg to Lake
Erie, near Ashtabula, Ohio. 1t
will be subject to the SINE regu-
lations that apply to railways.
The main canal will be 100
miles long and not less than
twelve feet In depth. The great
lakes system of waterways is
now being connected by twelve
foot chanpel through New York
with Atlantic tide water.
The effort of the construction
of this canal upon the commerce
of the United States can hardly
be overestimated. By connect
ing the great lakes system with
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
and their tributaries it will form
the link between 5000 miles of
navigable waterways.
1t is safe to say that during
the session of 1905 there were
distributed by rail between Pitts
burg and Lake Erie ports about
so, 900, 200 tons Of freight.
The cost of transporting ore
from Duluth to Ashtabula, a dis
lance of 1000 miles, has during
the past ten years averaged about
eighty-two cents per ton, or eight
tenths of one mill per ton per
mile. The average cost of trans
lportating coal between the same
points has been thirty five cents
per ton, or about three-tenths of
one mill per ton per mile.
Coal is shipped from Pittsburg
to New Orleans by the Ohio river,
distance of 1900 miles, for
$1.35 per ton, empty boats re-
turned, or about six-tenths of
one mill per ton per mile.
The above figures show the
average cost of water transpor-
tation.
The average cost of transport
ing coal and ore by rail from
Pittsburg to Lake Erie is from
six to seven mills per ton per
mile, the distance being about
1876 miles and the rate ninty-nine
cents per ton. In addition to
this, there is transfer and dock
age charge of about fifteen cents
per ton, to which all Of these
commodities are subjected when
transported by rail where reshlp-
ment is necessary.
While a proportion of the COM
modities transported might re-
quire reshipment to Lake Erie
ports, the probabilities are that
a line of boats would be con-
structed which would be able to
loed coal on the Ohio river and
proceed directly to the lake ports
of the Northwest, and, in turn,
bring ore from these ports direct
ly to the furnaces along the Ohio
and Allegheny rivers without re-
shipment, saving deckage and
transfer charges.
Freight, it Is claimed, could
undoubtedly be carried from the
Ohio river to Lake Erie f 0 r
twenty cents a ton. The canal
tolls would amount to an adj
aitional twenty cents, and fifty
cents over rail freightrate would
be saved on every ton.
In addition to this, the tranfer
charges being eliminated, the
total saving would be slxty-fve
cents a ton, or $15, 250, 900 on an
estimated business of $4,000, 900
tons annually. The annual es-
timated income of the canal
would be, at twenty cents ton,

night. Orchard says he pulled
the string which set off l 0
pounds of dynamite beneath
them by order of the Inner Cir
Gle, the plot for which was hatch
ed in Haywond's room in Denver.
Superintendent Mccormick and
Foreman Buck of the Vlndica-
tor Mine went one night to the
sixth level and we're blown to
| pieces Orchard says he set the
bomb by order, but it was placed
on the wrong level. 1t wa S
planned TO put it on the seventh
level and kill fifteen or twenty
non union miners.
An assayer named M erri t t
VALLEY was killed by bomb in
Denver The bomb was intend
ed for Chef Justice Gabbert.
Arthur w. Collins, manager IF
the Smuggler- Union mine at Tel
luride, was shot in the b a C k !,
through the windows at his home.
Vincent st. John, also a snppos-
ed member Of the Inner Circle
and leader with Mover end
Haywood and Pettibone, is now
in jail awaiting trial for the
murder. j. W.. Barney, shift
boss, was killed near his home.
John Mahoney, a non-union
miner at Telluride, was shot to
death. Martin Gleason, mine
manager at Cripple Greek, out
spoken in his advocacy of nom
union labor, went to his grave
by assassination. Westley j.
Smith of Telluride, was kidnap.
ped and murdered. Six other
miners were killed mysteriously
In Telluride and their bodies
disposed of in a lime kiln. A
mining engineer named Bradley
was murdered by an explosion
in San Francisco while on his
honeymoon. Orchard says he
did it, as he did most of the
others, by orders from Meyer
and Haywood.
To establish an alibi for the
killing of the nineteen miners at
Independence, Orchard left town
the day before With a man named
Neville. Then he made a pre-
text for stealing back and kill.
ing the men. The next day
Neville accused him of the crime.
He acknowledged it. Neville
had fears of arrest. He went to
Nevada. 1t was feared that he
would tell on Orchard. A man
named Sapp was hired for $1,000
to poison him and he was put
out of the way. So much for the
murders that have come to light.
Three attempts we're made to
kill Governor Peabody of Colo
RADIO Once Orchard says he and
Simpkins planted a bomb for
him on a street. 1t was to be
touched off by a wire as Mr..
Peabody passed the spot. A coal
wagon backed on the wire just
as Peabody came along and put
1t out of working order. Another
time it was planned to shoot HIM
in. front of his home at night as
he alighted from his carriage.
Assit-hgRpened, only the women
of his family were in the car
riage, and the Governor escaped.
Another time it was planned to
decoy him home from a meeting
in an automobile and kill him on
the way. A man mysteriously
warned him one afternoon of this
danger, and again he was saved.
Another assassination h
failed, as has been Indicated,
was that planned for Chief
Justice Gabbert. He with Justice
Goddard had offended the strik-
ing miners by decisions and
structures on the order. He
usually crossed vacant lot on
his way to the court chambers.
