docks. it was said tonight may be settled
tomorrow or Monday. as the railroads must
have crews at work at Duluth. Superior
and Two Harbors to handle the product of
the mines. should they succeed in open
ing them the first Of the week.
The dock strike is. in a way the key to
the situation, for the breaking of the
strike on the ranges would be of no ad-
vantage unless the could be loaded on
boats and carried down the lakes. The
dock strikers and the mayor of Duluth
today held a conference that was without
result. the employers demanding uncon.
ditional surrender This was refused by
the men. Immediately aftoSward a move
was made by the ore railroads for another
conference. which. it Is thought. may bring
the dock strike to close.
The Western Federation of Miners Is
making preparations for long struggle. If
indications are to be trusted 1t open ed
a cooperative store at HibbinS today and
miners will be allowed to trade there on
credit. This was made necessary by the
action of other stores which insisted on
cash. No violence was reported tonight
from any of the mining centers, and there
were no indications of an outbreak. Sew
eral of the mines have resumed work with
small crews. The Steel Corporation has
several hundred private guards, and sherifrs
in the region have sworn IN hundreds of
deputies to act in case of interference with
working miners.

Woods Charge Fair.

.
Judge Woods charge to the jury was in
keeping with the scrupulous desire for fair
ness which characterized the trial from the
first, and the attorneys for the defense de-
ciared that they were more than satisfied.
The states attorneys, while feeling that the
court If he leaned at all. had given the ben
eft OF every doubtful point Of law to the
defendant. were also sa tisfied.
In the charge, much stress was laid on
the testimony. of Harry Orchard. and the
jury was instructed to scritinize such tes-
tinony closely and to take into considera-
ton any evidence which indicated that
immunity or promise of favors had in
duced the accomplice to take the stand
against the defendant. Judge Wood laid
emphasis upon every assumption by which
the defendant might be found not guilty
and declared that If conviction could be
obtained, the prosecution must not only
remove every reasonable doubt, but the
jury must be convinced ito a moral certain
ty' that the defendant is guilty. One of
the most important of Judge Woods In
structions. as viewed from the defense, was
the following:
TO find person guilty of a conspiracy
to commit crime it is necessary for you
to be satisfied from the evidence. beyond
reasonable doubt, that the party accused
shared in the criminal purpose: and in this
ca Sc II you find that the defendant did no
overt act In carrying out the conspiracy
and did not enter into any unlawful agree
ment. then, even though you should be
satisfied from the evidence beyond a rea-
the conspiracy. such knowledge on the pat
of the defendant would be insufficient to
warrant you in presuming that he was
guilty of the crime charged
