Sometimes. ("

Occur d'Alenes?'
"In some instances it did. l did
not approve of the pullpen. OF the
permit system, Of the indignities up
on the men, but as to Gov. Steunen-
berg l did not regard him In any
other light than do you, Senator,
or Bartlett Sinclair, or any Others
who were concerned"
"Did that article reflect your views
and those Of the federation?''
"As to the governors official acts
1t did," replied Haywood, who added
that the article was directed against
Steunenberg as state official and
not as man. "There were many
Others who felt the same way atout
Gov. Steunenberg," the witness went
on. 1.-The lieutenant-governor, who
served under .Steunenberg, wrote an
article which was much stronger
than this.
Said Senator Borah, 1.-THE Western
Federation of Miners had a permit
system OF its own and no one could
work where 1t was In control unless
he had union card?"
"No, sir; a man coCld go to work
anywhere without card, but we ex.

Ibid you ever meet Mrs. Harry
Orchard?"
"Yes, sir; met her at headquart.
ers"
''How many times was she there?''
II can't say
SIN your letter to Mrs. Orchard
you said that the last information
you got as to Orchards whereabouts
was from Alaskan"
"Yes. SIR
And the only information you
had was his statement that he
thought Of going to Alaskan"
"Yes, sir.'
"And your reason for saying what
you did was because you did not
want to convey to her the real facts
that we're in your possession?"
"Yes, sir, / think that was It,

Before employing an attorney to
defend Orchard, Haywood said the
organization did nothing to discover
what Orchard had been doing prior
to the murder OF Gov. Steunenberg
Neither was there an investigation
to determine the mans guilt or in

went over the transcript OF the evil
