GROWS MORE SERIOUS
Freight Congestion in New York
HarbOr Following Strike.
TWELVE THOUSAND MEN OUT
Both the Longshoremen and the Ship
ping Companies Determined in
Their Positions and an Early End Of
the Trouble Seems Unlikely.

New York. May 10.--The gravity in
the longshoremen's strike grows. with
the hours. This is principally because
the congestion of freight is becoming
rapidly greater. the total monetary
loss being reckoued at about 100000,
involving business in many parts of
the country. 1t is also because an ele-
ment of the strikers seem to be ready
when 800 Italian and Polish strike
breakers were surprised and attacked
by several hundred strikers and their
sympathizers in Williamsburg and a
savage fight ensued in which stones
knives and clubs were used and num-
bers of persons were hurt, including
some policemen. Then again both
sides show iNity of purpose which
does not presage an early end OF the
trouble. The strikers, who now nuIn
ber about 1900, declare that they will
not yield unless their demands for a
higher scale Of wages are granted and
the steamship companies are equally
insistent that no concessions will be
made by them and that they will stand
together to resist the mems exactions.
Meantime Police Commissioner Bing-
ham has taken the precaution to keep
in reserve at the stations all the DO.
licemen except those on patrol
j. Fl. Thomas, operating manager of
the International Mercantile Marine
company, speaking for the transatlan-
tic lines involved in the strike, said
that the heads of all those lines had
discussed the situation. They were
unanimous. ne said in the position
that the demands of the strikers were
sexorbitent, that the companies could
not afford to meet them and that the
strikers places would be filled with
other men at the present scale. The
companies will bend their energies to
getting the vessels away on schedule
time, even if this be with partial car
goes.

IN EVENT OF ACQUlTTAL.
Trials of Other Miners Leaders May
Be Abandoned.

Boise, Ida, May 10.-William D..
Haywood, secretary and treasurer OF
the Western Federation of Miners, has
been placed on trial for completely in
the murder at Caldwell, Ida., on Dec.
80. 1905, of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg. Haywood is one of four
defendants charged with the murder
The others are Charles B. Meyer,
president of the federation; George a.
Pettibone, a former member of the eS-
cut1ve committee of the federation,
and Harry Orchard The last named
is expected to be the most important
witness for the state against Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone. He is.

CANNOT OPEN RESERVATION
Action by Congress Necessary Before
Settlers Can Get Land.

Cass Lake, Mimi, May 10.-Assist.
ant Attorney General Woodruff Of the
interior department, here in consulta-
tion with Congressman Bede, has de-
cided that congressional action will
be necessary before any lands now in
cluded in the Minnesota forest reserve
can be released and thrown open to
entry.
On all cutover lands there is per
cent of the total original amount of
timber left standing. The standing
timber must be left, under the provis-
ions of the Norris act, for the purpose
of reforestration. The department
could not dispose of this 5 per cent
unless authorized to do this by con-
gress.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-05-11

it has been the task Of the prosecution
to endeavor to corroborate this con-
fession wherever possible. The fact
that Haywood's case is the first called
for trial is regarded as indicating that
the prosecuting attorneys believe their
strongest evidence is against the Sec
retary of the federation. The outcome
uss irisvsase VIII detefmine ths &c ton
to be taken with regard to Meyer and
Pettfbone. Should there be a convic-
tion of Haywood, Meyer and rPettibone
will be called for trial in the order
named. On the other hand, an ac-
quittal of Haywood undoubtedly would
mean an abandonment of the cases
against the other accused officers OF
the miners organization. 49,.
Orchards Trial Will Come Last.
Orchard will not be tried until all
of the other cases are disposed of. 1t
is said that the evidence against him
is so strong that he cannot hope for
other than a conviction of murder In
the first degree regardless Of the ver-
diets upon the indictments against
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone. Or
chard, it is said, has been promised
no degree of clemency whatsoever in
giving evidence for the state Having
admitted his active participation in
the heinous crime of blowing the for
mer governor of Idaho to pieces with
a bomb at the gate of his residence
Orchard unquestionally will have to
pay the capital punishment for his
confessed crime.
Caldwell, where the murder was
committed, is the county seat of Can
yon county. A change of venue to
Boise, the capital city of Idaho and
county seat of Ada county, was grant
ed on the motion of the defense, ii
being alleged in behalf of the prison
ers that fair trial in Canyon county
would be an impossibility.
Speculation as to the length of the
Haywood trial has resulted in guesses
ranging from two weeks to five
months. There are some who believe
that the task Of selecting jury alone
will REQUIRE at least three weeks.

Vice President Sundberg: Thanks
for the report, but it is the testimony
that I want as Judge on the subject.
It reads very nice and especially the
attack on Stickney indicates that you
had it in for him. The Great North
ern got off very easy, which I expect
ed it would. 1t was very wise of Man
ahan not to print the resolution
authorizing your committee to work
up and find the facts of railroad hum
bug. It proves holman liar, by the
report. If the books had been used to
verify the testimony, there would
have been great many more per-
juries exposed. Judging roads that
Manahan had probably never seen,
amuses me, who, have examined them
many times in years past. Statement
about equipments scrapped is another
amusing feature. The fact is, that
there is lots of 25 year old equipment
in use which has been repaired from
time to time, paid for as operating
expense, leaving the car Or locomo-
tive nearly as good today as when
bought new. Of course it fs not up to
date. Manahan wanting to be s'it,"
eliminated assistance that would got
what the resolution called for.
Now, senator, your report is val
liable as far as it goes. If I had not
been squelched by the compromise rate
sh-ups engineered by Mills, Staples,
Spooner and Peterson for J. J. Hill,
there would have been a committee of

The following letter criticizing the
report of the sundberg committee
which investigated the value of rail-
road properties in Minnesota, was
first written by Mr.. Olson to Chair
man Sundberg and later Mr.. Olson
sent copy to R. J. Hall, from whom
we obtained it.

railroad rate question for years, and
has been often mentioned in the city
papers since last fall when he was
given permission by J. j. Hill to ex-
anime the books of the Great North

The publication of the letter at this
time is important as showing that the
railroad rate question will not be set
