Judge Baker has certified the indlct-
ments against the Eastern Coal company
and other dealers in coal to the supreme
court on the demurrers submitted by the
several defendants.
His honor sums up his opinion on the
dernCrrerers in this language: II am OF

Judge Baker dSyotes his attention

ing was not due TO the X. OF G. as the
state council could not control the action
of his own council II IL chose to act idc-
pendently.
He then closed his address. assuring the
delegates OF their welcome TO the city and
that he hoped they would have a harmo-
NOUS convention.
A unanimous vote of thanks to tho

Mr.. Thomas Il. Gamble, president of the
Central Tardes and Labor council OF

tended the fraternal greetings of the
Providence Trades and Labor Council and
expressed his opinion that the convention
would do much good.
He also spoke of the musicians differ
ence with the Knights OF Columbus. He
said that the musicians always made ar
rangements as far ahead possible, so
as TO avoid friction and that they also
stated their conditions ahead.
Mr. Golden then addressed the conven-
tion and emphasized the mayors remark
that whenever the textile workers have a
grievance they should make II known by
"A protest.
From now on" said he, "the voice OF
labor will be heard louder than ever"
In his address, which was greeted with
loud applause, he shoke OF the good work
the labor unions were accomplishing and
the great ideals they stood for. He con-
cluded by thanking the mayor and Mr..
Gamble for their addresses.
The mayor then departed, after shaking
hands with the ladies present and saying
that he hoped that they would every one
be married within year.

duced Mayor Patrick j. Mccarthy, who
proceeded 10 address the delegates.
The mayor extended the hearty well
come OF the city to the delegates and
then spoke of the large influence for good
exerted by the Textile Workers.
He said that the workinginan was the
last one to be thought OF unless he as
serted himself and that although in mu-
classes are represented. the workingman
is always at work. Only when they as
serted themselves were they recognized
and granted justice. he said.
He also expressed as his opinion, incl
dentally that although single women
owning property should have votes he
did not think that the vote should be in
troduced into the home. as II might intro
duce an element of discord

attention to the poor" said he instead
OF ostentatiously endowing libraries, they
would have more claim on the credit side
OF the recording angels book of life."
The mayor also spoke OF the pathetic
side of child labor and advised the dele
gates to make known conditions to their
employers and to work especially for the
betterment OF women. who. he said. bear
most of the worlds burden. "The man.
said he, who is healthy and has a

NO LEGAL PRESUMPTION.
Judge Baker says there is no legal pre-
sumption that every combination is ille-
gal and queries II the indictment should
not include such averments which, II true.

His honor considers the precedents or

upon the exact point as to whether two

Baker. would two tramps accidentally
deposited in Rhode Island be considered
thus guilty upon the making of such
agreements here?"
The cases will now 60 TO the supreme
court. There is no doubt the indictments
are as strongly drawn as the state can
sustain hy legal testimony. and the deci-
sion OF tho supreme court is bound to be
one OF wide Importance IL the present
indictments do not stand the tests the SUI
preme court will apply 10 them. then II Is
probable that the prosecution Of coal deal
ers for the rise in coal last winter will
have to be abandoned.
