BANKERS MAKE AN ATTACK.
Complaint Against Express Companies
Filed with Commission.


One Of the most important cases yet
filed with the interstate commerce
commission under the new railroad
law was presented to the commission
by the American Bankers association.
In brief, the complainant alleges the
express companies OF the United States
through their power and facilities as
common carriers are usurping the pre-
negatives Of the banking associations
and at the same time employing the
capital Of the banks of the country in
the conduct OF their business.
1t is alleged that the operations of
the express companies in the conduct
Of their exchange business is seriously
detrimental to the interests Of banks
and that the use Of interstate facilities
which the express companies have
with the railroads enables the cOmpa-
MES to seriously discriminate against
the regular commercial operations Of
banking institutions.

Colorado Tells of Alleged Misdecds
Of the MIlitary--Miner Gives HUI
morous Account of Experience.

Morris Friedman, the young Rus
sian stenographer who left the en-
ploy Of the Pinkerton agency at Den
yer TO write book in which he pub
lished certain correspondence of the
agency that passed through his hands,
was again Monday the principal fig
ure at the Steunenberg murder trial
at Boise, Idaho. More than half of
the courts day was occupied in read
ing TO the jury copies OF the docu-
ments which Friedman took from the
Pinkerton records. They were chiefly
the daily reports Of secret agents OPP
Grating as spies among the unions and
union men at Cripple Creek, Victor,
Globeville, Colorado City, Trinidad
and Denver, and showed a complete
surveillance of the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners and the United Mine
Workers OF America during the labor
troubles in Colorado in 10000. Pink
erton men sat in the federation con-
ventlon at Denver, 1904, reporting all
proceedings.
None Of the reports that were pro-
duced by Friedman and read to the
Jury by Clarence Darrow contained
other than general references to the
collateral issues of the trial, but they
aided in substantiation of the counter
claim of the defense that the Pinker-
ton agency couspired for the destruc-
ton of the Western Federation of
Miners and the lives of It's leaders.
