ruling regarding the admissibility of
articles of the miners magazine he
held the defendant officers of the
union were responsible for their pub
lication because the articles offered
evidence of indicated animosity to-
ward Steunenberg, Goddard ct al.
Darrow and Richardson held the
ruling was unjust but Judge Wood
ruled it however. All the matter Of
fered was acceptable excepting those
articles published after the death of
Stcunenberg. A great portion of the
mornings session was spent by Sena-
tor Borah monotonously reading this
documentary evidence.
AS matter of fact the extracts read
were hardly of revolutionary
character but more in line with the
ordinary utteranceS of trade journals.
Borah after finishing his reading Of
fered in evidence the Colorado deci-
sion of the supreme court Overturning
the eight hour law. The defense OBJ
jected but the court admitted it de-
claring it showed a decision was rem
dered in Colorado and was also gotten
before the jury in the decision in the
