PetrieI'a Makes Call At Local Union
Office,


Teiffelo Petriella, the much misun-
derstood, but thoroughly capable lead
er In the miners strike on the Mesaba
range, was visitor at the headquar-
ters of the local labor men last Tues
day. Mr.. Petriella came down to ask
the cooperation of Duluth labor in
insisting upon the enforcement Of the
law on the ranges. He says that his
men are being arrested by over -offic-
1ous peace officers, and that there is
no justice In the courts on the range.
This was Mr.. Petriella's first ap-
pearance in Duluth labor circles, and
naturally he was greeted BY! a curious
number who were anxious to see what
the much-talked- of-leader of the min
ers looked like. Ones first impress
sion was far from favorable, but as he;
discussed the strike, Its cause, effect
and the parts played by officers OF the
law. 1t was readily observed that the
little dark-eyed organiser OF the West
ern Federation Of Miners was pos
sessed o" no little ability. It'd Ii
Mr.. Petriella is small Of stature; has
the quick manner Of the typical Ital-
ian, Is exceedingly pleasant in his con-
versation, and while possessed Of a
foreign accent In his expression he
masters the English Language well.
The newspapers have not given the
public an honest statement OF the
character OF Petriella. n SIS ".

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. S.-The state
board Of examiners has nearly COM
pleted the work of auditing the bills
in connection with the Haywood trial.
and it is found that all but $4,000 OF
the 100000 appropriated by the legis-
lature has been expended. 1'r the pre-
sent there has been actually paid out
$4,000. Bills presented and not yet
passed on amount to $4,000, and addi-
tional bills aggregating $1,000 will be
filed. aa,.........s !. ..-.-,..--.

expenses in the trial Of Pettibone. is
not known, as 1t Is said to- be doubt
full If any bank will care to take a
chance on honoring deficiency war
rants. Prominent citizens have ex-
pressed a sentiment against further
prosecution of the cases. and many
bankers fear the next legislature will
decline to take up the warrants.
James H. Hawley. chief counsel for
the prosecution, has drawn $30,041.6O
from the state, and has bills pending
amounting to $3,64S.50 more.> All of

other states It is understood that his
fee is $4,000. Senator Borah has been
paid $4,000 and has no bills pending.
This is the smallest fee paid to any
of the leading attorneys on either
side.
The total amount paid to the Pink
erton National Detective agency is
$29'839.71. James Mcfarland was al
lowed $40 day for his services, and
1t Is said there were no strings to the
amount he was permitted to spend for
expenses and incidentals. The state
was put to heavy expense in bring
ing witnesses from other states. Not
only was it necessary to pay all their
expenses. but In most instances wit
nesses charged for their time.
AS an example Of the lavish expen-
diture the receipts show that $3.50 "a

Harry Orchard previous to the Brad

route to the iron range Of the state,
where at present strike of miners is
in progress; and
whereas, A large majority of these
men, by their own statements and ad-
missions. are non-restdents Of the
state Of Minnesota, and are employed
solely for the purpose Of being used
as guards. in violation Of the laws of
this state; and ~ = go
Whereas, The personnel of these
so-called guards is made up of an un-

trial was fair, though, eminently fair
The attorneys for the state, particu-
larly Senator Borah, conducted the
prosecution in an able manner. Presi-
dent Meyer and I have always been
friends, despite reports to the coun-
try.
What do I think of Clarence Dar-
row? Well nothing succeeds like sue
cess, does it?' %@
Judge Lands delivered himself Of
some very terse and convincing indict-
ments against the Standard Oil COM
pany in his decision. Here are few
Of them:
''The men who deliberately violated
the law wound society more deeply
than does he who counterfeits the coin
or steals letters from the mail"
1T is novel, indeed, for a convicted
defendant to urge the complete tri-
unph of a dishonest course as a rea-
son why such course should go un-
punished.''
"The conception and execution Of
such a commercial policy (The Stand
ard's) necessarily involves the contain
ination of subordinate officials"
THE only way for others to stay in
the oil business would be to adopt the
practice of this defendant and procure
the great public power Of railway COM
panies to be secretly perverted in this
interest. Under no other possible
theory could they hope to survive"
For this offense the Elkins law
authorizes punishment only by fine, an
obvious defect, remedied, however, by
the present law, prescribing imprison-
ment In the penitentiary for like
ofence.' u. # s5sssssss sssssss5
Where thezonly possible motive OF
the crime Is the enhancement of diyi-
dends and the only punishment author
lied is f1ne,. great caution must be
exercised by the court lest the fixing
or small amount encourage the de-
fehdant to future violations by esteem-
ing the penalty to be in the nature of
a license" = Is
The court is not impressed by. the
doleful predictions of counsel for the
defendant as to the hardshipa upon the
honest shipping public to be antfcipat-.
ed from the enforcement OF this rule.
The honest man who tenders a COM
modify for transportation by railway
company will not be fraudulently mis-
led by that company into allowing it to
maui his property for less than the law
authorizes 1t to collect" 4 /.
