.PLASTERERs UNION :
LOCAL LOG NUMBER So
Local Donated Ten Dollars To-
wards the Appeal From In
junction Sentence. +.

The last meeting of this local was
very largely attended by the member
ship, because it was pretty generally
known, that the imprisonment SEN
tence imposed upon our labor leaders
would be up for consideration. =,
1t was the opinion of all that If ju-
dtcial snobs like Wright are allowed
to persist in their hatred for men who
earn their living by the sweat Of their
brow the usefulness and only power
of organized labor for it's protection
and advancement will be utterly taken
away, and that the present calls for
earnest action on the part of the men
OF labor. All members Of the local
participated in the discussion, after
which the following resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote.
We protest against the uncalled
for and extreme bitterness of the ar
fragments Of the defendants by JUS
tice Wright as unparalleled in judi
cial proceedings. We regard his ac-
ton as direct blow against our in
d1vidual liberties, as workmen and
against our labor unions We con-
denim the penalties imposed as unjust
unreasonable and shockingly excessive
Notwithstanding, Judge Wright's
denunciatory opinion we maintain that
the trade unions have been and are
based on loyaltysfto the laws of our
country and we are now, as we have
been in the past, determined to resent
any encroachments on our rights as
guaranteed by. the constitution and
laws of our country. :. T.
The local then to evidence it's inter
est in this matter. donated ten dollars
towards the appeal fund.

WHAT PRINTERS Do

Noble Tribute to the Benevolence
and Unselfishness of Union

Business Common Sense Distin-
gushing Feature of the
Typographical Union.

The International Typograp hical
Union, which claims as it's own pc
cullar charity the widely renowned and
enyiably renowned Printers Home at
Colorado Springs, is not essentially
different from other established and
reputable union labor organizations in
this country, and it's members are
probably not more charitably inclined
than average American worlsingmen
Of other crafts. It remains true never
theless, that in conspicuous degree
the union printers Of this country make
their beEevolence felt because their
giving for charity is rigidly systematic
and is governed always by the saving

In cooperative benevolence than the
established practice among union prin-
tiers the country over of giving the
value, once or twice or three or four
times each year, of one hour Teach
mans labor. in contribution to the
needs of fellow craftsmen who have
broken down in the struggle for sub
sistence and comfort, and who unless
helped must be left comfortless.
A Model Institution.
The Printers Home in Colorado,
maintained and managed by the In
ternational Typogra phical Union, is
not only a model as an institutional
charity, but is well night perfect as
illustrating perhaps the best method
yet devised Of cooperative benevo-
lence. Every union printer in America
who earns wages contributes each year
his due quota toward the maintenance
of every other union printer in Amer
lea who needs assistance.
Unionism Uplifting.
Union labor organization in it's cru
der stages and through it's gradual de-
velopment toward better things has
had much of ill-doing laid to it's
charge, and has often deserved pop
ular censure. But union labor as a
direct and controlling force in the lives
OF Wage-earners has also dignified
manhood, widely fostered intelligent
benevolence, inculcated temperance,

BLACK APPEARS FOR THAW
FORMER GOVERNOR TAKES UP
CASE ON APPEAL.
Attacks Constitutionality of Act
Under Which Whites Slayer
Was Committed to Asylum.

ALBANY, N Y, October Former
Gov. Frank S. Black appeared yesterday
before the court of appeals for Harry *.
Thaw and attacked the constitutionality
of the act under which Thaw was COM
mitted to the Matteawan State Hospita!
for the Criminal Insane and the law under
which Thaw is being detained in that In
stitution.
Mrs. Thaw and her daughter. the former
Countess of Yarmouth, listened to the ar
guments.
The case came up on an appeal from
an order of the appellate division, affirm
ing an order of Supreme Court Justice
Mills of White Plains in dismissing a
writ of habeas corpus and refusing to
order Thaw's release.
Mr. Black contended that that section
of the code under which Supreme Court
Justice Bowling ordered Thaw committed
was unconstitutional because the commit
ment was ordered without due process of
law. He held that there was no proof
that Thaw was insane at the time of his
acquittal.
when the verdict of that jury" said
Mr. Black in referring to ThawS &C
quittal,. was brought in Thaw stood in
that court free and innocent man."
Mr.. Black then attacked the state in
sanity law which provides that the super
intendent of Matteawan shall be the sole
Judge of the condition of the inmates and
held that Thaw was entitled to jury
trial to determine his mental condition.
Assistant District Attorney Robert c.
Taylor argued that the power exercised
mon law and police power of the state for
years and that the justice was guided in
his action by the testimony offered at
the trial.

SAW WAY TO FREEDOM.
Three Prisoners Escape From Chris
tiansburg (Va.) Jail.

RG, va, OCTOBER t.
A wholesale jail delivery took place here
Tuesday night. when three prisoners
made good their escape by saving their
way out of Jail with instruments evident
ly furnished them by friends on the out
side.
Charles Reimer, alias Harry Hoffman.
alias Harry Freelan. the musical genius,
who was serving term for horse steal
ing, was one Of the convicts to escape.
A penitentiary sentence is now hanging
over the head of Freelan at Bloomfield.
Mo, where he is also wanted for horse
stealing.
Marshall Hoffman, an ex-convict. who
was under indictment for forgery, also
escaped. this being his third escape from
jail here in three years. The man made
his escape two months ago. but returned
Saturday night and surrendered.
Charles Furrow, a vagrant, was the
third man to take French leave.
Reimer. or Hoffman, or Freelan. has
created a sensation since his incarcera-
~tion in jail by organizing a violin class of
girls, who visit him in his cell at the Jail
every day to receive his instructions. The
man has been lionized by society since
before his arrest. Almost daily baskets
OF flowers are sent to him by his woman
friends. The man sings in church choir
every Sunday, attending services under
the espionage of an officer. He has also
been invited to many social gatherings
since he has been in Jail, and several of
them he has attended, accompanied by a
guard.
Reimer is said to have done the same
social stunt in Missouri and other
places before coming to Virginia. He Is
handsome and OF good address.
