PRESIDENT VAN CLEAVE AT
BANQUET IN SEATTLE
Declares He Never Used Unlawful
Weapons of intimidation in Con-
fIicts Over Personal or
Property Affairs

SEATTLE June III. w. Van
Cleave, president of the Buck Stove
and Range company and chairman of
the National Council of the Industrial
Defense, was banqueted by the Manu-
association Of Seattle to-
night.
Mr.. Van Cleave discussed the recent
statement by Samuel Gompers, re-
ferring to him as an 'intimidator of
unions" Mr.. Van Cleave said:
1.-The only weapon of intimidation I
have used in conflicts which have been
forced upon me for the protection of
my personal and property rights was
the law of this land. GompeTs seems
to think that when / seek the protec-
ton of the constitutional authority
which decided adversely to his notions
of civil rights I am seeking to intimi-
date himself and his followers, but
when he and those whom he leads de-
termine to destroy my business unless
I agree to accept the Industrial condi-
lions which he proposes, he is eXercis-
ing a constitutional right to injure an
other
Il use no weapons but legal remedies,
guaranteed me by the law of the land.
Gompers has insisted upon using every
method which the state and federal
courts have repeatedly condemned, and
that not only before the courts had
disapproved his policy, but after they
had expressly rejected it."

SALARY CASE is DECIDED
AGAINST DEPUTY ASSESSOR
Judge Holds Auditor Not Compelled
to Issue Pay Warrant to
w. r. Newman

SANTA ANA, June I'm a lengthy decis-
ion filed today with County Clerk Williams.
Judge Curtis ID. Wilbur OF Los Angeles denied
the petition of Deputy Assessor w. R. New
man for a writ of mandate to compel County
Auditor Lester to draw warrant for New
mans salary for the month of April The
decision is based on the ground that the pay
ment of a deputy is an increase in the salary
OF the principal Of a county office.
The suit was brought to test the validity Of
the county government act amended, which
provides that deputies may be employed by
county officers, and which taken. to mean
that payment for such deputies might be made
from the county treasury beginning immedi-
ately after the passage of the act
In view of the fact that Judge Hutton OF
Los Angeles has decided within the last two
weeks a similar in San Bernardino in
favor of the constitutonality of the act, and
that Judge Post of Sacramento, Judge Ogden
of Alameda and several other superior Judges
in the state have taken the same view of the
matter an appeal will be taken from Judge
Wnbur's decision and the case taken to the ap-
pelate court for final settlement.

NEW YORK, June Nv. W. Rule,
statistician of the anthracite coal com

miners.
