FORMER COMMISSIONERS LAX
IN PERMITTING vENTILATOR
PIPE SAWED OFF JUST
RIGHT FOR TELEPHONE.

Considerable stir was created
among the bailiffs in the superior
court and the deputies in the
clerks office today by the publica-
ton in The Press last night of the
details relating to the existence of
six-inch vent pipe through which
communication can be had with
the juryrooms from the attic of the
courthouse.
Tuis morning Bailiff Maxwell of
the criminal department made a
report to Judge Hinkle, having
first Investigated and satisfied him.
self that the matter was correctly
reported.
The blame for the sawed-off vent
pipe leading from the attic to the
fury rooms is placed on the COM
missioners who had the plumbing
installed, as it would have been
just as easy to have continued the
vent pipe up through the roof as
to have cut it off four feet above
the attice floor. Blame Is also
placed on the lax system that has
prevailed in the management of
the county building that has per-
mitted doors in the attic to remain
unlocked that should have been un-
der lock and key.
The commissioners will probably
be asked to take steps to remove
the six inch speaking tube to the
jury rooms at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
Bailiff Maxwell was asked IL he
believed If the vent pipe had ever
been used in any effort In the way
of jury tamperins. He doubted
very much If 1t had, but said that
it could very well have been used
for that purpose, as every word
uttered at the top of the vent pipe,
even a whisper, can be heard in
the lavatories in the jury rooms
below.

HAS MEN WHO CAN'T
GET WORK ENOUGH

OLYMPIA, Feb. 3.-"Uncle jim"
Anderson of the Pacific Coast Co.
and Seattle is in Olympia and on
this particular trip Uncle i'm" is
down to see that the bill providing
for an eight hour day for miners
doesn't become law.
Mr.. Anderson is not without ex-
perience in the ways and process
es of legislators. and instead of
coming down here primed with
facts, figures and indisputable ar
guments, he came accompanied by
doze nminers, men with the
powder marks on their faces
Mr.. Anderson's friends are
miners. There is no denying this,
and strange to say these miners,
who all give evidence OF foreign
birth, are violently opposed to the
eight hour day. They apparently
yearn for labor; they long for
more hours of toll, and II they
have any complaint to make
against the Pacific Coast Co. 1t is
that that concern does not permit
them to work long enough.
A curious incident in connection
with their presence in Olympia at
this time Is that their expenses,
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-02-03

hotel bills, car fare and the like
are all paid by Mr.. Anderson. That
these miners are at all representa-
tive OF the sentiments of the men
who work underground for the Pa
cific Coast Co., the labor lobby
denies with constant and increas.
ing vehemence. Furthermore. the
labor lobby asserts these miners
are picked for this purpose, and
that they will in due time receive
a fitting reward for betrayed of
their fellow laboring men.
1t is worth great deal to the
Pacific Coast Co. to beat this law,
and this corporation is probably
the best represented of any in the
state. The bill is now In the
hands OF the committee on mines
and mining, of which Tonkin OF
King is chairman. 1onkin has al.
ways claimed to be a labor man
but he has always been fought by
union labor on the grounds that
he would legislate for the Pacific
Coast Co. The mines and mining
committee is hostile to any labor
legislation and there is small
chance of its having anything good
to say about the measure.

The code will first be given to

will be sent to the senate. What.
