FOR PERJURY SOON
As Result Of Testimony in The Trial Of
Boston Cinnamon Who Were Ac-
cused of Murder-Half Dozen

for perjury are expected as result of
the hearing by the state pardon board
of the applications OF Wary Charles,

witnesses admit that they swore false
~ and were paid by the Hip Sings.
Lieut.. Gov, rockingham the head 81
the pardon board, will likely order ar
rests.
In his plea for release and pardon
Attorney Harvey H, Pratt asked the
committee to review the evidence in the
trial and set aside the verdict because
of Charles public services and because
neither Of the defendants had any
knowledge Of the murders. Mr.. Pratt
admitted that he had very little evidence
to support the claim Of the ignorance
OF Charles and Guey regarding the
shooting.
He laid much stress upon the work Of
Charles as court interpreter and ais
an assistant TO the government in the
apprehension of Chinese smugglers. II
was this latter act which brought down
upon him the ennlity of the members
Of the opposing Tongs.
Following the effort of the attorney

appeared before the governors council

CONDITION HERE FOLLOWING
SECURING OF 1910 FEDERATION
CONVENTION.

In a letter to The Minnesota Union
Advocate, Pres. B. F. Lathrop, Of the
Fargo Trades & Labor assembly, says
in part:
All Fargo is, as 1t were, standing on
tiptoe looking forward to the conven-
ton of the Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Labor next June, and radiant
with expectations of the good time
coming and the benefit the convention
will work out for the cause of organ
lied labor in this community. AS a
matter of fact, the benefit is already
apparent and part of it achieved, and
what has been done is only an earnest
of the much great good that Is to
follow
We have a year before us in which
to justify the faith Of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor in agreeing
to meet here, and 1t may be confidently
relied on that none of the time will
be lost and that when the convention
assemblies in June, 1910, 1t win realize
that it made no mistake in accepting
the hospitality of "the biggest little
city on the map"

WOMAN IS PLACED
ON PAR WITH man
TRADE uNIoNisM HAS DONE
WONDERS FOR WOMAN IN BET
TERING HER CONDITION IN THE
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
WORLD.

Woman owes an incalculable debt to
the labor movement. 1t has done for
her everything that it has for men. 1t
has raised her earning wage, cent for
cent and dollar for dollar. as it has
raised the wage Of the man toiler. 1t
has reduced her hours of labor in ex-
actly the same proportion as it has
decreased those of men. But the labor
movement has done more than this
something that no other movement, no
other institution, political, religious or
economic, has done--it has made her
the co-equal of man. What church and
state have persistently refused, and
do still vigorously protest against, the
labor movement has from it's very in
ception recognized fully and freely, to-
wit-woman's right to political, social
and industrial equality.
Necessity, Not Chivalry.
The Difference to woman and the
benefits which accrue to her with every
step of progress made b ythe labor
movement are not due, however, to any
feelings of either sentiment or pity for
her. There is nothing chivalrous about
the labor movement. 1t is quite as
soulless as the trust. 1t has naught
to do with high-falutin' notions about
the gentIeness and sweetness and vir-
tue of womanhood.
The labor movement only recog-
nizes the fact that women have got
to work nowadays right alongside Of
men, and that, therefore. they must
be dealt with as men.

BUYS GERMAN RIFLES.

Cuba Doesn't Want to Depend on
Uncle Sam for Ammunition.
Havana, July 10-It is said the real
reason for the award by the Cuban
government of the contract for rifles
and field guns to a German firm was
the consideration that, in case OF war
with the United states, Cuba would
be unable to obtain ammunition that
would fit the guns if they were pur-
chased in America.
This question was thoroughly dis
eussed before the decision was made
to, award the contract without public
bids, which would have given Ameri-
can firms an opportunity to secure
the contract.
