OF
THAW in
BALANCE
Family of Prisoner
Scored by Jerome
In Closing

(By United Press Leased Wire }
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug. q.
Immediately after the opening
of court today in the inquest into
the state of mind of Harry X.
Thaw, District Attorney Jerome
began a speech reviewing the two
trials in which Thaw was charged
with the murder of Stanford
White and said that all the wit
nesses in both trials, with the ok
|ception of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
appeared to have tried to tell the
truth.
Mrs. Thaw Reads Magazine.
He endeavored, through analyz-
ing the testimony, to show that
Thaw is a paranoiac. While Je-
rome outlined what he termed
Thaw's tainted mental heredity''
and his alleged Imperfect child
hood" Mrs. Thaw sat quietly
reading a magazine.
Harry conferred with his coun-
sell and the whole .Thaw party
took the attitude of paying no 1T
tention to Jereme's remarks. +
While Jerome was speaking,
Mrs. Thaw distributed among the
reporters q statement attacking
several of the alienists in the em-
ploy of the state. Jerome spoke
In a conversational tone, taking
up Thaw's whole history and
tracing the family connections TO
substantiate his claim that Thaw
is victim of hereditary insanity.
He charged that Thaw has suf-
fered and is now suffering from
delusions that White attacked
young girls; that White hired the
famous "Mong Eastman gang" to
follow him and that his own law
yers and alienists were In con-
spiracy to railroad him to the
asylum.
In his argument Jerome sail:
sLet me point out that the
whole Thaw family manifested
what might be called popularity.
From such stock the average
man OF the world. without any as
sistance from alienists would say:
We'll, you would get pretty
rickety sort OF child out of that
family
Jerome talked for half an hour.
Attornel Morschauser spoke In
favor of Thaw and In opening
took the ground that Thaw's mem
tai condition at the time he killed
White Is not an issue in the pres
ent hearing. s

AFTER THE STEEL TRUST.
American Federation Going After the
King of All Combines.

King of All Combines.
| The Toronto convention decided to
put the American Federation of Labor
on the trail of the United States Steel
Co.-the steel trust" The first step
in the campaign will be to organize
| the "ore fleets and the next to have
the building trades departments re-
| fuse to handle the steel product of
non-union mills. Here's hoping the
American Federation of Labor will
wage a winning fight against this
king pin of all union smashers-the
| steel trust. But
Immediately after the Toronto con-
vention the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor met in
New York to consider the matter.
While there President Gompers, Vice
President Mitchell, Secretary Morri-
son and other officials of the Fedora
ton attended the annual meeting and
banquet of the National Civic Fedora

Civic Federation several times. I'M

the Wattles outfit intends to escape
the tax if it can be done by legal
bubble or technicality. And having
plenty of money and therefore the
ability to employ the finest legal tai
ent, the Wattles outfit is able to de-
feat demand for decent wages and
also escape paying its just share Of
taxes. Those big corporations catch
the poor public coming and going.

sHIRTWAIsT MAKERS STRIKE.
And They Make the Employers Come
to Time in Short Order

to Time in Short Order.
Last week six or eight thousand
shirtwaist makers in New York City
went on strike to enforce a demand
for 20 per cent increase in wages,
shorter hours and better sanitary con-
ditions. The employers fatty refused
to submit and proceeded to hunt for
strikebreakers. To their surprise no
strikebreakers were to be found. In
stead, the employers found that the
strikers had enlisted the sympathy of
the public, and had properly fixed
every worker likely to be enlisted as
a strikebreaker. This is the busy
season for the employers, and they
soon learned that it was either a case
of agree or go out of business.
Before the strike was week old
the employers began coming across.
They came by threes and tours at
first, then by dozens. By the end of
the week 80 per cent had signed up
and agreed to the demands of the
shirtwaist makers, and last Tuesday
mornings papers announced the com
plete victory of the strikers. Any one
who has seen the awful conditions un-
der which the garment making indus
try is carried on in New York City
will realize what the victory means
| to the thousands of women engaged
therein. A 20 per cent increase in
wages seems big, but it means simply
that the girls will now receice from
ISIS to 81 a week instead of from 81
to Sc. The main concession is the
shortening of the hours and some bet
Iterment of the conditions under
which the girls must work. Those
conditions could not be worse, and
any change would have to be for the
Ibetter.

first. Several were taken so unpre-
pared by the idea that they refused to

about evenly divided. Mr.. Mitchell re-
marked that the vote showed that the
pole was discovered, and that was the
point that he was after really, and he
| did not care who got to the coveted
region first. Chairman Bahnsen was
one of those who declined to vote on
either side of the question. He had

not come back for 16 years. Why 1t
looks like a new city to me. Your new
business buildings, the growth of the
residence section, your splendid rail
way facilities, improved streets, ETC.,
puts your city in the first class. You
have every advantage to attract fac

any reason why you should not keep
