THEIR LATEST TRICK.
How Union Busters Are Working to
Gain Their Nefarious Ends.

How Union Busters Are Working to
Gain Their Nefarious Ends.
If Charles Edward Russell, author
and magazine writer is to be believed
then Van Cleave and his allies have
adopted a new method to coerce La
Dor to their way of thinking.
Addressing labor meeting in New
York few days ago, Mr.. Russell
made some private investigations in
various new channels in Washington.
d. c.. and that the things he learned
led him to a pessimistic conclusion
He told of a new method adopted
by the Manufacturers Association to
fight labor unions.
The method is by first laying of the
men, giving poor business as an ex-
cuse.
The employees are keep in idleness
long enough to deplete their savings
and then reopen the factories under
a non-union basis.
Mr.. Russell said the unions are
practically powerless against such
methods.
He predicts that the higher courts
will affirm the decision of Judge
Wright on the officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and that
President Taft will then pardon them.
This, he said, will make the boycott
punishable by Jail ever afterward.
Mr. Russell told of how the Sher.
man antitrust law, during the nine
teen years of its existence, never
landed a single trust magnate in Jail
but that the only time it did was
when it was applied to New Orleans
longshoremen. about five months ago

Abandonment Only Charge Left
In Gould Divorce.
COURT RENDERS A DECISION.
Allegations of Cruelty and Non
Support Stricken Out

New York, June 15.-Abandonmen
will be the sole issue upon which the
suit for separation brought by Kathe-
rine Clemmons Gould against her hus-
band, Howard Gould, third son of the
late Jay Gould, will be decided. This
ruling was made in the supreme court
by Justice Bowling after counsel for
Mrs. Gould had rested the case for
the plaintiff. This sweeps away sew
eral phases of the case-notably
cruelty and non-support, and is a par.
tial victory for Howard Gould. AS to
the charge of abandonment, the court
held that this, too, might not stand
unless the plaintiff was able to show
that Howard Gould's stipulations for
reconciliation with his wife were un.
reasonable. This phase of the case
will next be argued.
Inasmuch as the abandonment
charge only is to be considered there
will be nc further mention of Buffalo
Bill" big" Hawley, the former con-
vict, or Ed Sholes, the reputed gam
bier. But it still leaves open the
question of Mrs. Gould's indulgence In
intoxicants.

DEN MARK.

The Danish statistical bureau has
compiled some figures from the local
elections which took place about two
weeks ago. In Copenhagen the num-
Der of votes was 127, 900 $4,000 men
and $4,000 women; in Fredriksberg
1920 men and 1880 women; in the
provincial towns 1880 men and So
700 women; in the country districts,
$4,000 men and 266,000 women. The
whole number of votes cast was $780,,
600, and the two sexes were almost
equally represented. The cities polled
the heaviest vote. Slagelse headed the
list with a PERCENTAGE of 90.3, while
the percentage was only 56.3 in the
rural communities. In the cities about
20 per cent of the women voted; in
the country districts the correspond
ing percentage was only SO. In the
island of Bornholm only 10 per cent
of the women voted, and in nine rural
precincts no women voted at all.
At least 1000 Danish-Americans are
expected to participate in the unique
Fourth of July celebration which will
be held at Aarhus. The King of Den
mark even is taking an interest in the
affair and will send the crown prince
there to represent him. The object is
to afford Scandinavians an occasion to
learn the truth about the country
which many of their nationality have
made their home and learned to love
as their own country, where they have
availed themselves of the opportuni-
ties offered them and with which they
are thoroughly familiar.
