and city hall affairs in general in
charge.
If the committee is not increased
to four then labor will seek the CO.
operation of the other organiza-
tons in a move to have repre-
sentative investigation committee
that will really probe and not
whitewash at all, and If the com
mittee is increased to four, labor
will demand that its prying be done
secretly, that neither Sullivan nor
any other accused man be admitted
at his pleasure, and the the inquiry
proceed as does grand jury in
vestigation.
Another interesting end to the
manysided wrangle is the stand the
German societies are taking. Karl
Riedelsberger will also demand that
the societies he is president of have
Il representative on the probing
committee, and if that is not grant
cd his organization will likewise
join with labor in securing a real,
unbiased and undictated-to com
mittee.
Then there is the woman's club

Until such time he will strive to
keep his mind open and avoid
prejudice based upon ex parte or
partisan reports. He has been
careful not to say that he intends
to be forever silent.
He believes the duty of all good
citizens to take active part lies
quite as heavily upon men out of
office as upon those who are in.
AS to whether he will take more
than publicists part in the flu
ture political contests will depend
wholly upon developments. l be-
lieve his mind is. absolutely open
on this score today. He feels that
principles rather than persons
should command support, and I am
confident that when the Roosevelt
influence is felt it will be in aid
of the progressive policies and the
progressive men who are striving
for them in the United States to-
day.

appalling, revolving, astound-

tives used today by Campbell
Cummins, special assistant at
torney general Of Missouri, in
describing the conditions in the
St. Louis meat packing plants
which he visited.
1.-THE conditions In St.
Louis meat packing plants are
appalling" said Cummins.
"The startling and revolving
charges were so sensational
that ! paid no attention to
them at first. Then I took the
matter up personally and
found that the conditions de-
scribed were really true and
that conditions in some Of the
plants are SO bad as to be
astounding"
The state will begin an Of
fetal investigation into the
charges in connection with the
various packing houses.

That they can easily pay the

is apparent.
Striking stokers declare they
made no mention to the employers
regarding the increase made by
the city council in the wages at
the laborers and teamsters on city
work, as has been reported, and
say that instead they are basing
their demands on the increase in
the cost of living, and, in fact, the
stokers in Tacoma are being paid
SO per day.

Topeka, Kan. June "a decision
OF Judge John c. Pollock, of the
United States district court, announc-
ed here it is believed will settle
the controversy between Kansas
pharmacists and the courts as to the
validity of the prohibtory act of 1909.
Judge Pollock upheld the act abso-
lutely and in his opinion liquor in no
wise can be sold in Kansas except on
a physicians prescription and then
only by the physician himself.
The decision was made in the case
of Samuel A Harrison, owner of a
drug store in Kansas City, Kansas.
Harrison, who lives in Missouri, ask
ed that Joseph Taggart, prosecuting
attorney of Wyandotte county, Kan,
be restrained from taking action to
prevent him obtaining a permit from
the probate court to sell liquor. Har-
rison held that the act of 1909 was
unconstitutional, in that it conflict,
ed with the original prohibitory
amendment of 1881.
