dilatory. A few months ago he was
married and his habits of industry
have not improved in the least. A
little sister fourteen Years of age
quit school and took employment In
the Susquehanna silk Mills in an ef-
fort to provide for the mother who
was unable to do much for herself.
The mother has been quite scantily
clad and has often been without suf-
ficient food. The young mans habits
have been very bad. He would work
day and remain idle for a week.
When he was out of money and
there was nothing to eat at home he
would do odd jobs about restaurants
for his own meals and make no effort
to provide for the mother Justice
Gompf determined it would be still
a greater hardship to send him to the
workhouse, so the sentence was sus-
pended so long as he endeavors to do
the right thing in caring for his
mother.

AS announced by The Press yes
terday evening, action toward Sc
curing an all night car service was
taken up at the meeting Of the Sec
tonaI Central Labor Council last
night and committee composed Of
w. J. Coates, Mr.. Thornton of the
Electrical Workers union and John
Gordon from Federal union No. II
was appointed to launch the cam.
paign in earnest. W. J. Coates in
troduced the matter into the dis
cussions of the meeting and was
placed at the head of the commit
tee. nj
Plan for action is to be taken up
Immediately by the committee with
a view to rushing the work
through and securing the service
without further delay. Both trans
portation companies operating in
the city will likely be consulted
regarding the matter, as the initial
step in the work of the committe.
and further efforts will be greatly
governed by the results of the con-
ference.
Various prominent labor leaders
favor a plan TO have the request for
an all night car service made in the
form of petition. Many copies OF
the petition may be made up and
left with the real estate dealers
business offices, commercial houses
and saloons, where they will be
most likely to come before the
greatest number of persons inter
ested in the movement. There
seems to be few obstacles now in
the way of the movement, since
many of the business men have ex.
pressed themselves as favorable to
it and have volunteered their sup.
mort in it.

have even offered their assistance
in its circulation.
Overwhelming support seems to
be awaiting the laboring mans de-
mand for an increase in salary.
Dodgers have been mailed broad
cast, bearing the names of individ-
uals and of business and manufac-
turing concerns, alleged to have
signed the remonstrance to the city
council, which was the apparent
cause for its last withdrawal of the
support that it had already ex-
tended the measure.
Federal unionists and the team
sters union are behind the move
ment in full force and the counter
petition will be in circulation within
the next few days. 1t is said that
the town will be flooded with them
and it is expected that the city
council will be forced to action in
favor of the increase in the city
wage scale by the support that will
be given the petition.

BY gibson GARDNER,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. -
Immunity from prosecution under
the criminal penalties Of the Sher-
man antitrust law was one Of the
considerations in the political bar
gain which brought to President
TAFT the support Of "big business
in the last campaign.
That bargain is now being ex-
ecuted.
The Chicago beef packers will
not feel the heavy hand of the
criminal law-if President Taft and
Attorney General Wickersham can
prevent. And they are now doing
their part to prevent.
In April, 1909. Attorney General
Wickersham called a halt to prose
cutions of the beef trust He Or
dered District Attorney Sims to dis
continue his presentation of evil
dence to the Chicago grand jury.
This was the occasion Of Wicker
sham's famous letter saying he did
not believe "any public service
would be rendered by making at
this time test case of past trans
actions"
This was accepted by the Chicago
packers as guarantee of immunity
and they have governed themselves
accordingly. The "big three" whom
Attorney General Moody had prose-
cuted to the United States supreme
court, each of whom had been fined
$4,000 on test cases." organized a
holding company and went ahead
boosting prices until they earned,
according to their own statements,
35 per cent dividends on a stock is
sue of $20.0O0,00O.
The administration has been
somewhat worried by the general
revolt against the high cost of liv-
ing. and the obvious connection be-
tween the high cost of meat and the
beef trusts immunity from prose
cutiOn. 1t was decided, however,
that the storm could be weatfered
by an appearance Of congressional
activity in the way of an inveStiga-
ting committee. and by diligently
telling the public that the RESPONSE
bility is on the retailer and the
extravagant mode of living So
Secretary Wilson and Senator Elk
ms have been doing their part
along these lines.
Then came a surprise to the
White House. News was received
that Judge Kenesaw Lands had
taken steps to have the grand jury
in Chicago probe the criminal prac-
tees of the beef combine.
ThereupOn Taft called in CORE
sponderts of the Chicago and other
newspapers. and gave them semi
official" information that 1t was the
intention Of the department Of JUS
tice to get after the beef trust
barons. And so was printed in
bold, black type, the alleged pur-
poses of the administration.
| This was followed by that lucid
statement from Judge Lands show
ing that the "semi-official" news
given out by Attorney General
Wickersham, Wade Ellis and Presi-

COUNTER PETITION
ON WAGE SCALE
Many Business Men to Help Labor
in Circulating Petition for Raise
in Wage Scales.

War between labor and the mon-
led and commercial interests in
Spokane is on anew and in dead
earnest. The combative spirit of
common labor, which has been
stoutly opposed in its demands for
an increase in daily wage to make
up for the soaring cost of living,
has reused labor unionism in gen.
erai to action in Spokane.
A counter petition to the remon-
STRANGE, circulated and signed by
more than 200 business and manu-
featuring concerns and banks of the
city. requesting the city council to
oppose the adoption of the proposed
new wage scale for common labor
ers and transfers on city work, is
now to be circulated. Even now,
before the petition has been submit
ted for signatures, it is declared
that a number of the largest and
most powerful business interests of
Spokane have volunteered their
support. and in some instances

NO INCREASE
FOR THE RURAL
DELIVERY men

Rural free delivery carriers in the
vicinity of Spokane need expect no
increase in salary this year. A let
ter from the fourth assistant post
master general, which was read at
the noon hour meeting of the cham
Der of commerce today, brings out
the fact that over S27,000,000 over
the estimated revenue of the serv-
ice was expended in salaries for
rural deliveries last year. 1.-The
government appreciates the serv-
ices of the men, says the letter,
and it also appreciates the high
cost of living, but an increase can
not be made this year.
