Washington, Feb. 26.-Gifford Pin
chcts opening statement to the Bal
linger-Pinchot inquiry this afternoon
was read by Secretary Ballinger in his
Office late today. In response to in
quiries as to whether he intended to
make an reply at this time, Balling-
ec wrote out the following statement
for the Associated Press:
In view of the fact that | will pres
emily have an opportunity to appear
before the committee and acquaint
them with the truth, shall not re-
ply through the press to the mendac-
ious asperions which Mr.. Pinchot
seeks to cast upon me. He attempted
without success to deceive the presi-
dent He will find that it will be
equally difficult for him to deceive the
committee.
OBVIOUSLY the only deception in
which he hopes to SUCCEED is tenn
Ipory deception of the public through
the press. This he has endeavored
to do by giving out in advance intro
ductory statements which have ap-
peared, and which he has been ma
lignant enough to present, but not
quite reckless enough to state upon
oath.
fortunately, as already stated, I
will soon have an opportunity to give
the committee and through the COM
mittee to the public, the facts, and
through this reason, have no stat. =
ment at present to make"

The conservation movement begun
under the administration of Presi-

splendidly up to the time that Pres

that in less than a month after, Bal

previously withdrawn water power

them open to private appropriation

CRooKsToN SOCIALISTS
BOOST THE UNION LABEL

There was adopted at the recent re-
gular meeting of the Crookston local
of the Socialist party in that city
the following resolution which de-
beyond need of further
proof how that party and the organ
lied workers of the country are get
ting together, how their mutual in
terests are daily becoming more and
more intertwined and identical:
Resolved: That we the members Of

Whereas, it is at all time the aim of
the Socialist party to assist the union
workers, we, recognizing the fact that
a very large number of our comrades
are union men:
Be it. further resolved, that we,
the members of this local as body,
urge upon our comrades the necessity
of assisting our union comrades and
brothers in every way, and that in
so assisting, we request our comrades
to, at all possible times, recognize the
union card, and to purchase as far as
possible only goods bearing the union
label, and to give preference to union
labor.

then his work deteriorates also, and
presently the loss in his productivity
amounts to much more than the tenn
porary gain.
"Of course; there could not be a
great deal more specialization in the
actual running Of their trains than
there now is. In the very nature of
the occupation man must do work
of great variety, but in the shops
there is opportunity for minute speci-
al1zatiOn, as in the case of the shoe
factory used as an example by DR..
Matson. There the specialization has
already been carried to the edge of
the danger line, and it should be car

further.

SEAMAN'S Warming
SHOWS AS|A'S PLOT

Detroit, Mich. Dec. 23.-"Compiste
the only solution of the Asiatic prob-<
lem as it is presented to this country
on the Pacific coast" asserts Andrew,
F'uruseth, President of the Interna-<
tional Seamen's union, which held it's
fifteenth annual convention in this
city.
THE Japs and Chinese are coming
into this country in larger numbers
than ever.' continued the tall, bronzed
leader Of the brotherhood Of the
seas. ''There are over 100000 Of them
on the Pacific coast now. They enter
every line of business, from boot
backing to banking. The question
confronting America today is, will the
territory along the Pacific coast be-
long to the white man or the yellow
man: There is no middle course
possible.''
Pressed for solution of the AS
iatic menace, Furuseth was quick to
give this emphatic answer:
Laws, effective laws, laws that will
be carried out with a mailed fist, If
necessary, must be passed to abso-
lutely exclude Mongolians and Hindus.
At present the streets of the Pacific
coast cities are filled with people of
these Asiatic countries.
DO not think for a moment that I
underestimate the ability of these
people, gravely continued the battler
for seamen's rights, ION the contrary
L, have personal knowledge of their
unequaled ability in skilled hand

DECLARE ENGRAVERS NOT
GUILTY OF LAW BREAKING
Boston Judge Hands Christmas
Package to Beantown Strikers
Charged BY Bosses With Violat-
ing Court Injunction.

Boston. Mass, Dec. 23.-The strik-
ins photo engravers won a signal
victory here when the contempt pro-
ceedings brought against them by the
master photo engravers ended in a
decision by Judge Pierce in the equity
court declaring that the defendants
had not violated the Injunction and
the contempt action against then is
therefore unwarranted.
In handing down his decision
finding that the strike leaders had
done nothing which can be construed
as contempt of court, Judge Pierce
scored the employers who started the
proceedings. He declared that the
proceedings started by the master
photo engravers seeking to punish
four of the strike leaders were not
started "for the good of the COM
monwealth." but out of revenge and
with the object of getting satisfaction.
The contempt proceedings were
brought by William B. Wright and
other employers against G. F. Lewis
and John Mcguire. officers of the
Photo Engravers' union. and Matthew
Woll and Louis Kohlmetz. of the In
ternational Photo Engravers' union.
The case grew out of a sweeping in
junction which the master photo en-
gravers secured against the strikers
on July 20, which practically ordered
the leaders to call off the strike. The
action of the leaders did not please
the employers and they started pro-
ceedlngs against them. stating that

LABOR IS. FOR PEACE
Says ILL. Federation

ROCK ISLAND, Ill, Dec. 23.-The
Tri-city Federation of Labor, repre-
senting the unions of Rock Island,
Davenport and Moline, has placed
itself on record as being strongly
opposed to the boy scout movement.
The federation took this stand in
view Of the formation of scout bands
In the tri-cities.
The import of the resolution adopted
by the labor federation is that the
spirit of the. boy scout movement is
military, in other words. that boys, by
the teachings of the organization, are
led to- believe that it is manly to be
warrior-like instead of peaceable.
The federation also went on record
as condemning the advocated ideas of
making it obligatory upon all young
men to. perform a certain period of
military service before being allowed
the right to vote, and Of inaugural :

STRAPS At CUT RATE
MAY PUT TRACTION
BOSS IN DISCARD

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 23.-The
mayor and board Of supervisors of
this city are about to enact an or
dlnance which will prevent the street
car companies from making profits
from "straphangers." The proposed
law will limit the fare of any passen-
: ger n OF -~pre*ide d. With.4a seat, to-
cents and thereby cause the street.
car magnates to ''voluntarily" increase
the number of their cars in service
and provide seats for all.
Supervisor Hooks is the father of
this measure which contains the
following binding clause that will no
doubt be copied in other cities:
Section l. It shall be unlawful
for any person, company or cor.
poratlon operating a street rail
road in said city and county to
charge or collect from any pas
senger on any streetcar a fare to
exceed cents unless such pas
senger shall be provided with a
seat at the time of entering and
taking a passage in the car"
The wage workers of San Fran
cisco have already voted to own and
operate one streetcar line-the Geary
Street line-and with their increasing
political power there is no doubt in
the minds of local students of munich
pal affairs that they will eventually
own and operate the city's entire
system.
Business men close to Calhoun, the
streetcar magnate, assert that he is
preparing to get rid of his interests
and return to Cleveland. The pro-
posed ''straphangers' ordinance was a.
bolt from the blue which the motor
1ous importer of strikebreakers could
not see his way to combat with his
usual methods. Cars especially con-
structed to contain minimum num-
her OF seats and a maximum amount
OF space for "straphangers'' had
been ordered from eastern compantes
and Calhoun Immediately realized
that they would have to be remodeled
at great expense. All these factors
have forced this most bitter battler
with labor unions to quietly acknowl-
edge that he Is ready Ito quit the
business"

MACH|N|STS |NSURGE
AGAINST 0'C0NNE[L

DENVER, Colo, Dec. "a re-
solution is passing from lodge to
lodge of the International Association
of Machinists which proposes, by an
amendment to their constitution to
destroy one-man power in their or
ganfzation and take from the interna-
tional president the power of appoint
ing committees.
AS this resolution requires the ap-
proval of 40 lodges it. is foregone
conclusion that the amendment will
be voted upon in the January referen-
dunn.
Machinists in this city assert that
by an overwhelming vote, and they
also declare that it will set preced-
ent by which a like reform will be
worked in the American Federation Of
Labor.
The resolution as worded by Den
Yer Lodge, No. ~, appears as follows:
Resolved. That all committees here
tofore appointed by the international
president at our general conventions
be hereafter elected direct by the del
egates- to said convention, excepting
the committee on rules, which shall
continue to be appointed by the in
ternational president and the commit
tee on law, which shall be elected by
a referendum vote: said committee to
be nominated and elected in the same
manner and at the same time as is
conducted the election Of G. L. off,

:"Resolved, That with the adoption of
the foregoing by majority vote that it

mittee to be as now set forth in Art.

addition of a provision for travelling

In their communication accompany
ing the resolution, the Denver ma
chinists point out that even the con-
gress of the United States can no
longer stomach Cannonism and that
the next speaker of tho house will
be deprived of the. power ofsappoint-
