ed with conspiracy In two different
counts and with embezzlement in an

from the start that they were not to

TRY DAMAGE SUIT
Jury ImpaneIled to Pass on
Claim Of Frank Bertelson
for Injury.
AGAINST PLOW COMPANY
5000 Asked for Hurts Alleged to
Have Been Received in Stun
bling Over Truck.

Trial of the damage suit for
So, 900 brought by Frank H. BerteI-
sen against the Rock Island Pillow
company was commenced in the cir
cult court this morning before Judge
F. D. Ramsay. The forenoon was
spent in securing a Jury and the TAX
ing Of testimony was begun just be-
fore noon. 1t is expected that the
case will occupy the greater part
of the remainder Of the week. The
plaintiff bases his claim for damages
upon the fact that he sustained SER
ious injuries while in the employ of
the company Oct. IL, 1907. While
walking through a dark passageway
between two departments he STUN
bled over a truck which had been
left there by another employee and
sustained injuries which resulted in
a rupture. S. r. Kenworthy appears
for him and the corporation is rep
resented by the firm of Searle &
Marshall.
Old Case Nearly Settled.
The case of the Western Catholic
union against Jennie and Carrie
Murrln was brought TO close today
in the branch court by an order
from Judge w. H. Gest. The case
is one in which the insurance COM
pany was held dGubIy liable, both
Jennie Murrin and Carrie Murrin
claiming to be the beneficiaries of
the death claim of the deceased, John
Murrin. The former was the sister
of the deceased and the latter the
wife. The master in chancery and
the circuit court had held that both
would have to be paid in the amount
of $4,000, but the appellate court
reversed this decision. Accordingly
the sum has been turned over to the
court and it is now up to the two
claimants to decide which of them
is entitled TO the money. The in
surance company is thus cleared of
responsibility in the matter.

Chicago Philanthropist Reviews
Labor Conditions Before the
Morning Session of Illinois
State Federation.
PROTECTION FOR FAMILY
With Expensive Legal Trials and
Guarantee to All of Manned
and Killed Financial Aid.

The sessions of the convention of
the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor were continued this morning at
Industrial hall. The interest mani
tested by the delegates was greater
than displayed yesterday. The at
tendance has been increased mater
tally by the arrival Of delegations
from cities through the state.
This morning Vice President Fitz-
gerald OF the state organization, pre-
sided. J. E. Williams of Streator
was the first speaker. After the
Cherry mine disaster last winter Mr..
Williams was selected as an arbi-
traitor Of the miners union to confer
with the mine owners and secure
compensation for the loss of life in
the disaster. Mr.. Williams told Of
his work in this line in his address.
Raymond Robins, Chicago phil
anthropist, who for years has been
one OF the foremost leaders of the
labor cause of the country, was the
only other speaker on the program
this morning. He said in part:
This Is a convention of encour-
egement and good cheer for the Ia
Dor classes Of this state" he said,
''for during the past year there has
been much progress and advance
ment In the organization of labor.
Much has been done for the protec-
ton and defense of the toilers, and
we must remember that it has all
oome~about after strenuous effort on
the part of the workers. The miners
strike Of six months standing has
been settled and is a triumph for
the workers. Power has been ma
terially advanced by action of the
legislature
Shirt Workers Strike.
Mr.. Robins told of the shirtwaist
and garment workers strike in New
York and also said that they were
The two biggest strikes in the his
tory of labor in the United States.
He stated that these were educa-
tional strikes and brought out all
supporters. In the case of the gar
mept workers, a basis of settlement
was brought about which was advan-
tageous to all. The strike was set
tied and a preferential shop is
now being conducted. A prefer
entail shop is one in which the
union worker has the preference
over Otner LABOR ana that morgan
ICED labor is employed only when or
ganized labor cannot be secured
81 would advise you to work for the
closed shop, fellowmen, but in case
you cannot get that, take the prefer
entail shop, for under those condi-
tions you practically have a closed
shop.
I'VE have won these battles for
women and in so doing have forti-
fed ourselves. For when we can
uphold the standard of wages for
women and keep them on a par with
those OF the men the women will not
supplant the men when it comes to
handling the machine jobs Of the big
factories.
For Compensation Law.
my friends, I am III favor of a
workmen's compensation. Under
such an enactment. when a man is
injured or is killed. he or his heirs
have direct recourse and do not have
to carry legal fights through all of
the courts to secure real money. We
want the largest amount of money
