designed to give to boys that love of
nature that experience in the woods

Steel TRUST
OPPOSED TO
THE UNIONS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRB.l


indianapolis, Ind, June 16.-|
Charging that secret agents Of the
United States steel corporation once
offered him money to betray the
structural iron workers and assail-
ing the National ErectOrs' associa-
ton, John J. Mcnamara, now in jail
in Los Angeles, charged with mur-
der in connection with the alleged
dynamiting OF the Los Angeles
Times, reiterated his innocence in a
letter appearing In the current issue
of the Brdgemen's Magazine. The
letter connects the steel trust with
the fight against the unions.
First we notice that the Amerl-
can Bridge company which Is not
only the backbone Of the National
Erectors association, but IS also the
erection department Of the steel cor
poration, is the most ruthless organ
zation of capital in the world, the
letter says. "The plan is now and
has been since It's inception to throt-
tie competition and crush and cruci-
fv its employees, meanwhile main
tanning such control Of the steel IN
dustry as to defy even the federal
government
while perfectlng its own organ
ization." the letter continues The
steel corporation always opposed
apy form of organization among It's
employees and never overlooked an
opportunity to crush or defeat any
! collective movements among them.
The letter says that an official OF
the American Bridge company as.
serted in 1906 that the Structural
Iron Workers organization would be
fought off the face Of the earth.

Washington, June 16.-Henry T.
Oxnard, of California, president Of
the American Beet Sugar company,
testified today before the Hardwick
sugar investigating committee. He
said that he, with his brothers, ROD
ert, James and Benjamin, organized
the sugar refinery in Brooklyn in
1876. 1t was incorporated for $780,
900 capital in 1887, and entered the
sugar trust the same year.
"The capital was purely nominal" !"
he said. "The plant was worth
5000 900, and when offered to the
trust and my brothers received
$75O,OOO in trust certificates. Sub
seuuently we sold the trust certiti-
Gates at TO-"
He acknowledged that there was
$500 900 of profit in the transaction.
Two of his brothers, he said, con-
tinued with the trust when they sold
their certificates, while he entered
the beet sugar business in Nebraska,
controlling six factories, capitalized
at $20,000,000.
Oxnard testified that an agreement
was reached between the American
Sugar Refining company and the
beet sugar manufacturers in 1907.
giving the trust control over the out
Dut of the beet sugar factories. The
express purpose of the agreement, he
said, was to prevent either party
from selling in the markets of the
other and to prevent rate cutting. He
declared that lawyers advised him
that the contract did not violate the
provisions of the Sherman law. In
1909 when Colonel Duval was chosen
president of the American Beet Su-
gar company he said, he concluded
that the contract was illegal and dis

"Mr. Voter: On account of the
great damage done to the city of Sa-

struction of practically all of the

of Police Sanford, leading his men
back towards Vallejo, was informed
that Melville had been seen near
there late last night. His men again
took up the hunt. Up to noon their
search had been fruitless.
Is Stealthy One.
Melville, who escaped by crawling
down dry creek bed yesterday
morning, just after an attempted sor-
tie had been stopped by fusilade Of
bullets from the revolver of Sheriff
Veale, made his way to the Three
Mile House, where he staid for
more than an hour; saying he plan
ned to leave the country at once.
Mrs. Adolph Struble, to whom he
talked, did not send word of his visit
to Vallejo until last night, and the
posse was not informed until this
morning.
When he appeared at the Three
Mile House, late yesterday after
noon, according to Mrs. Strubel,
Melville seemed Nhlghly elated over
his escape, and appeared to c0nsld-
er the whole affair a lark. He was
not wounded and seemed to be in
good spirits, and little fatigued. He
displayed the three revolvers which
the police had asserted he carried,
and remarked that he still had plenty
of ammunition.
CrawIed Down Creek Bed.
He laughed as he told how he
crawled down dry creek bed, which
was sheltered by bushes, and led
from point near his hiding place
through the lines of the posses into
the broken country at the foot of the
hill. He planned his escape, ac-
cording to Mrs. Strubel, soon after
an attempted sortle was cut off by
volley Of bullets from the revolver
of Sheriff Veale, Of Contra Costa
county, who was in motor boat Off
Glencoe. The lad said that he was
convinced that escape In the open
was impossible, and at once planned
to evade the posse by stealth. He
left his hiding place at about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, and had
succeeded in getting into the creek
bed unobseved. He crawled clowly
down the hill and waited until he
was sure he was unobserved before
he made his way to the Three-Mile
House.

Vallejo, Cal, June 16.-Fred
Melville, boy bandit, was captured
today at Benicia. He was arrested
by Constable Billy Hyde. The lad,
wounded in the shoulder and side,
crept into Benicia quietly last night
and secured room at an obscure
lodging house. He went at once to
his room. Although he was evident
ly weary, the proprietor of the place
noted little strange about his appear
ance. This morning the boy did not
come from his room. Then the
proprietor went up and found him
evidently suffering great pain from
the wounds. The proprietor said he
would get help, and, leaving the
house, found Constable Hyde and
told him he thought the young man
was the boy bandit. Hyde went to
the lodging house. made his way to
the room, and arrested the boy. He
asserted that the lad admitted that
he was Melville.
Much of the bravado that has
marked his career of late has van
ished, and the boy is said to present
a pltiable spectacle His wounds are
not believed to be serious, though
they are very painful.
The arrest was made shortly be-
fore noon.
