 Be Delay in the
 Trial

Emer- son, president of the Brotherhood of Tim Der Workers, and one of the defendants. stood while making his labor speech pre- ceding the battle. It failed, however. when H. o. Barron. mill employe at Derider on the stand, tried to secure testi- mony that the union men went from Derider to Grabow with the intention of making trouble.

Be- sides their wives they have l37 chill d en. Some of the single men have dependents so that the number of those for whom the union men have provided Is brought to more than 200
 Joe Genusia, a member of the Broth . erhood of Timber Workers, and one of those who. went with President Elm erson to the labor meetings the day of the battle. testified that Emerson, while on the road to Bon Ami. said. We are going to Bon Ami and Carson; if they try to break up the meeting shoo, them"
