WAR ON PRINTING TRADES.

Portland, Ore, Oct~ 24.-From in
formation secured it is apparent that
the Employers Association is actively
engaged in an effort to crush the Al
lied Printing Trades Council of this
city. The association is lending every
possible assistance to thel ocal branch
of the Union Typothetae, which COM
prises nearly all the master printers
in Portland. It will be remembered
that recently the pressmen of num-
Der of concerns struck for higher
wages, and then followed lockout Of

APPEALLNG no GOVERNOR.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4.-Represen-
tatives of the Central Labor Union Of
this city, and active labor men in this
section, held an interview with the
Governor of he state in regard to the
Thompsonyille. It will be remembered
treatmen accorded Organizer Miles in
that Organizer Miles was shot att and
roughly handled by supposed tough
men of the Hartford Carpet Company,
with view to discouraging the efforts
to organize the people employed in
the carpet factories. The result of the
antagonism toward labor organizers
has intensified the situation, the en-
ployes being favorably disposed to-
ward unionizing the entire plant. Eff
forts are to be continued to secure a
large membership among the carpet
workers, and arrangements are being
made to give oganizers adequate pro-
lection against company detectives and
thugs.

On the 23rd of August Spenst sue
ceeded in forcing hearing of his case
when Notwithstanding the fact that the
state had had fifteen days in which to
gather evidence against him, not one
single bit of testimony amounting to
anything like proof of the charge, was
presented at said hearing, and the
justice of the peace, upon motion. made
after the state had rested its case, very
properly dismissed the action for utter
lack of evidence, and ordered the de-
fendant discharged from custody.
On August 2lst, just two days before
the hearing on the 23rd above referred
to, when it is reasonable to assume that
the state was aware that the allegations
against the defendant were mere sup
positions, incapable of proof, an applica-
tlen was made by the states attorneys
Office, based upon practically the same
allegations of facts as that upon which
Spenst had been arrested two weeks
before, asking for an order from the
Hon. A. G. Burr, Judge of the Ninth
judicial district, for bench warrant for
the arrest of said Spenst that he might
be held for sentence Notwithstanding
the further fact that more than thirty
days had elapsed from the time of the
making by his honor Judge Kneeshaw
of the order suspending sentence made
on July Goth 1912, and that the court
was without jurisdiction in the premises
under the provisions of Section 1882 of
the prohibition law, and the general
principles of the law governing the
liberty of the citizen.
The reason assigned by his honor
Judge Cowan for granting the writ and
discharging the defendant and which
we submit is unanswerable was, that
the said court has no jurisdiction over
the person OF the said defendant in
the proceedings in which said defen-
dant is now held in custody"
We very much dislike entering into
hO"opoPS1 NOAGioFC oSOA SuSu 1loo-
ters, but feel in justice to ourselves, to
the law and to the fearless performance
of duty by the courts, that the public
are entitled to know the real factsand the
real issue. In further justice to our
selves and the court granting the writ,
be 1t further understood that we first
endeavored to find the judge of our own
district, his honor Judge Kneeshaw, bu t
learning that he was absent from the
jurisdiction, We then attempted to find
his honor Judge Bruce of the supreme
court at Grand Forks, failing to find
him we then applied to the next nearest
judge, namely, Judge Cowan, whom we
we're informed was authorized to act for
Judge Kneeshaw in his absence. We
would gladly have gone to Judge Burr
but the distance was much greater, and
we say here and now that the result
would have been the same. Our posi-
ton was unanswerable and the court
having the courage to pronouce the law
as it is ought to be objects OF COM
mendation rather than OF censure.
Respectfully,

COMMUNICATION
Editor Courier-Demoorat: :

Editor Courier-Demoorat:
In last weeks issue of the Cavalier
County Republican, of date Sept. 5th,
1912, there appears an unsigned article
entitled, "Kneeshaw and Burr Reyers.
ed" IN which both the law and the
facts involved are greatly misrepresent
ed, which aided dy suggestion and
innuendo leaves it's readers. un
acquainted with the real facts, to pass
very unjust judgment upon the court,
the Hon. John F. Cowan. in his grant
ing writ of habeas corpus on behalf OF
Jacob Spenst.
In the first place the sensational title
given to the article in question, viz:
"Kneeshaw and Burr Reversed" is a
misnomer and bespeaks very limited
knowledge of the law of "habeas corpus"
on the part of the person by whom said
article was inspired. The granting or
denial Of writ of habeas corpus by one
Judge of the district court is not in
the legal sense reversal of the order
or judgment of another court. Neither
is proceeding in habeas corpus the
subject of appeal in this and many other
states, nor is there any great illegal
tangle" involved in the matter. The
writ of habeas corpus is essentially a
writ of inquiry, and in aid of right and
Liberty and the one object of which, is to
relieve the party detained from an
illegal restraint.
In the second place and most i'm
portant is the fact that the article in
question does not disclose the facts and
circumstances which led up to the ap-
plication for the writ in question and in
the face of which denial of the writ of
habeascorpus would nave been aposit We
wrong and corruption of the law.
The real and material facts we're brief
ly HIS follows: On July 10th 1912 an in.
formation was filed in district court
charging the defendant Spenst with q
violation of the prohibition law,to which
Information plea of "guilty" was en-
tered.
On July Goth 1912 the said Spenst
appeared for sentence, when upon re-
commendation of the states attorney
sentence was suspended indefniately
and Spenst was discharged from custody
first being required to sign the pledgt
and enter into personal recognizanc'
in the sum of $500 for his appearance
when called upon.
On August 9Th 1912, said Jacol
Spenst was arrested upon a complain
by states attorney charging him will
the crime of keeping Intoxicating liquo
for sale unlawfully as beverage, and t.
which was also added an allegation
charging him with breaking his pledge
On the said Sth day of August thesai,
Spenst was placed in the common jai
os the county and kept there in clos
custody for period of twelve days
without ever having been taken befor,
justice of the peace for arraingemen
or given any opportunity to have hear
ing upon the charge upon which he hae
