Heavy Damages Against the Trust.
A New Orleans dispatch under
date of Jan 4th says:
Charging violations of the Sher-
man antitrust laws, the PEOPLES
Tobacco Company of New Orleans.
late to-day instituted civil action in
the United States District Court
against the American Tobacco Com
pany, for damages and penalties pro-
vided by the antitrust law in the
sum of $521,19S0S. The suit is
one of the biggest of its kind on
record here.
The Peoples Company, in its pc
tition, cites that il was chartered un-
der the louisiana laws in 1896 with
its domicile at New Orleans. For
several years, it is stated. the COM
pany transacted an extensive business
and in 1908 the profits amounted to
s4O,3s3.43.
The petition alleges these losses
resulted from a conspiracy of the
American Tobacco Company to in
jure the business Of the Peoples
Company aong with other indepen-
dent concerns. 1t is alleged that the
American was assisted in this effort
by the Craft Tobacco Company
The Peoples Company asks the
court to grant not only $130.2ss.77
actual damages alleged. but also the
punitive amount authorized under
the antitrust laws"

q During the session OF the commit

cratic politicians. which made the

No Word Against the Pension Steal.
1t was noticeable that in all this
throng OF politicians that not one
was heard to say a single word pub
liely or privately against the great
Democratic pension steal of seventy
five million dollars.
1t is certain that there is not a
single one in the great throng of
Democratic politicians here who have
not for forty years, or as long as
they have been old enough, de-
nounced the Republican party In ev-
cry campaign for it's extravaganza in
voting the peoples money in sums
too large for pensions for, Union sol
fiers, and yet to-day, of all of this
rong of hopeful and enthusiastic
mocratic politicians, there is not
0de to raise his voice against this
great steal, simply because each one
feels that it might help to buy the
election for his party.

COMMUNICATIVE Burns on the
stand.
Ortie Z. McManigal, the confessed
accomplice of John ]. and James B.
Mcnamara is now before the Federal
Grand Jury at Indianapolis. 1t is
believed that he has implicated sew
eral others besides the McNamaras
in the blowing up of more than one
hundred "open shop" structures in
various sections Of the country. De-
tective Burns, who caused the arrest
Of McManigal and the McNamaras
was before the Grand Jury a few
days ago to give further testimony in
other dynamiting cases, but what he
related to the Grand Jury has not
been made public.
That McManigal will be kept in at
tendance on the grand jury for ten
days or two weeks was indicated by
the intention of United States Attor-
ney Charles w. Miller to have him
repeat his confession orally and to
uOSSiluc Will
his relations with others in his dyna-
hitting expositions, from the time he
first blew up structure in Detroit
in June, 1907, down to his activities
in the same business on the Pacific
Coast.
McManigal profess to have person
al knowledge Of at least thirty of the
explosions which destroyed viaducts.
bridges and other structures erected
by firms employing non-union men.
His testimony is to be taken not so
much to show the completely OF the
McNamaras, since they already have
been convicted, as to bring out the
guilt of others, if there are any, who
gave financial support to or partici
pated in the crimes.
The grand jury has devoted much
attention to witnesses from Tifin,
Ohio, where last April $40 pounds Of
dynamite were found by detectives
stored in a barn in the rear of the
home of James L. McManiga1, father
of Ortie. This was one Of the stores |
from which Ortie MeManigal and Jas. |
Mcnamara replenished their supply |
of explosives when they started out
to do "jobs" in Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio. Indiana. or Illinois.
