UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Corvallis, Or, April 24.-slow pro-
gress was made today in the selec-

Charles Humphrey, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Eliza Griffith near
Philomath last June Three tempor-
airy jurors were accepted in the
forenoon, making a total of nine.
The remaining thre eprobably will be
obtained before the close of court
this afternoon.
Neither of the brothers, who are
alleged to have slain. three others be-
sides Mrs. Griffith, seemed to take
but little interest in the proceedings.
They hardly glanced at the talesmen
as they took their seats in the box to
be examined as to their qualifications.
The taking of evidence probably
will be begun tomorrow.

The association is also ~endeavoring
to secure in factories and workshops
more adequate lighting and more gen

all, the association desires to extend
knowledge on the subject and enlist
the cooperation of all who through in.

occupation can aid in preventing the
unnecessary loss of eyes through care

"Under the guise of protecting American

but, after grinding their faces in a manner not

combinations, throw them at forty years of
age, old men. on the scrap heap.

steel workers work y hours or more a week;
about third work more than y hours, and
a fourth - hours day for seven days a

there is considerable of the latter still in force,

unwittingly admits that Brandeis' charges are
true-in trying to defend the Steel Trust,
Judge Gary enters plea Of guilty.
Who believes that the employees Of the Steel
Trust would work twelve hours day if they
could make living by working eight hours?
The Steel Trust employs mostly ignorant
foreigners, and from the time they enter one
of the plants Of the Steel Trust until they are
ready to throw the junk heap they are

comparison with the Steel Trusts system, and,
as Mr. Brandeis charges. they are old worn

they are cast aside as human Junk.
BY this method the Steel Trust has accu-
mulated millions of dollars-by this method
it has wrecked thousands of human lives.
