B0NN0T SHOT TO FRAGMENTS Leader of French Bandits Sur yived Wounds Some
 Hours Outpouring in Paris Today at Funeral of His Notable
 Victim

Paris, April 29.-The funeral Of Assistant Superintendent Jouin, of the Paris detective force, victim of the first clash with Bonnot, leader Of the Phantom bandits" who was himself killed in a battle with the police, yes- terday, took place today. It was made the occasion for a. remarkable turnout of the comrades of the mur- dered officer and for one of those peculiar manifestations characteristic of the versatile French.
 The passage of the cortege through the streets was witnessed by an enor- nous crowd and men and women gave violent utterance to sentiments of grief although most of them had scoffed at the dead mans efforts in life.
 At the Dieu Hospital, where the bandit Bcnnot died after being brought in terribly wounded from the battle of Choisey Le Roof, the off, f1cials were outspoken, today. in their wonder that he had lived at all after his first injury. Bonnot was able to talk, however, snarl and yell his de- en and did not cease his efforts to make himself heard until he became unconscious from loss of blood. The search, today, is being pushed by the police to find Garnfer, Bon not's companion. That .Bonnot and his aide, Dubois, proprietor of the garage in which both later met death, should have been able to with stand the assault of some. 2.0O0 arm ed men, including detachIhents of the Republican guard, corps of en- gineers and a detachment of artillery amazed everyone and there was a general disposition to criticise the of f1cials for this fact.
 Superintendent Lepine accepted all responsibility. He stated emphatical- ly, today, that the two criminals had cost enough in human life and he did not intend to permit them to "glorify themselves in the eyes of the underworld" by adding number of additional victims to their list in their last moments.
 s1 wanted these men and I got them without unnecessary blood she'd" declared tho veteran thief taker. this afternoon. Tho police hoped to round up the remaining members of the band, including Garnier, some time tonight, as they claim to have good clues regarding their whereabouts.

Dissolution Of
 Harvester Trust Department of Justice to Begin Proceedings Tomorrow
 in St. Paul

Washington, April 29-Suit to dis solve the Internati tional Harvester Company will be brought in the Uni ted States Court, in St. Paul, Minn.. tomorrow, according to an announce ment made today at the department of justice.
 Decision to file the suit tomorrow the day of the Massachusetts primar- ies is believed to have been reached at a conference held between Presi- dent Taft and Attorney General Vic kersham at the White House during the Presidents brief Sunday stay in Washington.
 Until the bill praying for judicial order for the harvester dissolution appears in court, details are to be kept secret. Much guessing has been indulged in as to the number of com panies to which the government will ask the harvester company be cut down
 It is announced that determination to file the suit follows the inability of the government and the harvester company's legal representatives to agree on terms of voluntary disselu ton, discussion Of which has occupied several months. The harvester trust will now contest the suit, according to the belief of department of justice officials If agreement had been reached the filing of the suit and the isuance of a decree would have been perfunctory matters.

Third Party Ignored
LabOr's Proper Rights

borers in the iron and steel business
are foreigners of these classes, the
profits of this system going to the
clared that the immediate and con-
tinuing result of the steel trusts tri-
umph over organized labor has been
an extensive system of espionage and
repression. Through detectives it has
Swallowed its own employees as if they
were insidious enemies; and has
picked of, one by one, any men in
whom unionism was detected or sus-
pected. AS John Fitch, who testified
before the Stanley committee, says:
The fact is the steel workers do not
dare openly express their convic-
tons"
Mr.. Brandeis then shows how es-
pionage and discharge as trust meth,
cd of subjugating labor is supplement-
ed by the subtler and gentler uevice
of welfare work." This corporation
has made strides in introducing safe
~ appliances, reducing the seven-day
week. providing compensation for &C.

TEN, but Its compensation and pen
sion schemes are SO devised" he de:
clares, "as to rob the detached work
man of an all powerful corporation OF
what glimmer of freedom and indie.
pendence remained" new form OF
peonage was created.
| Mr.. Braldeis quotes, in giving the
result of this labor policy, Judge Gary
chairman of the steel corporation, as
follows:
Il believe, taking everything into &C.
count. the treatment accorded by our
corporation to its employees compares
tavorably with that OF any kind of in
dustry in this country, or in any other
country at the present time OF at any
period ii the history of the world
Judge Gary's testimony, says Mr.
Brandeis, is confirmed by George W
Perkins, chairman Of the finance com
mlttees of the steel trust and the
harvester trust, who is now chair
man of the executive committee of the
new party and the head of it's in
dustrial department a man who might
be called the father of trusts" be
cause of his associations with j. p
Morgan & Co, and his activity il or
ganizing industrial combinations. Mr.
Perkins is now a defendant in the
government suits against the stee
and harvester trusts.
Mr.. Brandeis goes on to show the
uhenviable condition of the steel anC
iron workers with respect to hours o
labor. wages, and the trust f1ea O
. profit sharing, and questions whether
the labor laws proposed by the new
party would be declared constitution
al. His conclusion is that, in the fac,
of these facts, every working mai
should vote for Wilson and the demo
cratic party.
