Chicago, Feb. 14.-R A. Russell, manager of the beef sales department of Armour & company, admitted while testifying in the packers trial today that he at times ordered flat increases and reduction in prices of dressed meat regardless of the quality or grade of the. product
 At first when questioned by govern ment counsel Russell denied ever hay ing ordered any flat changes in price, but moment later he changed his answer and admitted the practice when the following telegram was read to the jury:
 Chicago, July Is, 1910. Raulerson, New York: Re Elizabeth 9S5O. I wired you early this week that request to branch houses will be changed and we would add 25 instead of 90 cents. H. A. Russell"

SAYS LABOR UNIONS
 ARE UN AMERICAN Steel Trust Director Asserts That They Are an Imported Institution.

Washington. Feb. 15-Pervical Rob- erts, IT., a director of the United States Steel corporation, told the Stanley steel investigating committee today that his company would like to see labor unions under the same gov ernmental control as corporations. Trade unions in this country he de- nounced as "Un-American."
 T see no reason said Mir. Roberts, why men should not combine to dis pose of their labor just as men com bine to use capital, provided that both are under governmental control and that full liability is imposed on labor organizations for all their undertak- ings and that neither side has any monopolistic tendencies. The difficulty with labor organizations is that their first requirement is monopolistlc. They demand The closed shop. which is a monopoly and there is no law in this country to prevent the closed shop Neither is there any law providing ia- bility upon labor unions regarding contracts.
 The average labor union is in no sense an American institution. The idea Is imported and has no place in the institutions of this country"
 Mir. Roberts made an exception of railroad labor organizations, which, he said. were entirely different from the manufacturing organizations.

ETToR AN ADVOCATE
 OF LAW AND ORDER
Tenor of Testimony in Defence pf
 Lawrence Strike Leader.

Lawrence, MasE-, Feb 1.-The pros ecution rested and the defence began the introduction of testimony today in the hearing in the district court of Joseph J. Ettor and Arturo Giovan- nitH, charged with being accessories before the fact to the murder of Anna Lopizzi during a riot of textile strik- CTS and their sympathizers in this city on January g. It is expected tha4 the defense will occupy the whole of to- morrow, and possibly longer.
 The defense called as it's first wit nesses Gilbert V. Smith, secretary of the local branch of the Industr Workers of the World, the ortla1t tiza- ton which conducted the strike; 4. H. Adameon, recording secretary of. the finance commission of the strike dom- rnittee; Edward Riley, chairman of the English speaking strikers rblief com- mittee, and William Yates of New Bed- ford, who has assumed charge of the strike since EHtor's arrest. All testi- fled that at the meetings of the strike committee and public meetings Ettor never had counselled violence. MT. Smith was questioned regarding the principles of the Industrial Workers of the World.
 He said that its leading principles were the abolition of the wage sys- tenn and the betterTnent of the condi- ton of the working people in organ izatiOn and education. Its members believed, he said. that property should be owned by society. Asked how the organization proposed to abolish the wage system. Mir. Smith said that the method would be to organize the work ing class and take active part in pOli- tics; they proposed to bring about the conditions they desired through leg islation. Ettor. said the witness, al- ways advocated law and order in his speeches and conversations.
