DINING CAR WAITER
CONFESSES THEFT

Myers Barrett, seventeen year old
colored boy, charged with the theft
of china and table linen worth $40
from Northwestern railway dining
car at GAINESVILLE, was sentenced to psy
fine of 500 and costs or six months
imprisonment. If the boys relatives
and friends are not able to pay his
fine he will probably be sent to the
state reformatory at Green Bay as it is
not deemed advisable to sentence him
under a labor CO Commitment.
In reply to the questions of Judge
Maxfeld, Barrett stated that he had
worked for the Northwestern railway
as dining car waiter, for about nine
months, and that all the articles with
which he was charged to have stolen
were taken by him on October 4. His
father is window washer and he has
four brothers and three sisters.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way was represented by w. D. Beck,
superinten dent of che division of din
log and parlor cars; Frank MulIady,
captain of the police of the North
western terminal; and r. Palmeter,
conductor of the dining car on which
Barrett had worked. James S Smi b
and Ray V. Jacobs, employees of the
American Express company at Chi
cage, were summoned as witnesses for
the state, but their testimony was not
required.

TO INVESTIGATE
COPPER STRIKE

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-An appeal TO con-
gress TO investigate conditions In the
copper country OF Michigan was made TO-
day by the Chicago Federation OF Labor
IN resolutions which directly charged
owners or the mines and their agents
with being responsible tor the tragedy

owners and that Charles n. Meyer. presi-

OF Hancock by thugs and gunner.
