Weidler charged Koontz and three
other labor men, one a discharged
employe of his, with responsibility
for the labor attack on him and as
serted his belief that more union men
were at the Auditorium meeting lis
tening 10 him than there were at the
Elks' temple meeting.
Announcement was made at the
end of the meeting that only 90 men
attended the labor meeting and
Weidler exclaimed. That's the best
tribute 10 organized labor 1 have
heard. 1t shows their real senti-
ments."
Several candidates for other offices
spoke at the meeting, including Otis
ROmine and Joseph Gluck, candidates
for Judge; Harvey ROstizer, candidate
for clerk; and Penrod. Austin, McCul-
lougN and Collins, candidates for the
council.
Romine charged that there was
a Joyce slate" Rostiser said he had
been in the CITY clerks office for ten
years ass deputy and felt qualified TO
do the work as chief.
Joyce men held their final meeting
at sos s. CcOtt St, with Joyce and
Rep. George w. Sands as speakers.
A fair sized audience attended the
anti Weidler meeting held under the
auspices of the Federation of Labor
in the Elks' temple Tuesday evening,
when several speakers attacked the
candidate on the ground that his
record shows him unfriendly TO union
labor. Charles KOontZ, president of
the federation, presided.
j. r. Morrisey and w. +. Trippeer
of Peru, Ind, chairman and secretary
respectively of the state Brotherhood
of Engineers and Firemen, who had
been in South Bend since Monday,
made addresses.
The labor men registered an indig
nant denial to charges made by
Weidler against Fred Feick of Garrett.
Ind, chairman of the legislative
board of the state Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen. The labor men
declared that Weidler's charge that
they were under the dictation of Tom
Taggart and that the latter had form
ulated their list Of legislators whom
they declared unfriendly to union
labor is false.
That is not true" said Morrisey.
I'VE are in South Bend to show the
people Weidler's labor record. He
must stand on his own acts"
Feick himself was unable TO attend
the meeting, sending a telegram that
important business in Washington de-
tanned him. Feick stated in the mes
sage that if Weidler were nominated
the labor men, not only OF the city,
but OF the state would oppose him in
the campaign for election.

At moments the scene enacted be-

accused is a little woman, neither
pretty nor plain. As she told her
story. her voice at times sank TO an
almost inaudibIe pitch and at others
rose to a shrek as she insisted that
the young priest committed suicide
Her story rernsined unshaken un-

presiding judge who declared that she
had murdered the man in order to
obtain notOriety.

Many Letters Presented.
The letters contained illuminating
details Of the methods Of the Nation
al Association Of Manufacturers
agents in their opposition TO anti-in-
junction bills. the bill creating the
present department OF labor, bills
providing for jury trial of contempt
cases, and other legislation urged by
organized labor. The list of letters
presented Tuesday was about half of
those called from Emery's files by
the committee. They were written by
orr to Kirby, Martin Nj. Mulhall, G.
w. Post Daniel Davenport former
NJ. Parry of Indianapolis. George S.
Boudinot secretary Of the National
Association Of Manufacturers, and II.
S. Chamberlain of Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Mulhall letters presented re-
lated to Col. MulhalIs activities in
the campaign Of Rep. jenkins of
Wisconsin for reelection in 1908. The
letters of former Rep. Moon related
70 a controversy with Emery over leg
tel he an f~fo =

Moon was chairman of the committee.
At the morning session, the COM
mittee briefly examined Louis Sci

prepared the Mulhall charges for
publication. Tomorrow the commit
tee hopes to secure Mulhall and to
send Emery back to the senate COM
mittee which is about to begin the
examination OF the officials of the
National Association Of Manufac-
turers.
