EXPECTS
PRISON SENTENCE
Bull Mooser Believes Government
Will Not Rest Until He Is
In Penitentiary.

CHICAGO, June 2e.-Afer he had
undergone a sever grilling in the
hearing of the government suit
against the International Harvester
company, George w. Perkins, former
partner of the late J. P. Morgan,
declared his firm belief that he would
be prosecuted for criminal violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Il firmly believe that 1 am on my
way to the penitentiary,' said the
financier after he had left the wit
ness stand, where he engaged in a.
long tilt with Edward P. Grosvenor,
special government prosecutor.
THAT is the policy of the Amer
lean government toward it's corpora
tons. It discourages industry and
believes in failing the men who cre-
ated it's INDUSTRIES
Perkins, the moving spirit behind
the gigantic International Harvester
merger, declared over and over again
in the hearing before Special Exam
liner Taylor that the corporation was
formed for the purpose of capturing
the foreign trade in Harvester pro-
ducts and not to monopolize the
business in America. To capture that
foreign trade, he said, it was neces-
sary to make loans to peasant farm
ers in Europe and to make these
loans only a big corporation could
get financial backing.
Mr.. Jones of Canada organized
the Massey-Harris company for the
same purpose for which I organized
the International Harvester said
Perkins, land he was knighted by the
British government. That is the at
titude of the British government to-
ward enterprise. Nearly every gov
eminent but the American recognizes
valuable services Of business men and
rewards Them
Calls Government Discourteous.
What has been matter of con-
discourteous attitude the government
has maintained toward me since the
beginning of the trial. he declared.
II was never so surprised in my life
as when the government closed it's
case without calling on me. The only
course then left to me was to go on
the stand of my own volition. The
moment I took the stand the prose-
cutor warned me that anything I may
say may be used against me in a
criminal suit which may follow.
II went on the stand voluntarily
and the government took every ad-
vantage Of me on cross examinat ton
as II I had already been criminally
indicted and by every insinuation and
innuendo attempted to reflect on my
integrity and cast doubt on my testi-
mony."
Mr.. Perkins denied on the stand
that the Harvester corporation con-
troll Of IS per cent of the trade was
motive in it's organization. He said
the main idea was to boom foreign
trade. He denied that onlv $4,000, 900
Of cash was used to acquire proper
ties later capitalized at $40, 900, 900.
Mr.. Perkins said he and his wife
had large amounts of the stock, but
objected to having the government
prosecutor go into his private affairs
in public.

STRIKE OF CARMEN
:. NOT FOUGHT IN Vain
General Manager Warren Finally
Grants Demands Made by
Strikers Last September.

The street car men who went out
on strike last September for an in
crease in wages and a REIMBURSEMENT
of working hours, after all did not
strike i'll vain. While many of the. boys
lost their jobs, and few of. them enjoy
the sacrifices. they made, the company
has at last practically recognized the
justice of their demands.
On Tuesday of this week General
Manager Herbert Warren announced
through the daily press that the
spread of duty had been considerably
reduced. The spread has been re-
duced from II hours to IL hours and
SO minutes. This is within 80 minutes
Of the time asked for by the striking
carmen.
They also asked that students re-
ceive 10 cents an hour where they
had been receiving no wages for their
service. This demand has been
|granted by Mr.. Warren although
some what tardy.
An Increase in wages was granted
last summer. The wage question was
not an issue in the strike. So after
all the strike of the carmen has been
won like most strikes ultimately are,
although the men who waged the
contest have lost their Jobs for no
other reason than that they asserted
their manhood which seems to be
treason with the management Of the
street railway company.

SUPERIOR RED LIGHT
DISTRICT GOES TOO
Wisconsin Governor Signs Senator
Linley's Measure Aimed at
Immoral Resorts.

The Linley Injunction bill providing
for the condemnation of houses Of ILL
fame as legal nuisances and their
abatement for any immoral purpose,
was signed by Governor McGovern on
Saturday.
The bill Is similar in many respects
to the Minnesota injunction law under
which the Duluth redlight district was
~elosed up.
III commenting on the measure Mr.,
Linley' said today, II do not know
whether or not advantage will be
taken of the law, but by it an effec-
tive means of coping with the social
evil Is provided. The measure re-
ceived no backing from local people
and Tor that reason I do not know
If 1t will be used or not
The measure which became a law
when signed by the governor Saturday
was introduced by Senator Linley.
early in January. shortly after the
legislature opened. and before even
the Minnesota law was laid before
the Minnesota Legislature.
Under the new injunction law it Is
possible for any person to secure an
injunction against a building sup
posed to be used for immoral pur-
poses, enjeining It's uso tor that pur-
pose. The owner then must post
bonds to guarantee that it will not be
30 used, OR in default Of bonds the
building must not be used for any
purpose for the period Of one year.
In event the order Of tho court is
dlsobeyed, the bond is forfeited, or
where no bond Is given, tho building
may be sold. Also the owner is open
to punishment for eohtempt of Court.
