The 33 iron workers incar
IN the Leavenworth prison are to be
admitted to bail, pending hearing in
whether or not there were errors in
their trial. And lit" is a high bail,
too-unwarrantably high.
One would think the offense was
more than carrying dynamite on a
railroad train from a town in Ohio
to another town in Indiana, that is
if the amount of bail is taken into
consideration.
Men charged with more serious Of
fenses against the peace and dig
nifty" of the United States have been
permitted to be at liberty pending
the final disposition of their cases
with considerably less bond money re-
quired.
But these kind of offenders were
not workingmen, at least they were
not members of a trade union. Some
were bankers who misappropriated
the life savings Of the poor, and were
caught at it, or they were influential
citizens whose shady business trans
actions had been exposed.
High Bail for Ryan.
To require $4,000 bail money for
the release Of Frank NJ. Ryan, the
president Of the Structural Iron
Workers union somewhat indicates
the vindictiveness Of district attorney
Miller, who we'll knows that Mr.. Ryan
has too much at stake to attempt to
escape.
Fred Mooney of Duluth may be re-
leased by putting up $4,000 bail
money. That is a good deal for an
ordinary working man to raise.

ATTEMPT TO- hARASS

Representative Nimocks Don't
Like: to Be Bothered By.
-. Labor Committees.

Word comes from st. Paul that
Frank Nimocks, a member of the
Legislature from the fourth ward Of
Minneapolis, has introduced a resolu-
ton in the House to prohibit the as
sembling of lobbyists at the capitol
building.
In explaining his resolution Mr..
Nimocks said: "These people should
be excluded. as we'll as the paid at
torneys of the corporations. I mean
the legislative committees of the suff-
rage associations, the fraternal orders
and labor unions. Their place is be-
fore the committees where their
matters properly will be presented"
This is a very artful move to harass
the patriotic workers for progressive
legislation. The lobbyists for the cor
porations do not as rule, show
themselves about the capitol building.
They lodge about the hotels and meet
the members Of the legislature at So
cial functions, rather than at the capi-
tol building when their time is pretty
we'll occupied.
The workingmen's committees from
labor unions are not in the same So
cial strata az the members of the
legislature, and 50 the only oppor-
tunity afforded to meet the members
Is at the capitol building while the
legislature is in session. ..:.., ,....i

hope it will not be, 1t will seriously

pensation approximating $4,000 has

the two weeks required before the

Compensation has been awarded to

OF the whole number less than 80 per

course afforded them byt he law, that
Of trial by jury.
About $4,000 has been awarded
to workmen who have suffered from
accidents other than fatal. Injured
workmen have received half their
wages for periods averaging month.
The most that a workman can re.
ceive is SO a week and the least is
81, no matter how large or small his
salary may be. The average wage of
all the workmen is $12 and the aver
age compensation is Sc.
Owing to the fact that the loss from
accidents to employees has been made
a fixed charge against industry has
operated as a powerful incentive to
prevent accident.
Dangerous occupations are becom-
ing less so, for the insurance compan-
les, with experts acting as do the fire
underwriters, are teaching the en-
ployers how to eliminate danger. Not
a case disposed of by the commission
has been taken to court.
The speed Of operation which the
commission has attained has been
commendable and few, If any, cases
have been undecided two weeks after

viding the injured with opportunity

ATTORNEY WOULD
HAVE HAUSMAN
RELEASED
anAAa4 - = - -

That Samuel ID. Hausman, the aged
Seattle real estate man found guilty
Wednesday on charge of handling
opium, and now confined in Oahu
prison, may be released this afternoon
is said to be the effect of a motion
fled this morning in the United States
district court by George A. Davis, at
torney for the prisoner. In the mo-
ton, upon which action will be taken
by Judge Dole at 3 O'Clock this after
noon, Davis asks the release OF his
client on the ground that the jury's
verdict in finding Hausman guilty is
invalid and that Hausman in c0nse-
quence is being deprived Of his lib
erty without due process of law.
Davis points out, with numerous CT
tations to strengthen his contention,
that the Jury filed general verdict.
finding Hausman guilty as charged in
the Indictment, of buying. selling. re-
ceiving and concealing opium whore
as Judge Dole, in his instructions TO
the jury, eliminated all of these
charges save that of the eoncealment
of opium. In other words, the Judge
instructed the jury to find Hausman
guilty or not guilty on specified
charge, while the jury returned YER
dict on blanket or general charge.
Davis contends that the entire trial
is therefore void and that Hausman
should be released at once.
Hausman was consigned to Oahu
rison yesterday after declaring him
self unable to pay a fine of 5000 and
court costs imposed by Judge Dole.
Unless Davis plea is granted this aft
ernoon the septuagenarian will remain
in prison for at least a month, at the
end of which time he will be permitted
