: Federation Secretary Cites Con-
gressional Probe To Verify
His Charges

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-"A com
plete. convincing exposure OF the
corrupt methods and the labor crush
ing, anti-labor program OF the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
This Is what President Samue
Gompers, OF the American Federation
Of Labor, declares has been the re
suit OF the congressional investiga
tion Of lobby activities. With both
senate and house probes practically
concluded. Gompers today gave the
United Press his review Of the evi
denoe.
"The principal paramount result ol
the Investigations has been q nation
wide exposure Of the corrupt methods
Of the National Association Of Man
ufacturers," Gompers asserted. "The
people now know how It has at
tempted to suborn members Of con
gres, bribe labor leaders and crush
labor.
"The cause under Investigation was
not between the N. A. NJ and organ
ICED labor, but between the N. A. =
and the people Of the United States
Here lies the difference between
the legislative efforts Of the N. A
NJ, and friends OF labor-the N. A. M

Referring to the Mulhall exposures
President Gompers said the anti-labol
policy Of the N. A. M. was shown to
lrave begun with President D. NJ.
Parry.
''He started It as an anti-labor or
ganixation," said Gompers. "He

$4,000 FIRE At
HANKINSON, N. D.

Hankinson, N. D., Jan. Fire dis
covered at Z o'clock in the morning
did damage to the amount of $4,000
to the concrete block factory and Of
flee of the Hankinson Cement Block
& Building Co of which Geo. Mack is
the president and manager.
The fire had gained such Roadway
that the department was pOWerless to
do more than prevent it's spreading
beyond the concrete partition which
divided the structure into two parts.
The north end, including the office in
the northwest corner and the work.
shop in the north end of the building,
is completely Quilted, only the concrete
walls standing. The equipment of the
workshop was very complete, includ-
ing gasoline engine, turning lathes
and other costly machinery and tools.
Mr.. Mack's automobile was also total
~ destroyed.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Early in the morning Mr.. Mack had
ben there and started a fire while
engaged in business with a party who
wanted to take one Of the early trains
out of the city. The fire probably
caught from the stove in some way
after Mr.. Mack's departure.
The loss is estimated at 81, 900, fully
covered by insurance.
Plans Of the company for the future
are unknown at this early hour after
the c~atatrophe, but it is probable they
will rebuild early in the spring.

FIGHTING PARSONS
REIRACT CHARGES

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE church
trial involving Rev. e. w. Elayer of
Hibbing, Mimi, and Rev. Thomas E.
Green of st. Louis Formerly Of James
town, N. D., closed in st. Paul, when a
settlement raj effected practically out
of court. BY the terms Of the settle
ment, Rev. Mr.. Elayer signed a state
ment, asserting that charges which
he made against Rev. MI. Green, were
based only on hearsay evidence with
no knowledge of the facts, and the
charges of defamation Of character
lying, and ~disobedience to the au-
thority Of the church, instituted by
Rev. Mr.. Green against Rev. Mr..
Elayer. were withdrawn. The posi-
ton of both ministers in their respec-
tive conferences remains the same.
Rev. e. G. Horn, pastor Of Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church of Min
neapolis, who was appointed to an
nounce the terms of the settlement
to the press. made the following state
ment.
"a settlement has been reached,
practically out of court. To both
sides it was apparent hat the allie
cations were largely based on hear
say evidence and when counsel for
the two pastors found this to be the
case, and knowing that hearsay evil
dence had no standing either in the
civil or ecclesiastical courts, they
made Overtures Of settlement, which
proved satisfactory to 10Th pastors.
ION consent and advice Of coun-
sci, Rev. Mr.. Elayers, signed a state
ment to the effect that the reports he
had made rejecting on the character
of Rev. Thomas E. Green, were based
entirely on hearsay evidence, and not
upon personal knowledge.
The charges were withdrawn by
Rev. Mr.. Green, who also went on
record to the effect that the rumors
that have been given publication were
simply the result Of indiscretions on
his own part and for which he ex-
pressed contrition, putting the same
in a formal document. The evidence
was not all in, but the principal
witnesses had failed to produce
damaging testimony; therefore the
negotiations for the settlement were
begun. The settlement leaves both
pastors in their present standing in
their respective conferences"
Rev. John Writ King, pastor Of
avenue Methodist Episcopal
Of st. Louis, acted as coun-
in the trial of Rev. Mr.. Green.

Chris Person, n he will try to have
a wire from there after the contest to

Chris is to meet Westergard in this
city at Prizes hall on Friday night,
Jan, 10 n he is very anxious to know
how Ordeman will make out with West
ergard.
Person has met Ordeman and it took
the latter just ifty-one minutes of the
hardest kind of work to down the local
grappler, and he didn't do it then until
he had broken the ligaments In Chris

son is so anxious to know all about the
contest tonight.
He a learned much since he met
Ordeman a year or so ago and when
sure to do after the Westergard-Person
match here, he believes that Henry
Will have to do better than he did the
last time, If he gets a fan at all. r.
Person is in the very best of trim
for the contest next Friday night in
this city with Westergard, and he
won't do much heavy work until the
night of the bout. He is a man who
takes the best kind of care of himself
all the time. and is fit at any time to
go against any one of his size. but
Westergard weighs several pounds
more than the 1875 that Person does.

touches. Chris is a modest fellow and
when asked what he thought of the
outcome of the affair, he smiled and

The AMERICAN LEAGUE
1t VIII Meet Jan. 40 In Chicago n
Decide ON Number of Games
for 1913.

Chicago, Jan. Whether the 1853
or 154-game schedule shall obtain this
year in the American association is the
big question to be threshed out by club
owners of the big Minor" league when
they hold their annual meeting here on
Jan. 10,
Last year the long schedule was
played and it resulted in some dissat-
isfaction. Teams were forced to make
four swings around the circuit and this
cost much money. Those who favor
the 154-game plan say it could be
completed with three trips around by
each club and thus save a large amount
of cay fare and hotel bills.
Toledo and Columbus club owners are
opposing the long schedule. In the
past opposition to it usually has come
from the northern cities, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee and st. Paul on account OF
the cold spring and fall weather.
George Tebeau of Kansas City, whose
city enjoys more warm weather than
any in the organization, is
strongly in favor of 1853 games.
The fight will center around the APP
pointment of the schedule committee.
Tebeau is said to be almost certain
of a place on that body.

of attendance in thu history of the
association.

Westergard is inclined to be fair, and

possible"
The question of the preliminaries to
the contest has been decided and Mr..

the very best that have ever ben seen
at an affair of this kind in Fargo. The
first one will begin promptly at .
o'clock and this means 8 sharp, while
the second will be put on Immediately
after the first is concluded, so that the
spectators will not have any long

thusiasm is being shown and the al
Ieys are In the best of condition. Rec
ord breaking scores are being looked
for in this series of games.
