Wilson considered today the admins

annual message will be devoted TO it.
The president told his visators today
that he must eliminate the antitrust
bugaboo forever. He thinks the big
corporations are now ready to proceed
under the new tariff law, and that they
have the right to expect the govern.
ment to define just how they may op.

object, either, TO people getting rich
from conducting their enterprises pru'

ment giving corporations exceptional
advantages and enabling them to sue
ceed by not putting them on the same
footing with others"
The president told Senator Newlands,
of Nevada, and Congressman Clayton,
of Alabama, who will handle the trust
legislation, that he wants the Republi-
cans kept in touch with their activities,
and that he wanted law broad enough
to attract the support of all parties.

stated that he believed in getting the
very best talent possible, no matter
where it came from, and that this would
be his course, and he was for IInsdale,
and would get man from China IL he
was the better man for the place.
We have no doubt that the commits
siouers believe they are doing the bost
thing for the state, and they are no
doubt the sole judges Of what Is best.
In spite Of this, we are Of tho opinion
that the commission Is making sad
mistake. The commissioners say Mr.,
Hinsdale is one Of the very brightest
men in the way Of insurance matters
there is on the coast, and is the very
best men that could be gotten for the
place We know nothing as to this,
but, coneeding that he Is first.eIass
man, we still contend there are hun

capable Of conducting the business as
he Is, or as any other man from any

Astoria attorneys have asked the

for the killing Of Judge Taylor he en-

whether trade unions are recognized,

No Appeal Taken.

It is further claimed that, although
they got his property, they did not per-
feet his appeal. It seems that Hansel
has young daughter, and it is to pro-
tect her rights that the attorneys desire
to bring suit to set aside the deed and
mortgage to Norblad and Mullins, and
to do this the testimony of Hansel is
absolutely necessary.
If the statements made concerning
Norblad and Mullins are true it would
seem that the interest of justice would
be best served by granting reprieye
until such time as the civil suit can be
tried out. 1t is understood that Mr.,
Mullins will be in the city today and
Mr.. Norblad tomorrow, to present their
side Of the matter to the governor
It is to be hoped in the interest of
the bar, that they can explain the
matter away, for, as it appears on the
face Of the statements, the acts Of the
attorneys are certainly not to be com
mended.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 12,-Exposing
corporation greed, as it exists in the
copper districts of Michigan, and de.
claring for federal employment bu-
reau, under supervision of the depart
ment of labor, with the assistance Of the
postal department, Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson made an address
before the American Federal Labor
convention today, in which he stated
that the department, as now organized,
would cooperate with trade union
movement to elevate the standards Of
the society.
Secretary Wilson's statement Of what
he had found in investigating the Calu-
ment strike caused sensation among
the delegates.
"I want to take you into my conf
dence about the work Of the depart
ment at Calumet" said Wilson, while
recounting the work accomplished
since his appointment. "We not only
sent man to confer with the strikers
and employers, but an expert to look
into the earning capacity of the COM
ppnies involved 1t has been the Gus
tom, in case of strikes, to find out
what wages were paid, the hours of
work. and the conditions Of labor, and
to make these public. We propose to
go a step further, and make public
the earning capacity Of the company
involved.
Some Facts and Figures.
"Here is what / want to tell you.
The largest corporation involved in
the strike at Calumet was organized
in 1870, with capitalization Of $2,'
100000, the stock value at $25 per
share. The stock was sold at that time
at $3.50 per share, so the actual value
Of the original investment was $780,
900.
"During the AZ years this company
has been in existence it has declared
dividends amounting to 1921 100000
and made re-investments amounting to
$75,OOO,OOO, This after paying all ex'
penses and enormous salaries to Off
GERS.
"Then the men in control refused to
meet with their employees, and declined
TO accept the offers Of the department
of labor to mediate.
