filled me with renewed thank
fitness for the fact that l had the
good fortune to spend my boy
hood in the country, where l made
the intimate acquaintance of the
oueen Of American trees, the

wonderful in its gifts to mankind
than any of the Wanted monoco-
tyledons of the lazy tropics, with
their ready made bread ana
ready soured milk.
If you have ever tapped"
sugar maple and drank the juice
fresh from the tree; if you have
ever attended sugar party and
tasted the indescribable candy
produced by throwing the boiling
syrup upon a bank of fresh snow,
where it is quickly frozen into a
mama that seems to combine the
flavors and perfumes Of all the
fruits and flowers Of Paradise; If
you have ever eaten, on your
morning pancakes, real, genuine,
unadulterated maple syrup-syr-
up that would pass even DR.. Wi

turn sour in the mere presence
of a patent can: if among your

BIG BUSINESS CONsPIRES TO PLACE IRON
.~~a>~. WORKERS IN PEN, is CHARGE

Anderson ''railroaded" the men to
the penitentiary without giving them
an opportunity to apply for super
sedeas in the U. S. Court of Appeals.
That court later granted a super
sedeas and released the men on bail.
"2. We believe in the innocence
of the men, 1t was shown that the
verdict of the jury was wrong, at
least as to fourteen men, six of whom
were granted new trials by the Court
Of Appeals, and eight men were re-
leased by Judge Anderson himself,
and yet it was the same jury that
convicted all of the defendants.
"3. We believe that the verdict of
the jury was due to infammatory
speeches and misconduct on the part
of Judge Anderson and ex-United
States District Attorney Miller.
81 We believe that the whole
prosecution was and is an attempt
to break up the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers and to discredit organized
labor generally
To this petition has been added a
letter from Elijah N. Zoline, who
with Chester H. Krum, represents
the ironworkeTs.
In the letter Zoline makes the
charge that Judge Anderson was
prejudiced against the defendants
and that when a petition for a change
of venue was presented, to him he
flew into fit of rage and threatened
the attorneys for the defense with
contempt of court proceedings.
I'm the afternoon of the same
day." the letter continues, Judge
Anderson sent for the attorneys and
assured them he had no prejudice
against organized labor and urged
them to withdraw their petition for
a change of venue. Thus by threat
and intimidation and false promises
Judge Anderson retained jurisdiction
in the case. That he was manifeStlY
