LABOR BODY NOT IN SUBWAY
WAR-COURT PLAN ATTACKED
The Chicago Federation of Labor
refused to be drawn into the subway
squabble and Fepudiated Tomaz F.
Deuther of the Northwest Side Bust
ness Mems Association when he ap-
peared before the federation yester-
day and asked them to oppose the
building of subways,
AS a substitute for the subway
.Deuther proposed the improvement
of the elevated system.
The federation took the attitude
that it was not going to play the bust
ness mems game when the business
men had fought them so bitterly in
their fight to improve working con-
ditions.
Elizabeth Maloney of the Wait
resses' Union charged that Deuther
was one of the worst enemies the
working people had when they were
fighting for the S-hour law.
And so, while the general opinion
seemed to be that there was virtue
in Deuther's plan, the federation
tabled his request for support.
William E. Rodriguez, candidate
for alderman of the 18th Ward, ripped
Judge Olson's new municipal court
plan all to pieces and threw the bits
out the window.
He showed that if Olson's plan
were adopted the Municipal Court |
would be an-powerful. Hidden in the |
trenches of verbiage, Rodriguez
pointed out, were vital dangers to the |
Door offender who might be brought |
before the court.
Under the new plan there would be |
no grand jury and the defendant |
would be entirely at the mercy of the |
court, which, as the mattresses have |
discovered, is not a very comfortable |

street car platforms was an infringe
ment on personal liberty.
The debate which attended the re-
lection of the anti-smoking ordinance
was enlivened by the declaration of
John Harding that union men should
let booze alone because no booze bot
ties contained the union label.
The United Societies, which has a
strangle-hold on the votes of a large
percentage of the foreign-Americans
for number of years, was denounc-
ed as foe to union labor.
Thomas Van Lear, Minneapolis, a
member of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, was present
and made short talk, during which
he said that Sen. Clapp admitted to
him that the Sherman antitrust law
was not intended as an aid to the
working people of the country.
Encouragement was given the
mattresses. ..-.-

tors of Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio

PANAMA CANAL EMPLOYEES
MAY BUILD OWN HOMES

Panama, Aug. 29.-Owing to the
great demand for quarters and the
congested condition of those owned
by the Panama Canal government.
Col. G. w. Goethals. governor, has
decided to permit many Of the en-
ployes to build their own homes on
the Canal Zone under certain condt-
tions. Since the concentration of a
large part Of the canal force on the
Pacific side of the Isthmus was begun
the demand for quarters has been so
great that the Quartermaster' de-
,partment has been unable to meet it..
The permits for these structures will
be granted with the understanding
that the builders are not to receive
any compensation from the canal
government in the event of the term
ination of the owners services with
the canal.

JOHNSON MESA MURDER CASE GOES ~~.-
BEFORE C0lFAx co. GRAND JURY

I3 o'clock when lie passed by.
.. The fact that the woman was
brutally murdered and that there
was an apparent attempt to cover up
the crime by burning her body.
In speaking for the defense, At
torney John Morrow called attention
tton to the fact that all the evidence
was necessarily circumstantial, as
there was no other person on the
ranch when the tragedy is supposed
to have occurred. The evidence of
the state attacked, In no way Mr..
Towndrow's character and there was
nothing but circumstances tending to
fix guilt for the crime upon the de-
fendant. While there were strong
reasons to believe that a crime had
been committed. there was nothing in
the evidence 80 far adduced to estab-
lish beyond a reasonable doubt that
Mr.. Towndrow, and not some other
person, was responsible for the death
OF his Wife: there was nothing 30 far
brought out by the facts that would
show sufficient motive for such q
crime.
After the close of the case and
the rendition Of the opinion of the
court. the prisoner was remanded
to the county jail without bail to
appear before the grand jury in De-
cember.

1t appears also that the leaders re-
sponsibie for the conduct of the
strike are In large part men from
other states. who apparently came
here for the sole purpose OF assum-
ing charge of the situation on be-
half of the United Mine Workers OF
America. and TO direct the course OF
of this county and OF the state OF
Colorado.
1t is also a matter OF common
knowledge shared by the members Of
this grand jury with other residents
OF this county, that the funds for the
prosecution of this ofganized insur-
rection. are derived from assessments
levied upon laboring men, members
Of the organization In other states.
from members OF labor organizations
and charitable periods throughout
the United States. From the system
attic Misrepresentation of the facts
by the officers of the United Mine
Workers OF America. and by a por-
tion Of the press of this State. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that these con-
tributions were made In the mistaken
belief that they were to be used for
the subsistence OF persons rendered
destitute by unemployment due to
the strike. The evident fact is, how
ever, that they were largely used In
the purchase OF fire arms and ammu-
milton to be used by the strikers in q
campaign Of violence, designed to se-
cure compliance with their demands
through terror induced by the de-
struction of life and property.
Throughout our investigation we
have. in compliance with the instruc-
tions of the court, availed ourselves
OF the assistance OF the Attorney
General, acting under the direction
of the Governor. We are OF the opin-
ion that the Attorney General should
remain throughout in charge Of the
prosecution OF the indictments re-
turned herewith. and that II neces-
sary, a special prosecutor be appoint
ed by the court to cooperate with
him.
This suggestion is not intended as
a reflection upon the District Attor-
ney OF this Judicial District, but is
made because 1t clearly appears from
the evidence that his sympathy with
the ostensible purposes. of the strik-
Ing miners is such as must ines itably
embarrass him If Called upon to
prosecute these cases.

Dairy Company Charges That Inspec
tor Rowe Was OVerzeaIous.

Asserting that the milk cans de-
stroyed in Marquette by Deputy Dairy

On his recent visit to Marquette,
Mr.. Rowe saw the cans in the NJ, NJ.

they were i'm bad condition, because of
rust and other faults and destroyed
some Of the worst of them. The others
he sent back to the owners, with for

cent revelation. Secretary of the Navy

COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS
MANY IMPORTANT PROJECTS
LIGHTING CONTRACT LIKELY
WILL BE SIGNED-ExTEND
TAX WARRANT.

one of the most important meetings
of the Laurium village council Is
scheduled for tomorrow evening when
the lighting contract with the Hough-
ton County Electric Light company
will come up for final action. At the
July meeting, proposal was offered an
n hve-year basis ana it is not unlikely
that this plan will be adopted. In
Guided in the contract is a clause per-
tanning to the ornamental lighting on
IIecla street and tomorrow's meeting
will lay plans for the erection of poles
from which the new lamps will be sus-
pended. The lighting company pro-
poses that the businessmen pay for
the lighting for the first year and after
that period, the village take over the
ornamental system. In order 10 obtain
an expression from the merchants, a
petition was circulated and freely
| signed, in which they desired that a
new Tungsten system, similar to that
in Portage Lake towns, he installed.
The cost will be slightly in excess Of
that now paid for the ncandescent
lamps but the latter is deemed made
quate.
The tax warrant will come up for
discussion and following n custom
| which has been in vogue for several
years, it likely will be extended. This
is only a formality but to legalize the
extension of tax collections, the step
is necessary. The final warrant fixes
the time limit for the third Monday in
october.
The street and town hall improve
ments will be given attention and ad-
vance payments on both contracts
likely will be made. The work on both
has advanced satisfactorily and there
is little doubt that they will be COM
pleted within the specified time limit.
