GOODMAN RIOT CASES WILL BE
REHEARD IN LOWER COURT

Three cases in which riot is charg-
ed against Goodman Co. machinists
by witnesses for the Metal Trades
Assn of Chicago are thrown back by
the Appellate Court for rehearing.
The employers who are fighting
the Goodman strikers tried hard to
prove riot" because if they could
secure conviction it would mean long
Jail terms for the three of the most
active strikers who have been on the
line at Goodman's. -
The three charged with riot were
Ed Carbine, organizer for the Inter
national Assn of Machinists; Ed Grill
ly and Robert Schwapak, members of
the union and pickets.
A jury in Judge Goodnow's court
gave verdict of guilty on all three
cases. The Appellate Court now re-
mands all three.
Witnesses for the employers were
professional strikebreakers, and
when the cases were tried they were
on other strike breaking jobs in Mich
igan City, Cleveland and Cincinnati
and had to. be rounded up and
brought here to testify.
Dudley Taylor, attorney for the
Metal Trades Assn, had hard time
finding his witnesses and producing
them sober and able to testify at the
trial. 1t is understood now that Tay-
lor has lost them again and they will
not appear again to swear out war
rants for the re-arrest of the defend
ants.
"Crilly and large number of per-
sons to the complaining witness I'M
known did commit a riot" was the
form of the allegation.
The Appellate Court decision says
that if there were a large number of
persons besides Crilly some of them
would have to be named if charge
of rioting was going to stand up.
If there were enough people mixed
up in fight so that it is big enough

seems to be the thought of the APP
pellate Court. -.-r
]. D. Farrell, attorney for the ma
chinists', held that at least two per-
sons ought to be pointed out if there
was really a riot
1t is admitted there was a clash be-
tween pickets and strikebreakers in
the case. The charge then generally
brought is assault with intent to kill
and murder" When there is trial
on this charge it is usually SINNERS
down to an ordinary assault and bat
terry case and a fine is paid.
The employers in the metal trades
are on the warpath just now, how
ever, and they wanted to fasten some
pickets behind the bars. So they rig
ged up the riot charge.
This is the second defeat within
two months for the Metal Trades
Assn. In January, Frank Dorney,
William Stack and Thomas Lofts
were before a jury in Judge McKin-
1ey's court, charged with assault
with intent to kill and murder"
Strikebreaker witne s es were
brought on from New York and In
dianapolis, almost sober. The jury
found mot guilty"
The Goodman shop is at Halsted
and 48th streets. Four hundred men
have been out now 81 months.
1t is reported that negotiations are
on for a settlement and the end of
the strike is near.

SURE SIGNS OF DEATH.

Guided by Them, There Is Little Dam
ger of Premature Burial.
There is a widespread belief among
educated persons that burial while
still alive is. though not probable. at
least possible. As evidence of this be
lief one has but to notice how many
persons leave instructions in their wills
for the taking OF special precautions
10 guard against this most dreadful OF
catastrophies.
When embalming takes place, OF
course. there is no possibility OF being
buried alive. yet being killed by en-
banning fluid instead or being allowed
20 revive and spend many more years
on earth is not the fate one would Sc
iect.
Although there Is but one infallible
sign Of death-namely, putrefaction-
yet there are many other signs, no one
OF which IS incontrovertible. yet that
when taken together. even in the abb
sence OF putrefaction. make the diagno-
sis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating. but this
does not necessarily mean that the pa
tent Is dead. The writer recalls a
case in his personal observation when
woman's heart stopped beating thir-
ty-four times in twelve hours and each
time was started up again by injec-
lions OF brandy and OF nitrogiycerin.
That is more than six years ago. and
the woman is alive and strong today.
IL IS often very difficult ito tell the
precise moment OF death, but when
the heart refuses TO respond TO stiusu-
lation. when the body becomes rigid.
when the blood coagulates and the eye
calls become faced and lose their ten
sion. then there Is no doubt that death
has come. The greatest safeguard
against premature burial IS the length |

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAvENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth district

many years OF service Is less than
the entrance salary of city carriers.
Rural delivery is admitted to be
one of the most beneficial branches
of the postoffice department and its
popularity and value are attested by
growing demand for the service.
An important factor in the success
of rural delivery has been the loyal
and enthusiastic service of the car
riers. They have permitted no OBJ
stacles TO interfere with complete
daily delivery of the mail. When road
and weather conditions prevented the
use of vehicles, carriers have not hes
itated to shoulder their mail and COW
er their routes on foot. But the par
eel post law laid heavier burdens upon
rural carriers and the 50-pound weight
limit which became effective Jan 1.
has brought them face to face with
serious conditions. New and larger
vehicles are required and many car
riers are not financially prepared for
the necessary outlay.
The section of the postoffice appro-
priation bill providing for the in
crease and which will be of interest
to all rural free delivery carriers,
reads as follows:
Section 9. Be 1t enacted that
from and after the first day of July.
nineteen hundred and fourteen, the
compensation of rural letter carriers
for carrying the mail six days each
week on standard routes of "a miles
in length shall be the sum of s1,15O
per annum, to be paid monthly; and
on routes exceeding "a miles in length
the sum OF $3.50 per mile per annum
for each mile in excess of "a miles;
and on routes under "a miles in
length, an increase of ten per centum
per mile per annum; on routes carry
ing the mail three times each week
of the same length as above. the pay
shall be one-half the compensation !
there provided: Provided, That no /
carriers pay shall be increased more |
than SIS per annum on account of the |
passage OF this act.

increase fixed upon in committee as
a compromise between those members
who favored a much greater increase
and those who were opposed to any
increase at all at this time.

GREAT GREED.

The special agent OF the department
OF labor who investigated conditions
| in the Michigan strike zone. reports
, that che Calumet & Hecla company.
which employs upward OF 80 per cent
OF the total number of mine workers
engaged in that region, was organized
with an authorized stock issue OF 81
SOC. 900 par value SIS, OF which $12
per share is paid up. 50 that the actual
cash capital paid in is S1,200,000. The
dividends paid from date Of organiza-
ton in 1871 TO and including March
80, 1918. aggregate s120,050,00o, be-
sides a reinvestment OF about s75,OOO,-
600 out Of net earnings.
But the Calumet & Hecla does take
the view that the miners in its employ
should share in it's prosperity in d.
vision OF profits and reduced hours of
labor. The Calumet & Hecla is true
feudaI lord. II is willing to do every
thing for is serfs in a patroniZing
way, but nothing in the way OF justice.
There Is a library and bath for the use
of employees OF its subsidiary COM
panies. One is left to imagine a miner
who has been working 10 or IL hours
n day, making a run for a library; and
in connection with the bath, Il is sig
nif9cant that uncleanl1ness exposes
to disease a plague OF contagion. both
OF which seriously interfere with unin-
terrupted mine operation. The COM
pany also erected 10 public school
buildings, but the township pays for
their maintenance. In this day even
among the unfortunate miners-who
have not had educational advantages
in their youth. II is necessary to pro
vide means for education OF their
children because every mine-worker
is intent upon securing for his chill
dren opportunities denied himself.
Calumet & Hecla has given the ground |
for the Y. NJ c. A building and for |
most OF the church buildings in the |
township and has contributed to their |
support. II has built and maintains |
4 hospital a. which 81 per month /
covers medical and surgical attention
and all medicine that may be neces-
iary for an entire family.
In other words. the affluent miner
must pay his hospital bill. but the /
company will give him the services OF
/ contract surgeon or physician for
himself and family. and medicines. To
certain employees who live TO 60 and
lave been in its service for 20 years.
[ gives a pension-how much is not
tated. In other words the subservient
nine boss who lives beyond the ex-
,ectancy OF an underground worker.
will ge: reward for his subserviency.
After paying for these enterprises.
III OF which pay for themselves one
way or another, the Calumet & Hecla
evertheless has paid in dividends in
2 years the enormous sum of $780,
10000 and turned back into the prop
rty $75.OOO.OOO additional profits. all
his on a paid in capital OF only
i 200 900.
Yet such a company denies to fits
employees a living wage and a work
ay which would leave them with a
