.. Opens at Parkersburg.
The Investigation bringing out these
facts opened at Parkersburg Friday
before a special committee. comprising
Congressnen McGillicuddy, Of Maine,
chairman Gard, of Ohio, and Dan
forth, oe' New York. The petitioners
against: the Judge were represented
by Attorney Albert M. Belcher, Of
Charleston, and 49, Hudson, Of
washington, D. c.. Judge Dayton was
represented by John A. Howard, OF
Wheeling, John J. Cornwell, of Rooney
and Arthur S. Dayton, the Judges
son.
Lilly Irene jackson.
The first sensation was sprung by
Lily Irene Jackson, a sculptor and
artist, 66 years old, and only child Of
the late Iron Judge" With dramatic
fervor she denounced Dayton as re-
sponsible- for the breaking Of herr
fathers heart and ousting him from
the bench at the age of 81, after
serving Al years. Despite her age
and her deafness, which prevents her
hearing except through a trumpet, she
pleaded for the chance to speak like
e. man." and when given that permie-
sion, LAUNCHED into a denunciation of
the Judge in ringing tones, and with
heaving breast. She had no evidence,
however, except what her father had
told her, and this was ruled unac-
ceptable. She said that Dayton has
convicted himself by his own acts,
since he had not even expressed SYM
pathy to her at her fathers death.
She created sensation in%the Court
room.
The ousting Of Judge jackson was
made y clearer by other witnesses,
though they gave unwilling testimony

WHY DO MEN ORGANIZE?

1t seems almost foolish to be asked
the question, why Do Men Organize ?"
But there are those who manifest
good reasoning faculties, who do not
seem to understand that men organize
because we are compelled to; because
it is impossible In this age of central
ization Of forces to stand as individual
working people, while every form Of
business enterprise is thoroughly or
ganizod, working in cooperation.
In this competitive age, business be-
ing done on such a large scale all sue
cessful business Is compelled to join
with . centralized organization as a
matter OF protection, from a dollar
and cents point of view, as well as an
assurance or success If men are per-
mitted to protect their interests from
the dollar standpoint then how much
greater. is the need of labor organiz-
Ing from the human angle of the
question.
We all know that the tendency Of
large employers is to buy LABOR as
cheap1y as possible, and to substitute
any class. Of labor for that of skilled
labor, provided it is cheaper, without
question. Were 1t not for labor. or
ganizations, those who toll would be
in worse position than were the chat
tel slaves of not so long ago. We
must bargain collectively if we are to
BE free.
If you will go With me to a country
where labor is not permitted to or
sanize, I. will show you a country
where the standard of manhood is
low, the standard of morality still
lower, and human aspirations at their
lowest ebb. L will show you also uni

Wednesday the senate recommend
ed for passage the railroad employees
eml-monthly pay measure which: has
already passed the house. i,
Senators Gardner of Crow Wing
county, Pauly of Henepin and Jones
of Duluth spoke in favor Of the bill.
In advocating this measure Senator
Jones said: ''The organized men of
the raildoads favor 2 semi-monthly
payday and all the railrad organiza-
tions have expressed themselves in
favor of the bill. Most of the petit
tions are from railr TOAD men, and who
are @unorganized. The language con-
tained in the petitions is strikingly
similar. This is significant. 1t lends
support to the claim of the: friends
of the bill that the petitions are pro-
cured through the influence of rail-
road officials, and not the voluntary
act of the men themselves. -

There has been one man around

JUDGE DAYTON USED HIS
POWER TO GUST ANOTHER
Elderly Woman Tells Dramatic
Story of Removal Of Her
Father, Judge Jackson,

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 26.-(Spe-
ciaD-The attempt to impeach Judge
Dayton has become an attack upon
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com
pany. Every county, every hamlet,
seems to be under the sway Of this
monarch, and about all the state
politicians and state lawyers seem to
be only B. & o. lobbyists.
Judge Dayton's counsel comprises
John J. Cornwell, B. & o. attorney;
John J. Howard, attorney for the
Consolidation coal interests, which
works under arrangement with the B.
& o. attorney ever since leaving
school, with the ink not yet dry on
his diploma, and who, though now
but "a years old, boasts of getting
$4,000 q year. John T. McGraw,
Democratic national committeeman,
who defended Judge Dayton as a wit
| ness, is a B. & o. attorney. Ran
Stalnaker has for thirty years been
the B. & o. lobbyist The late
Charles F. Teter, it is shown, was
the B. & 0. representative in the Re-
publican party, as Stalnaker is in the
Democratic party.
| And SO it goes. Everybody ap-
| parently, is, has been, or hopes to
! be, a B. & Q. attorney. And the
duties of an attorney for this com
pany seem to, be but the tricks Of
petty politicians in behalf of the b.
& Q. in particular, and the entrenched
interests in general.
That this condition has prevailed
throughout Judge Dayton's term Of
| office, that prevailed before, and that
it even compelled the retirement of
Judge John Jay Jackson and brought
about the succession of Aston G..
Dayton to the federal bench, seems
to be shown clearly in the proofs SO
far brought before the committee Of
Congress now taking evidence lin the
}~im peae 'sraent proceedings "a - agaInst
Dayton, - 80 :
This evidence, never before pos
sible to produce in court, now: seems
clear enough to warrant the predic-
ton that Judge Dayton will BE ousted
from the bench.
The Points Scored.
AAAS POIAIS SO IdI SCOIeO are Lnat
Judge Jackson was forced to resign
from the bench, ostensibly to make
it possible for Dayton to secure the
position, and that this was brought
about through the Vaccinations of the
B. & o. railroad
That Judge Dayton arbitrarily re.
duced jury awards against the B. &
y. for damage for injuries.
That he threatened witnesses. ex.

case, and that he passed sentence YER
bally on persons never before him in

Unions Stand Behind Demand of
Operators for Fair Wages -. .
Picture Theaters.

The gentlemanly fight the Motion
Picture Operators union is putting
up against the Rex and Lyric theaters Z
is having a telling effect upon their
patronage. The theaters that are fair.
to union labor are receiving liberal
support from the people, while the
non-union houses are suffering tre-
mendously. Labor and the, friends OF
labor are giving splendid, support to
the striking operators. - IS. sFs5ssssss
The manager :, of the non-union
theaters is attempting~to to get by with
the claim. that he is paying his oper-
ators better than the union scale, but
this subterfdge is not getting him very
far. It is known that if higher wages
are being paid now the manager. OF
the non-union houses is simply offer
ing the usual bonus that is paid to
wages before the strike he would not
have had this trouble on. his hands.
!, A. committee from the union and
the Federated Trades and Labor as
sembly is visiting every union in the
city and as the merits of; the strike
are becoming better known the union
men and their families are responding
heroically. The railroad labor organ
izations will also endorse the strike,
and neither their members nor their
families will patronize any but union
theaters.. - ~-.. ssss
A large number of people who have
no use for unions are showing their
hatred for organized labor by maxi
ing it a practice to attend at least;
one of the inon-union theaters, hut
their enthusiasm will soon die out
while organized labor never forget4
sure will be the victory for the unioa4.
Demands Are Reasonable. s5
