ROBBED BANK TO GET
START IN BUSINESS
San Francisco Robber Talks
Of His Plans Ready to
Pay Penalty

San Francisco, Aug. 3l.-A franz
statement that he came to San Francis
co to rob a bank and obtain funds to
operate a brokerage business vas made
today by Edward Won Walden, who rob
bed the Mission Street branch Of the
Anglo California Trust company of
$4,000 in gold. He has no excuse to
offer, save that he wanted money, and
says he is willing to pay the penalty
for his action.
Extravaganza beyond the income his
father gave him, caused Won Walden,
according to his own statement to hold
up the Hotel Metropole in Detroit three
years ago. For this he was sentenced
to 10 years in the penitentiary, escap-
ing from that institution July II of this
year.
Arriving in Los Angeles, Won walden
took another name and engaged in
brokerage business, where, he says, he
was prospering. He resumed habits
demanding more money, though, so de.
liberately decided to rob q bank and
use the money in his business.
81 looked over one bank after an
other here, following my arrival for
that purpose Sunday" he said. 81 fin
ally picked out bank at Market and
Mason streets, but abandoned the plan
as there would be little chance for an
escape in that crowded district Then
L chose the Mission street bank.
"Well, l failed" he concluded. "It
was my fault. 1 am not going to both
pr nv family ahout this T really mada
hard fight to keep straight, but l
needed the money!
Van Walden was captured quarter
of an hour after robbing the bank, as
he had engaged in running battle with
the police, while he stood in the ton

said before the organizations were pro-
tected it was common thing for men
to be on duty with human lives in their
charge II hours on stretch.
"And always their monthly wage was
the same. Can there be better argu-
ment for time and half for overtime
work :" he demanded He said the men
demand the eight hour day-they do
not request it-as a human right to be
allowed every man"
"We are demanding some of the plea
sures the ordinary man enjoys. We are
mere travellers over the face of the
earth. Only through the eight hour
day can we have part of the rights
and pleasures of life enjoyed by the
average man. l wonder how many OF
you gentlemen realize what boon it
is that your lives in your homes are a
sealed book when you want it to be So
1t is not so with the railroad man. We
must always be ready for call. Even
when off duty our employers must know
where we are.
"With an eight hour law properly en-.
forced present conditions would be i'm
possible. Why, it used to openly be ad.
vocated when train crews had long
shifts that so long as one man stayed
awake while the rest got nap it would
be all right"
The railroads, Garretson said, have
made only one definite settlement pro.
posal-to shift the whole question to
the interstate commerce commission or
to submit to arbitration. He said the
brotherhoods do not oppose the prin-
ciplt of arbitration but do oppose it un-
der its application in recent cases,
where he held, the roads have done
their own interpreting of awards
