he had agreed with the understand,
ing that they were to be kept in the
care of Grand Jury Foreman Stiles.
Abe MerinbaUm, record clerk in the
mayors Office, was the next witness.
Then the records were called for.
A squad of police hauled 10000 docu-
ments into the grand jury room. One
package, containing private files
from the mayors Office, caused an
earnest discussion between the
mayor, Ettelson and SprOgle but they
were finally given to the grand jury.
= Sergt. John Naughton of Healey's
office and the chiefs representative
on the saloon license commission was
heard after the records had been
hauled into the grand jury room.
While Naughton was before the
grand jury States Atty Hoyne came
out. Again bOmbardment from
photographers. Hoyne received the
newspaper reporters with the an
nouncement that the work was only
begun and that before it ended a
thorough cleaning-up would be
made. He said he expected -fndict-
ments before Saturday.

said Hoyne, land we're going right
through with it. There's nothing
much care to say. Actions speak
louder than words. 1 have no COM
ment to make on what the mayor
might say. He's not running the

Among other announcements
made by Hoyne were:
Chief Healey has sent out an or
der to police captains instructing
them not to turn over any records to
the states attorney. Two captains
have told Hoyne of this.
Others besides Chief HeaIey will
be indicted.

A CASE AGAINST THE "DRYS."
Everybody is talking prohibition,
all the newspapers are forming opiR-
ions and laUding the action of the
drys. Billy Sunday is coming to do
what he can to save our souls for
his benefit.
This is most important, where
does labor stand on the wet and dry
question:" Walker of the III. State
Fed. of Labor says: with those who
favor labor legislation, no matter if
they are wet or dry"
say labor will not look to him or
any other official for advice on this
subject. That was proven in the last
election, when Madsen and Mason
were defeated because they have
been classed as drys, although they
had an excellent labor record.
These people sent men down to
Springfield who are and will vote
wet, even if they shun the voice of
labor. Prohibition is a greater blow
to labor than laws not passed, be-
cause they are always passable.
Union labor will side with the vets

THE 8-HoUR LAW. =

THE 9-HOUR LAW. - There is
quite a bit of speculation going on
'as to whether the 8-hour law is con-
stitUtional or not. AS a working
man, 1 will say if it is decided in the
courts to be unconstitutional it is up
to the government to change the law
so it will be constitutional.
There are innumerable reasons
from humane point of view to back
it up, but it is useless to argue with
the. commercial or employing class
from a humane point Of view when
the workers are concerned. Their
training and environment have
blinded them to this phase of the
proposition. Then we must take it
up from a purely economic point Of
view. All right here goes.
There isn't a court in the land
that denies the individual the right to
protect his assets. And as the work
ers are the chief asset of any nation,
producing the wealth in times of
peace and protecting the nations

hibition: Moonshine, robbery and
blind pigs; about 100000 persons
employed directly or indirectly would
be turned out for new jobs. These
people, UnskiIled in other lines,
would have to work cheaper, and if
net, there are other ready to do so.
This would break unions.
It is true that in dry states the
keepers of blind pigs encourage pro-
hibitiOn because they beat the gov
eminent tax and the city license and
the rot gut stuff is sold for double
and quadTuple prices.
We have more dry states every
year and yet the evil is increasing
even faster than the population
Such facts as these not only prove
that prohibition has failed to even
check the growth of intemperance,
but has, if anything, augmented the
very evils it was designed to abate
or overcome. It is certain that there
are causes at work producing these
direful effects which have not been
recognized by prohibitionists. PRO
hibition has defenders, but absolute
ly no defense. "A. NJ.

save shipbulldeFs from paying what
they claim are exorbitant premiums
on surety bonds in connection with the
navy construction program, the navy
department has decided to inform all
prospective bidders for the construc-
ton OF the recenfiy authorized ships
that the government will accept per-
sonal surety in place Of bonds under
| written by corporate surety.
AT conference between Acting Sec
rotary Roosevelt and the solicitor Of
the navy II was decided that the navy
has no right to refuse bonds backed
| by personal securities offered by or
through the shipbuilders provided they
are regarded as safe and of sufficient
quantity. The shipbuiiders will there
fore be informed the government is
willing to accept any safe bond they
may offer to guarantee fulfilment Of
contracts they accept whether ii is
backed by a bonding corporation or
personal securities In the form of prop
critics and stock OF the contractors.
Result Of Complaints
The action OF the navy department
was the result of complaints on the
part OF shipbuilders that the surety
companies that would underwrite
their bonds are holding them up for
exorbitant rates. The decision, Off
cials say. will enable the government
and builders TO save several hundred
thousand dollars that would be paid
out in bond premiums on the construc-
ton program.
Nearly $3.50, 00O, 900 is to be expend-
ed in the construction OF ships under
the recent naval increase appropria
ton. The policy OF the government
since 1886 has been TO demand a 10
per cent bond OF all constructors to
guarantee fulfilment of the contracts
they undertake. Up to within the last
few years this bond was furnished by
surety companies at reasonable fig
ure.
Several years ago the bonding COM
panies changed the basis on which
the premium was calculated from the
actual sum of the bond to the entire
cost Of the ship under construction,
raising the premium on some battle
ships from $4,000 to nearly $4,000.
The shipbuilders raised the plea
that this charge was exorbitant and
that as It figured in the cost of con-
struction the high premium was ulti-
mately paid by the government Cor
responjence lately received at the
Navy Department in connection with /
the new building program made the
complaint that this premium figure
amounted to a Eoldnp and asked navy
officials to devise some outlet through |
which the constructors could avoid its /
payment and so make q substantial
saving for the government.
This proposition was taken under
