CHARGES ARE
SUSTAINED
Every Charge Against U. S
Steel Corporation Is Upheld
by Court
BY George p. West

BY George P. West
J Washington, d. C.-Every charge
brought against the United States
Steel Corporation by the striking iron
miners of Northern Minnesota is sus-
tanned in a report just submitted to
Governor Burnquist by his own state
labor commissioner.
Miners have been exploited by the
contract system, cheated, oppressed,
forced to give bribes to their mine
captains arrested without warrants,
given unfair trials, and subjected to
serious injustices' at the hands of
the mine guards and police. This is
the substance of the findings.
Mine guards employed by the COM
pany, deputized by Sheriff Meining
without investigation, and supported
by Governor Burnfuist, are to blame
for all disorder. The report says:
1--WE are not entirely in sympathy
with the belief that vigorous measures
were necessary to maintain peace and
safety in this strike. We are entirely
satisfied that the mine guards have
exceeded their legal rights and duties
and invaded the citizenship rights of
the strikers; that such violence as has
occurred has been more chargeable
to the mine guards and police than to
the strikers; and that the public po-
lice departments have entirely ex-
ceeded the needs of the situation, and
have perpetrated serious injustice
upon the strikers.
Numerous cases of arrest without
warrant, and unfair trials in the JUS
tees courts were brought to our at
tention. We will not go into these
cases in detail, as the federal men
have promised a thorough investiga-
ton but we are seriously impressed
that the mine guards should have
been compelled to remain on mine
property or disarm when they left it.
Every shooting affray that has oc-
public property. In no case have the
so-called riots occurred on or even
near company property.
The parades of the miners have
been peaceful, the public police have
had no trouble in maintaining order,
and if the private mine guards had
been compelled to remain on the com
pany property we do not believe that
there would ever have been any
bloodshed on the range"
Governor Burnquist, whose tele-
gram to Sheriff Meining was generally
accepted as an order to go the limit
in breaking the strike, is now on the
defensive. In the face of reports from
and from his own state labor depart
ment, he can no longer escape
reckoning for the part he has played
in aiding the Steel Corporation to
maintain industrial tyranny. After
reading the report of his own state
labor department he issued state
ment, saying;
"As an official | am interested only
in the enforcement of the law. Per-
sonally l have had four men up there
to investigate conditions. and none of
the four has ever reported to me any
undue violence on the part of of
ficials."
Apparently Burnquists investigators
were carefully selected.

Think of the Good Things
When we get in the doldrums be-
cause of some lost battle the best
antidote is to cast up accounts on the
other side of the book and think of
the splendid things labor has ac-
complished. Think of the kiddies you
took out of the mines and factories
and put in school or turned them
loose on the Fairgrounds. If it be
true that we who are approaching the
meridian of life or are going down the
farther side of the slope toward the
shadows, live again in the hearts of
the young, we ought to be glad, glad
that trades unionism gave to America
her free school system and then set
its hand to the task of giving to every
American child an opportunity to ac-
quire a free education.
And what a change has come over
public sentiment in the past few
years. Time was when organized
labor was just tolerated, it had no
standing in good society" Its meet
ing place was over a saloon, the bar
room it's club, tic committee room, it's
public forum. Today it is a recog-
nized moral force in every community.
Those chosen to act as its spokesman
find eager auditors in women's clubs,
churches, civic societies, wherever
people gather to discuss the affairs of
life.
The public is coming to recognize
that there is something really con-
structive, something broad underly-
ing the principles of trade unionism.
Not in fifty years has there been such
a liberal education afforded the public
as to the why of trade unionism as
was afforded by the national investiga-
tion by the Federal Commission on
Industrial Relations. That report has
been aptly termed the text book of
labor" and is destined to do splendid
work in setting people to thinking
about fundamentals in our industrial
problem.
A Great Humanitarian Work
A short time ago | attended the
state convention of the State Anti
tuberculosis Society, body of splen-
did men and women who are fighting

award or public acclaim, the deadliest
enemy the worker has. l was privi-
legged to address that gathering upon
Tuberculosis and the Workingman."
took the ground that the problem
was an economic and social problem
and told that gathering that they could
not hope to combat tuberculosis unless
they attacked the industrial system
that was responsible for slums, long
hours, low wages, weakened physical
vitality, all the environments that in
vited disease. And the response | got
from that gathering! One doctor got
up and in voice vibrating with feel
ing, told of his quarter century ex-
perience with the tubercular poor "It
is the tragedy of the century" said
he, that the poor must die like flies
from this awful disease, because they
have no chance for themselves. A

1t is not disparagement of Utah's
senator-elect to remark that the
enforced retirement of his prede-
cessor from the Senate evoked regret
in quarters where sensible states
manship is best appreciated. Sena-
tor Sutherland twelve years of use
full service yielded him repute de-
feat for reelection can by no means

In recent issue, the New York
Sun says of him:
George Sutherland of Utah is

ties, passages from whose SEN
sible utterances on topics of

had the pleasure of laying be-
fore the readers of the Sun. His

on March and unfortunately
he has failed of reelection. 1t
is to be hoped that his defeat
does not mark his retirement

liable a counselor to be separa-

Few members of the United Sta.

As Murderer To
Shield Brother
Boy My be Granted Pardon After
Brothers Death-bed
Confession

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov. 21.-The
first ray of hope that in three years
has lighted the dark San Quentin
cell of Avalon Cramley came with
the revelation of the first time Of
what are declared to be the facts sur
rounding the Staying of Joseph W..
Fear in Pasadena Nov. 80, 1912.
For this Staying Avalon was con-
victed of manslaughter and sent to
the penitentiary for ten years, the
maximum sentence. One of the re-
markable things about the case was
the silence with which he faced the
charge and received the sentence.
This silence he still preserves, but
it has at last been broken by the
voice of the man for whom Avalon
made his supreme sacrifice.
COnfesses on Death-bed.
According to death-bed confess
sion imputed by Howard Cramley,
elder brother of Avalon, it was How
ard and not Avalon who slew Fear.
but, cognizant of the facts, and be-
lieving his brother would go to the
gallows if the crime were fastened
upon him the younger brother vol
unfairly assumed the guilt, took the
penitentiary sentence in silence and
let his brother go free.
+. II. Cramley, a Chino rancher,
and father of the two boys, to whom
the ante-mortem statement is declar-
ed to have been made, Immediately
set in motion the machinery to Sc
cure Avalon's release.
The matter was taken up by the
local district attorneys office and
that of Coroner Hartwell. If the
facts are as they are vehemently al
legged to be by Avalon's friends, the
authorities will recommend that the
young man be Immediately pardoned.
Widow Cause OF Row.
Howard Cramley and Fear were
rivals in their attentions to Mrs. Mel
lie Greaney. Pasadena widow. On
the fatal evening Fear arrived at the
Greaney residence to find Cramley
already there. According to the pur-
ported death-bed confession of How
ard Cramley, Fear drew a revolver
and threatened to kill him. In order
to save himself he attacked Fear
with a knife, cutting his throat
Mrs. Greaney did not actually wit
ness the fight. A few minutes before
she had called in Avalon Cramley,
who happened to be passing, and sent
him to nearby drug store to get
her some headache powders.
The IA year old boy returned just
before the police arrived, summoned
by a frantic telephone message from
the woman to Chief of Police Woods
of Pasadena.
Avalon was picked up on suspicion.
He at first protested his innocence
but after talk with his brother
made no further statements, volun-
tarily Assuming all the blame.
