Chairman of Utah Board Of Coun.
ty Commissioners Has Started
Something

SALE LAKE CITY, Utah, June -
The Street Car Mems union has signed
an agreement with the Utah Light
and Traction company. The new rates
are % cents an hour for first year;
81 cents, second year, and 81 cents
thereafter. Old rates ranged from 20
to 33 cents.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Lafayette
Hanchett, chairman of%the board of
county commissioners, Salt Lake City,
Utah, started something" when he
threatened street car employees with
arrest as prisoners of war, without
bail, If they suspended work.
The unionists refused to be bluffed
and telegraphed their international
executive, William D. Mahon, at De-
troit. That official wired A. F. Of L.
Secretary Frank Morrison, who for
warded this telegram to the governor
Of Utah:
Information has been received that
county commissioners through Chair
man Hanchett have threatened that
if street car men Of Salt Lake City
cease work to secure improved condi-
tons that the strikers would find
themselves in prison without bonds, to
remain there during the war. Desire
in the name OF organized labor of the
United States to enter an emphatic
protest against the effort of the COM
missioners to intimidate the street
car men by taking advantage of the
war situation and endeavoring to
create an impression in the minds of
the members of the, street railway
union that the commissioners or those
in authority have the power to put
such a threat into effect. I am bring
ing the threats of the commissioners
to the attention of the department of
justice at Washington today for their
information and action thereon"
In Geographic correspondence with
Secretary Morrison, A. F. of L. Or
ganizer Young, who was in Salt Lake
City at the time; said:
His (Hanchett's) action was for
the purpose of intimidation pure and
simple, I am told he will resort to
any means to defeat organized labor
and that he is unalterably opposed to
any form of labor organization. The
governor of the state was very angry
when he learned that Hanchett had
made this statement

FORT WORTH, Texas, June AT
