same game Roster is playing in San
Francisco-it means a fight.
I look for such men as Roster to
show their hands whenever they can
control the local boards that will
make the exemptions in the selective
draft. In San Francisco, for exam
pie, if Rosters crowd controls the
local committee under the cOnscHp-
ton law, labor leaders will 60 to the
front and employers pets viii stay at
home.
Already the big industries are US
ing their influence both here in
Washington and elsewhere, to get
the government to let them deter
mine what men in-their employ shall
be exempted. Their argument is that
they know best which employees are
most needed to keep industry hum
ming. The public utilities of the
country have already organized an
auxiliary secret service among their
own officers and trusted employees.
and this public utility secret service
is voluntarily cooperating with the
government. In Chicago A. R. Briggs
is at the head Of it.
That's all right if its aims and ac-
tivities are purely patriotic, but it will
be all wrong if it is employed to serve
the selfish purposes of the public
utilities. The argument made to-
government officials is that power
and light companies, street railways,
gas companies and other public serV-
ice corporations are vitality interest
ed. They may. be subject to attack
by enemy bOmb-throwers who might
want to put out Of business power
plants that furnish power to munitiOn
manufacturers, etc. But these must
not be built up under the guise of a
patriotic service, a spy system that
will help play the game Roster wants

They are looking ahead to the in
dustriaI and commercial wars which
are expected to follow the war we are
now in.
The other day Frederick J. Roster,
president of the San Francisco
Chamber Of Commerce, addressed
the National Association of ManUfac-
turers in New York. He egged them
on to a nationwide fight on the
American Federation of Labor, and
said an organization bigger than the
National Association of Manufac-
turers must be created to cope with
the A. F. of L., which he described
as "a tremendously powerful nation
al organization, which has become
the dominant thing in the life Of this
nation, not only in politics, but in all
deDartments." What Roster has in
mind is indicated by the present pUr-
nose Of the sO-called better ele-
ment'' Of San Francisco, which has
raised a fund of a million dollars to
smash unionism in that city. A COM
mittee on Law and Order has been
created. and it has hired lawyers to
work with the district attorney in the
prosecution of sO-caIled labor cases.
The Mooney case is one Of them.
One cannot always tell what cap
tains of industry have in the back of
their heads when they are waving the
flag and shouting for Uncle Sam. If
Roster were appointing the Illinois
Council of Defense, or war board,
John Walker and Victor Olander
wouldn't be on it, for Rosters Law

SEALED VERDICT
 OPENED MONDAY

Not expecting the jury to arrive al an early verdict Judge Lyman Saturday at the close of the case of r. A. Delgar- do, administrator of the estate of Joe Delgardo, versus the Arizona Hercules Copper company instructed the jury to return a sealed verdict which would he read in open court at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Delgardo brought suit against the -nining corporation for $30,900, charging that his brother came to his death through criminal negligence on the part of defendant by whom he was employed
 The greater part of the morning was given over to arguments by the de- fendant for an instructed verdict. The jury was eXcuseG while Judge Marion eaux argued for the defense, on the ground that Henry Noelte was an inde. pendent contractor by whom Deigardo was employed. He claimed that whit, Noelte worked at the mine under the terms of the contract Noelte and the mining company were independent of each other. The court after making tho matter under advisement. denied the motion.
 The arguments began shortly after the noon recess. Captain Christy open ing for the plaintiff. Judge Marioneaux made brilliant plea for the defendant. enouentlY citing a parallel case in his effort to prove that Delgardo could not recover damages from the mining com pany when employed by an independent contractor Eugene s.
