Evidence Is Weak, But Usual Result
Where Labor Is Involved Is OBJ
tained. Vindictiveness Displayed
By Prosecution Which Is Backed
By rluch Legal Talent.

Wei home to induce if possible, he
Wei girls to come back into the I'm
lon and not return to work at the
Woolen Mills, was a good natured
and orderly one. In fact the Wei
girls themselves testified that about
all the alleged rioters did was to
call to them.
But there is a law which says
that where three or more persons
are gathered for intimidation that
they can be charged with rioting.
While perhaps the court cannot be
blamed, interpreting and giving the
law to the jurors as 1t appears In
the statutes, yet, no sane man, and
especially those of the prosecution,
believes that the law was ever in
tended for such cases as that in
volving Mrs, Williamson and Shell
don Norton.
The law is intended for protec-
tion against the destruction Of pro
perty and injury to persons. In
this case there was no intimidation,
1t was simply persuation that was
used.
The jurymen may have been
honest and meant to grant justice
as they saw it, but it is we'll
known fact that labor unions are
not much thought of by the aver
age farmer. The fact that the jury
which heard this case, consisting
almost wholly Of farmers and ex-
farmers arrived at a verdict If
guilty in the short time IN which
they did, doesn't cause one to
change their mind On this score
The averags farmer believes in
the sun up and sun down workday
and doesn't think much of the fel
low, who of course is the union
man, who causes these shcrt WORK
days t exist. He doespt under
stand industrial conditions ard is
oftimes prejudiced in his opinion
by reading newspapers unfrieudls
to organized labor.
We want to say right now that
If all the juries which are to sit in
connection with the labor trouble
cases are to be composed of farmers
alone, we believe ii useless, on the
part of the accused, to offer any de-
fense.
We want it understood that we
are not charging those farmers who
are serving on the jury with being
dishonest, but We do believe, the
preIudiced feeling if there Is any to
start with, and there usually is in
all cases of whatever kind, is on
the other side, aud that is big
thing. 1t will be noticed that the
attorneys for the prosecution are
working their heads off to retain
farmers and ex farmers on the
juries In these cases.
Then there is anotl er thing, why
is 1t that while Hamilton composes S

The vindictiveness with which
the prosecution of the union men
and women charged with rioting
Is being pursued, is incopceivable.

AN AMERICAN

"What is your definition of an Am
erican, Mr.. Skipper" j. Walker Pope,
federal food administrator for Polk
county, fired at E. E. Skipper, a
wealthy cattle man of Barlow, at a
late hearing on a sugar violation, with
which Skipper was charged.
"Why a man who stands for every
thing a good citizen should" Skipper
answered.
"Are you an American citizen, Mr..
Skipper?" was the next question.
Certainly, l am" Skipper shot back.
"And l suppose your wilful disre,
gard of the United States food admins
|istration's regulations allowing each
American citizen two pounds of sugar
month is what is to be expected of
a good citizen" Mr.. Pope queried.
When Skipper failed to answer, Mr..
Pope said, "That may be your idea of
a good citizen, Mr.. Skipper. 1t isn't
mine. 1t isn't the idea of the several
million men in the United States, who
are good American citizens"
Skipper, against whom charges
were preferred of having taken his
own sugar in can to the hotels and
boarding houses at which he stopped
and having declared he'd have all the
sugar he wanted in spite of the food
administration regulations. failed to
prove his innocense during the trial
and at the close. Mr.. Pope shot at him,
eff you are really guilty as evidence
submitted makes apparent, you are a
cowardly, selfish and unpatriotic Am
erican."
Skipper is one of the wealthiest
men in Polk county. owning several
thousand acres of land and head of
cattle He has two sons in service.
During the hearing the fact came to
light that he does not own any war
savings stamps nor any Liberty Loan
bonds. He admitted he brought a
$1,000 bond the last drive but ex-
changed the part payment he had
made on it for a Ford car.
Mr.. Pope advised him, Get ac-
quainted with the Red Cross, the Y.
M. c. A.. the Liberty Loan and the
war savings stamps and prove you are
patriotic. Any individual who forces
others to go without by using more
than his allotment of sugar is un-
worthy the title American"
