Charge By Judge

Now, gentlemen of the jury,
this is a pretty serious situation
and | want to say to you that the
Court has no thought at all of dis
charging you. You were sworn
upon your oaths to do your duty as
jurors. In the opinion of the
Court there is no reason on earth
why reasonable men with due re-
gard for right, and each having due
respect and consideration for the
others opinion, should not arrive
at a conclusion in this case. What
would be fortune to either of you
or I has already been spent and a
failure to render justice in this case
and others is what brings the courts
into contempt.
"'I say this to you that you may
understand the seriousness of your
situation. The facts in this case
have got to be found by jury. An
other jury will have no better OPP
portunity of knowing what these
facts are or be in any better posi-
ton to determine these facts than
you, and it is your duty as jurors
under your oaths to get together
1 and return a verdict.
Nov the Federal Courts recog-
Inize the right of this Court under
these circumstances to say what
this Court believes in relation to
/ the facts in this case, and you are
advised that this Court is of the
opinion that the facts in this case
| Justify you in that conclusion,
overwhelmingly, that it was the
policy and therefore the agreement
for years of this national organiza-
! ton to prevent mining of non
union coal for the unlawful pur-
poses named in this complaint that
it might not come into competition
with union mined coal; that there
is no question in this Courts mind
! but that that strike was ordered
down there for that purpose to pre-
vent the mining of non-union coal
in these plaintiffs mines; that the
strike was called by those who were
/ the instrumentality of the greater
organization, the general organiza-
ton, the defendants, and their act
was its act, and that they put into
motion the force that destroyed this
property, and that that force was
put into motion for the purpose of
preventing the mining of that coal,
the shipping of that coal, the
running of these mines.

U.S.. WIRE INQUIRY

Washington, Jan. 21.-lnvestiga-
tion of the telegraph and telephone
service as administered by Postmas-
ter General A. s. Burleson is regard
ed as certainty by members Of the
telegraphers' union, who. have pre-
sented an appeal to the senate and
house. Responses to letters sent Dy
the telegraphers to members Of both
houses are favorable to the inquiry.
The general charge is that Post
master General Burleson has placed
the government behind the Western
Union company against the teleg-
raphers' organizations and is using
the power of the government to ac-
complish for the Western Union what
that corporation had been unable to
accomplish for itself.
In support of this contention 1T has
been cited that the operation of tAe
entire wire system Of the country is
now in the hands of President New
comb Carlton of the Western Union,
and Theodore N. Vail Of the tele-
phone combination, and that, while
the authority used is that Of the Gov
ernment, the details of management,
especially as 1t affects the relations
between the service and its employees,
Including wages and alleged discrim-
ination, is entirely the policy of the
Western Union and the telephone
company officials.
