"CREAT DETECTIVE"
William j. Burns Now Heads U. S. Service-Jury Fixing
in Jones Case Recalled By Appointment

persons who claim that they were in
duced, through intimidation and
threats, to testify falsely in the Jones
case," continued Attorney General
Wickersham
"In line with these practices it is
further shown that one of the de-
PENDANTS, with Jones, is man named
Sorensen, while he was presumptive-
ly being tried by the government,
was in the active employment of
Burns and received compensation
from the government under the name
of George Edwards.
I'm this way Burns kept tab ON
Jones, and the latter, relying upon
Sorensen, because he was a fellow
defendant, accepted as jurors persons
to whom he would otherwise have OBJ
jected
II need not go further in a recital
of the high-handed conduct on the
part of officers of the prosecution in
CneSe cases.
''In this connection | would say that
Mr.. Burns has been given the fullest
opportunity to make statement The
pardon attorney went to New York
and interviewed him by appointment
but could not obtain statement from
him, though he informed Mr.. Burns
that he had with him all of the doc
uments that had been filed and would
be glad to show him every one and re-
ceive what comment he had to make"
On this evidence, submitted by his
chief legal adviser, President Taft
pardoned the victim of the present
head of the United States secret ser
vice system, who now has unlimited
power and opportunity to duplicate
his Oregon 'frame-up"
About the time Attorney General
Wickersham made public his expose,
the great detective" said;
Private detectives, 80 per cent of
them, as class, are the worst lot of
crooks and blackmailing scoundrels
that live outside of prisons"

hits The ROCKS"
Strike Insurance Blows Up
and Strikebreaking Plan
Meets Rough Shedding

Baltimore.-Th strike insurance
and strikebreaking plan of the En-
ployers' Mutual Insurance and Ser
vice Company has hit the rocks.
A commission appointed by the
courts reports that the company's liza
bilities exceed its assets by about
$1,OO0,00O and possibly considerably
more.
Circuit Judge Dobler has ordered
that receiver be appointed for the
company unless it proves it is capable
of paying its debts.
State Insurance Commissioner
Heating was a member of the com
mission that investigated the COM
pany under order of the court. The
following recommendation was in
cluded in the commissions report:
That an injunction be issued sus-
pending the business of the company
and that receivers be appointed to
take charge of the estate and assets
of the company and to administer the
same and wind up its affairs under
the direction of this honorable court
and that the charter of said company
as an insurance company, be annulle6
and forfeited"
The commission held that the com
pany was doing business in violation
of the laws of the state of Maryland
and had not sufficient assets to carry
on its business; that it was insolven
and unable to pay its losses.
The commission indicates that tht
44-hour strike of the printing trade!
was the final blow to the company.

Washington.-The appointment of
William j. Burns as head of the re-
organized United States secret ser
vice is announced by Attorney General
Daugherty. 1t is stated that all Sc
cret service branches of the govern
ment will be placed under the con-
troll of Burns. The attorney general
is quoted in the public press:
81 have known Mr.. Burns person
ally for 30 years and have watched
him develop his speciality. He is ia
miliar with all of the departments of
government, is an intelligent and cou-
rageous man and at this time especial
ly is considered to be as high class
a man as could be secured to assume
the important duties assigned him."
The power now possessed by
Burns recalls the pardon by President
Taft, in 1912, of Willard n. Jones,
convicted in Oregon on the charge of
violating federal land laws. In fav-
oring the pardon, Attorney General
Wickersham presented affidavits to
President Taft which proved that
Burns, who was employed by the pros
ecution, investigated every prospect
i've juror in several counties, and no
one was accepted as a juror except
those whom Burns reported would
convict.
The background of this case was
political feud between two factions
of the then dominant party. Burns
aided the faction in control by Sc
curing jury that would railroad
Jones to the penitentiary
Burns carried his jury fixing so far
that he sent the following telegram
in cipher code to the office of Secre-
tary of the Interior Hitchcock:
Jury commissioners cleaned out
old box from which trial jurors were
selected and put in 600 names, every
one of which was investigated before
they were placed in the box This
confidential"
There are also on file affidavits OF

Washington.-In final effort to de-
feat the new tax bill, which passed
the house on August 20, representa-
tives of organized labor, headed by
President Gompers, called on con-
gressmen to send the bill back to the
committee, that glaring inequalities
could be remedied. The plea was ig-
nored
Trade uniOnists will carry the fight
to the senate, and it is predicted that
battle royal will be staged in the
upper branch by group of progress
sive senators before the measure is
approved by that body.
AS passed by the house, the bill
makes no attempt to tax the loot of
war profteers. The tax on excess
profits is removed, and the surtax, or
extra income tax, on swollen fortunes
and great corporate interests is cut
in two.
The exemption of $4,000 for mar
ried men is increased to $1,000, and
the 5000 for each dependent is in
creased to $400 In referring to these
exemptions, the organized workers
said:
eve are not deceived by the sop
thrown to the people in the form of
increased exemptions in the lower
brackets of the income tax We are
aware that those who escape a trifie
in that respect will pay more heav-
lily elsewhere.
Government tax experts them
selves have testified that the excess
profits tax is a fair and honest ta.
because it is a tax on ability to pay
So it is with the surtaX and the grad
uated tax on the higher brackets OF
the income tax and these should stay
as just and proper provisions.
1T has been estimated that excess
profits, above a reasonable return
pocketed by a favored class during
the war, t0taled fully $4,000, 900 900
1t is clear that to allow this great
tribute to favored ones to escape
while wage earners are compelled t,
carry an added burden, is an outrage
''The country will demand an ac
counting if the present bill become:
law. In the name of the wage earn
ers of America, as their representa-
tives, we make solemn protest
The bill not only permits profiteers
to escape with their loot, but it act
ually permits profiteers to pay les
taxes i'm proportion to the amOun
that they gouge from the people.
This statement was made by Con
gressman Oldfeld on the floor of tn
house. He presented figures to sup
port his claim that the fiat corpora
tion tax of 121a per cent as substi
tute for the excess profits tax favor
ed the eXtortioners.
The law maker declared that ther
is not an expert in the treasury de
partment who will dispute the accur
acy of his figures.
"Under the present law a corpora
ton with $4,000 capital stock is tax
ed 10 per cent, or $50, when it make

of law in West Virginia to the point
of absolute collapse and whose most
recent activities have been brutal and
lawless beyond description, Senator
MARITIME reported:
"In no spirit of malice or hatred,
but with a view that the country,
through knowledge of the true condi-
tions, may right he wrong, | charge
that the hiring of armed bodies of men
by private mine owners and other
corporations and the use Of steel ar
mored trains, machine guns, and
bloodhounds on defenseless men, wo-
men and children is but a little way
removed from barbarism"
The 1914 senatorial committee
found a complete breakdown of civil
law and in depicting the lengths to
which coal mine autocracy was car
ried officially reported that during the
period of martial law the court mar
tial before which offenders were tried
deemed itself bound only by the or
ders of the commander in chief, the
governor of the state, and in no sense
bound to observe the constitution of
the United States or the statutes of
West Virginia relative to the trial and
punishment of parties charged with
crime" The senators found that dur.
ing this high-handed reign the civil
courts were open and holding THEN
regular terms 1t also was found
that the court martial inflicted pun
ishments unknown to the statutes OF
in excess of the punishment provided
for such offenses under the laws Of
the state
The report of the most recent SEN
atorial committee has not been print
ed, and / understand is not to be for
reasons of which | am unaware. 1t
is a fact, however, that this recent in
vestigation strengthened the findings
of the earlier inquiries and sustains
every contention as to the conduct OF
the mine owners of West Virginia
and their complete disregard for the
constitution of the United States anc
the laws of their own state.
The trouble in West Virginia vii
not be cured by forcing men into sub
mission while allowing continuance
of the evils against which they have
so desperately protested / join with
all Americans in deprecating the VIC
lence in that state, but it is worst
than useless to deal with the surfac,
manifestations while allowing tn,
deep, underlying plutocratic criminal
| ity to continue uninterfered with ant

The United States government cal
do great service by destroying gov
ernment by gun men, by restoring civ
il government uncorrupted by Goa
mine autocracy and by giving to tn
miners an opportunity to secure jus
tice and to be free from persecution
in enjoying their constitutions

Unless the government does thi
it adds to the shameful record an
helps to perpetrate the era of Grim
and brutality.

HIGH" WAGE MARK,
S2S.93

Albany, N. Y.-The "high" wages
of factory workers in this state were
$28.93 week, according to the state
department of labor. These figures
were the highest during the war and
were reached last October. The pub
licity agents of big business never
got down to facts in their campaign
against what they termed "silk-shirt
wages" and created the impression
that rates were many times greater
than $2893 week.
The state department of labor
states that the July average shows
drop of S3.67 week, or Is pei
cent, from the October record.

DISARM OR BE RUINED

Williamson, Mass.-Europe faces
the alternative of reduction in arma-
ment or ruin, said Viscount James
Brice, in lecture in this city.
"As the greater European countries
are already beggared by the last
war;" he said, cit is plain that they
will be, ere long, ruined by the con-
tinuance of expenditure on the pres
ent scale"
In expressing the hope that the in
vited nations will attend the disar-
mament conference, called by the
United States, the speaker said:
''No difficulties can be allowed to de-
ter the nations from graphing with
an enterprise of such urgent import
ance."

DEATHS AT SEA
Caused By Strikebreaking
Crew

Portland, -Strikebreaking sea-
men and the anti-union policy of YES
sci owners are responsible for the
loss of 40 lives and the steamer Alas
ka, which struck reef near Eureka,
California.
The vessel was manned by strike
breakers, recruited when the vessel
owners, acting with the United States
shipping board, reduced wages, re-
established the 12-hour work day at
sea and refused the request of organ
lied seamen and marine engineers
that American citizens be given first
preference in employment.
The incompetency of the Alaska's
crew can be, appreciated when it is
recalled that she stayed afioat 27 min
utes after she struck the reef Union
sailors declare that a competent crew
could man the life boats and get
every passenger off in one-third that
time, with the remaining time suffi-
cient to pull away from the vortex
caused by the sinking ship.
1t is stated that the strikebreakers
knew nothing of swinging life boat
filled with men and women free from
the ship. Many lives were lost by
dropping one end of these boats while
| the other end was held
In 1916 the Bear was wrecked in
nearly the same spot as the Alaska
The Bear had trade union crew and
all passengers were taken off in ar
orderly manner. Last year the Nc,
Cormack line steamer Klamath went
down under the same conditions as the
Bear, and again no lives were lost

GETTING BETTER.

Many bankers and business men
throughout the country are daily tell
ing us that a revival in business is
now beginning, which will soon carry
things back to a normal basis.
Whether or not these gentlemen are
really in earnest or whether they are
endeavoring to create an atmosphere
Of confidence that of itself will make
for revival of trade we do not know,
but there are signs that they are not
far wrong in their predictions and
that business is already growing bet
ter. But there is still no apparent
change for the better in the cotton
market and there is not likely to be
until after the acreage for 1921 is
determined accurately. Undoubtedly,
there is large oversUpply of cotton
on hand, which must be carried by
somebody. The world somehow is
Ioathe to believe that the acreage is
going to be materially reduced. In
