responsible for strikes in cities are
always in the minority and often
include hired disturbers."
The other departments Of the fedora
ton also held their annual meetings,
the gathering of the metal trades union
delegates being marked by adoption Of a
resolution approving President James
OConnell's report complaining that the
government administration was hostile
to labor and adding that President
Harding had favored national board
founded on the principle of the Kansas
industrial court act.
"In substance President Harding s
recommendation" the resolution said,
"is that there should be a federal board
with power to determine wage rates
and terms of employment" Such leg
islation. the resolution added, would
create class distinction and was criti-
cized as economically unsound'
The metal trades department also
went on record as favoring the estab-
lshment of cost finding agencies, both
federal and state, declaring it was "a
fact that in some staples, the
selling price is 300 to 800 per cent
more than the combined items of labor
costs and all overhead manufacturing
expenses"

of $4,000, these relating to the goods
removed by Conley on the day or two
Immediately prior to his removal as
warden.
Mr. Conley testified that he learned
| of the proposed change of wardens
April II, 1921, by telephone message
from Helena to the effect that the
| prison board would be over the follow
ing morning to take over the prison.
He said he had been warden of the
prison since 1908 and in the meanwhile
had accumulated about the prison a lot
of personally owned property, including
two complete blacksmithing outfits and
lot of farm implements consisting
of wagons, mowers, harness, scrapers,
hay derricks and other articles.
He said the implements had been kept
at the Aylesworth ranch from 1910,
when Conley & McTague had sold the
Deer Lodge farms and that thereafter
they were used by the state under an
agreement with the state board to the
effect that the state would make re-
placements. He said this agreement ap-
piled to the horses as well.
ConIey Bought 10 Cars
Conley testified that he had bought
at different times about 10 automobiles
for the use of himself and the state
and had paid for them personally. The
state was to furnish the gasoline and
the tires. One car was used nearly
every day for five years in trips to
Warm Springs and Galen, and Conley
used one to travel to the several
ranches and in coming to Helena once
or twice a week On both prison and
highway commission business. He said
the state was to furnish gas for the
car used BY his wife but the state al
ways had the preferential right to the
use of this car and he used it generally
in connection with highway commission
work.
He was then asked about the prison
store and the keeping of goods owned
by himself and by Conley & McTague
upon the rear platform in the store
building. Here, he said, was stored
camp outfits, stoves, several barrels
of miscellaneous articles and near it
the large plank box In which he kept
revolvers. hunting rifles and shotguns
81 in all. These belonged to himself
individually, he said, and they were
kept securely locked so they would not
be available for the convicts in the
event of a break
Tells Of 1908 Fight
He said that at the time three con-
victs tried to kill him March s, 1908
they did not get to these guns but used
knives and he was so badly cut up
that 1t required 103 stitches to close
his wounds. He added that one deputy
warden was killed and two of the CON
victs were afterwards hung.
Conley said he furnished the ammu-
nltion for these guns and kept it in
boxes alongside the gun case.
In view of the fact that the man
appointed warden TO succeed me and
/ had not spoken in II years decided

Hoover Says Price
Climb of Coal Has
Responded to Brake

Washington. June S.-Agitatiou
breaking out on the floor of the senate
over the administrators efforts to
keep hituminous coal prices from climb
ing during the strike was met Thurs
day night by Secretary Hoover with a
statement asserting that 1.-The essential
thing about coal prices ia that the run
away market has been stopped" Ex-
cept for "a small percentage Of the
present producers who have refused to
cooperate" he contended prices have
receded from the level reached on May
10. and the public has been protected
from a repetition of 1920 conditions.
Precipitated by Senator Walsh, dem

that the public patience was being ex-

changed the slips but had merely
meant to charge that they had been
changed without designating any par
ticular person.
Couldn't they have been changed by
convicts?" asked Mr.. Rankin.
mo, they were changed over here,
was the reply.
"Who gave you the information? p
he was asked.
81 don't want to tell that" answered
Conley. '"The information did not come
direct. 1t came to me third handed"
The witness then said that the al
location of the goods from the prison
store by means of these slips was
principally for the purpose of compil-
ing statistical information at the end
of the year and that eventually all
charges were made to prison mainten-
ance.
Wasn't the system very loose?" the
attorney general asked.
Says System Unchanged
"You might think so,'' replied Con-
lev. "You have the same system there
now except that you are paying $175 a
month for a storekeeper. | always fig
ured that convict storekeeper would
get away with $40 or $15 worth of
goods in month, and that was far
cheaper than paying salary and taking
chances on losing that much in goods
anyway. The advantage WAS that a
convict storekeeper was there all the
time and a paid storekeeper was gone
a good part of the time"
Under questioning by Attorney j. z.
O'Connor the witness said there was
no real purpose in having these slips
show charges to the various depart
ments other than to show distribution
and that the prison books or the state
would not h.ve been effected had none
been used. lie said that any errors in
the slips really amounted to nothing as
all were eventually charged to prison
maintenance.
Mr. O'Connor then brought up the
table delicacies question which the at
torney general had brought out the
previous day and he read the only items
which the state had been able to bring
into the record for the period of 1908
to 1921 as follows:
Forty-eight cans of mushrooms in
1917, $34.S0; sardins in 1917, $17.5O;
and two cases of Holsters in 1920,
$3.50; a total of $13O.SO for the
13 years.
The witness was asked how much
wood from Conley & McTague ranches
the state had gotten the advantage of
and he replied that he thought about
so cords but the boys say between 80
and 100 cords. He said he had never
used state purchased coal at any place
other than those to which he was en-
titled under his contract

Judge O'Connor then announced that
the defense was ready to proceed under
