AGAINST TARIFF
WATSON DECLARES
Simmons Brands Talk and One
Made by McCumber as
PrepOsterOus.

Washington. June 22-Another ad-
dress in the series planned by republic
ans in charge of the tariff bill. designed
to show that importers and big depart
ment stores are fighting that measure
because they do not want their profits
cut down, was delivered Thursday in
the senate by Senator Watson. repub-
lican, Indiana. 1T drew a sharp reply
from Senator Simmons, democratic
leader in the tariff fight.
Exhibiting score of foreign
made articles, Senator Watson ex-
planned they had been purchased by
government agents in New York at
prices ranging from 65 per cent to l.
143 per cent above the cost landed in
this country as shown by official rec
ords. He argued this showed the i'm
porters and department stores were be-
hind propaganda move to defeat the
bill.
Senator Simmons, in his reply, de-
clared that as a tariff argument. Sen
ator Watson's speech and one of sim
liar nature made last week by Senator
McCumber, republican, North Dakota,
were "preposterous and ridiculous" be
cause the cost and selling prices of
American made goods comparable to
the imported articles exhibited had not
been given.

he had 20 to 30 deputies at work and
that everything possible was being

MEN At MINE
WE'RE KILLED
Farrington's Word Is
Thought Confirmation
of Wholesale Murder.
No Grand Jury Called
and No Arrests Have
Been Made at Herrin.

Herrin, Ill.,, June 23.-(By The AS
sociated Press. "A statement of
Frank Harrington in Cincinnati that
A persons were killed in the mine war
was interpreted here as official con-
firmation that every one of the be-
sieged strike breakers was either shot
to death or seriously wounded
These rumors, whispered back and
forth during the day had not been pub
lished heretofore, but Mr.. Farrington's 9
statement brought open statements
from scores of persons that the attack
on the mine was a massacre in which
the dead were shot down in cold blood
Not a man on the street made any at
tempt to deny that those attacked were
dsarmed and then murdered after they
had surrendered
Miners Arc Defended
All, however, defended the action Of
the attackers as justified under the
circumstances, explaining that ''scabs
should be treated that way, especially
as they had been warned to leave"
The action of Governor Small in
mobilizinng troops at Chicago brought
considerable comment, the substance
of it being that It was too late for
troops now.
The inquest Is scheduled for Friday
but so far there have been no official
steps taken to investigate the affair
No Grand Jury Called
No grand jury has been summoned
and no arrests have been made. Min
ers openly boast that they were in the
attacking party but there is no action
against them. When the correspond
ent of the Associated Press Thursday
night asked score of miners what
action could be expected, he was
laughed at and told that no action was
needed. Everywhere the attack was
upheld.
Sheriff Thaxton, who explained his
failure to call for troops by saying
be was out of town, still insisted that
there was no need for state protection
and that he had the situation well in
hand"
Think No Survivors
With Mr.. Farrington's estimate Of
AZ imported workers killed and more
than dozen wounded in the hospital,
it was considered certain that not a
man of the besieged escaped. Many of
them were dragged along the roads
after being shot. others were stoned.
others were attacked with clubs, others
were ripped to pieces with knives. and
in not single instance, so far as
could be learned. was a man given a
chance. They were brutally murdered
by men who laughed as they shot, ac-
cording to eye witnesses.

(Tribune's Helena Bureau)


Helena. June 22.-"Conley was so
easy and soft that we just rode him.
We took everything we could from him
and gave back just as little as we
could" testified A. NJ. Anderson. for
mer secretary Of state, Thursday
while on the stand as a witness in the
case Of the state against Conley, when
relating his recollection of the dealings
from 1913 to 1917, between Conley and
the state board of prison commissioners
in relation to the state prison.
Thursday, for the first time since
the commencement of the trial April
II, Conley was not in court, he having
left Helena by automobile Thursday
morning at the request of Mrs. c. B.
Nolan, accompanying her to Butte
where Mr.. Nolan. chief counsel for
Conley in the suit, was in a critical
condition and was to submit to his
second surgical operation within "a
hours.
j. N. Dubie. former superintendent
of the brick plant, who had testified
Wednesday, was recalled by the de-
fense and said the only machinery in
the garage before or after the change
of wardens was an air compressor. He
testified that no convicts ever signed
were required to sign the receipt stubs
for brick, that he never knew of COnley
having sold brick that was not ac-
counted for, that the loss in brick dur
ing manufacture and up to the time it
reached the wall was from five to 10
per cent, and that there was 10000
brick and tile on hand in the brick yard
when Conley quit as warden.
Charped Brick to C0nIev
Under cross examination he said that
all the brick he ever knew Of having
gone to Conley was charged to him and
that in the two sessions he managed
the plant approximately 2,SOO, 900
brick were produced of which about
100000 were made under Conley's ad-
ministration.
A. NJ. Anderson, secretary Of state
from 1913 to 1917, testified as to his
knowledge of the leasing of the Ayles-
worth ranch. under which the state
was to get the vegetables and Conley
the hay and pasturage. Under cross

fled to the large circle of friends

hour Thursday night were that his

examination by Attorney General We'll
lingtOn d. Rankin the latter induced the
witness to say the hay from the Ayles-
worth ranch was to be used in feeding
the horses engaged upon prison work
and if this was not sufficient it would
be supplemented by other hay.
Under redirect examination by the
defense, he said the state was bound to
provide hay for Conley's horses, that
the hay ON the Aylesworth ranch be-
longed to Conley and he could do with
it as he pleased, burn it up if he
wanted to-" but if he used this hay to
feed his horses the state would be
bound to recompense him
When Rankin called his attention to
his previous statement that the Ayles-
worth hay was to be used to feed the
horses, the witness said counsel had
trapped him into making a statement
which could be interpreted that way.
The witness said that the board had
an arrangement with Conley to furnish
milk at something like eight cents per
gallon but that Conley was constantly
importuning the board to buy the dairy
herd. which the board would not do.
He said it was always understood
Conley should have the use of convicts
at the dairy and that bills for the milk
were always audited and paid.
Questioned by Mr.. Rankin as to why
the board did not advertise for bids
for milk. Mr.. Anderson replied:
Milk Cheaper From ConIey
Because it would have been silly to
do so. We were getting milk cheaper
than any other person could possibly
furnish it,"
As to the use by the state of Con-
ley's horses. the witness said the board
had an arrangement whereby Conley
furnished horses, wagons and equip
ment. for which he was to be provided
feed by the state for the horses and
convict labor to work them. He said
the state was to maintain the outfit
and he assumed that this included re-
placements, although he did not recall
that this matter had ever been dis
cussed.
Under cross examination he did not
recall how many horses Conley had or
how many were required or were work

The program of four constitutional
amendments, repeal of the Sherman

new measures, which was adopted by
the convention by almost unanimous

ing before adoption, speakers isaid,

council. The amendments include
congressional veto of supreme court de-
cisions. the guarantee to labor of the
right to organize. to bargain collectively
and to strike, the prohibition of child

than the present for amending the con-
stitution. Enactment of new federal

preting the labor sections of the Clay
ton act were included as a part of
the program.

nominate Joseph A. Franklin, president
Of the boilermakers union. in opposi-
ton to the reelection of Treasurer
Daniel Tobin. who is president of the
teamsters' union. Supporters of both
men were claiming victory. but both
were busy trying to line up support
among the delegates.
Let Maintenance Men Back
Three jurisdictional disputes also
were disposed of by the convention, the
settlement in one resulting in the re-
instatement. effective July /, of the
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees. who were suspended from
the federation a year ago.
It's reinstatement was part OF
a compromise agreement ending the
dispute with the carpenters The COM
promise provided that the brotherhood
should do all work on the railroad right
of way. except that new construction
work should be done by the carpen-
ters.
The electrical workers were success
full in their fight with the steam engi-
neers as TO which union should have
charge Of operating travelling electric
