"Black Oxen" comes with a little

for surprise, however. is that it ap-

We were surprised also at the nrst

Charges Evidence Against
Couple Due to Police {
Frame-Up. ,

The unexpected happened in Police
Court yesterday during the Jury trial
of Charles Ehlers and his wife, Mrs.
May Ehlers, charged jointly with sale
and illegal possession Of corn whisky,
when Zach Hill, government agent,
took the stand and declared that he
had never before seen either Mr.. on
Mrs. Ehlers and that the whole
prosecution was a frame-up by the
police. This testimony of the gov
ernment's most important witness,
who was supposed to relate how he
had bought four times from the de-
PENDANTS. brought forth from the jury
verdict for acquittal.
The case yesterday was made out
upon information by Lieut.. Wilson,
Sergt Mccormick and. Detective
Brown, who raided the defendants
residence, 1924 Kennedy street. on the
night of January 10, 1928. when it
was alleged they seized twenty-three
half-gallon jars of corn whisky. Pre-
vious to this raid a search warrant
had been made out and aff1davits
signed on the grounds that four sales
had been made by Ehlers TO Zach
Hill.
Hill declared on the witness stand
that he had not signed his name tpJ
the affidavit upon which the search
warrant had been issued and that the
police making the raid had threat
ened to do him bodily harm if he did
not make good in purchasing whisky
from Ehlers The police emphatically
denied all the charges against them

of the great builders Of capital.
Whether it concentrates its savings

of which the number Is rapidly in
creasing, or pools them with the gen
era1 savings OF society by making its
deposits in other banks. the result is
the same. Labor Is more and more
of its own employment We shall not
go back to the time when consider
able elements In the community were
wont to assume that sharp line of
demarcatfon should be drawn between
labor and capital. Labor Is becoming
more and more a capitalist on Its own
account, and capital is more and more
discovering that It must work, must
contribute, must give us, through
some supertordty OF method and man
ence as a sort of separate estate.
Those to whom the management and
investment of capital is tntrusted
must recognise, as I know most Of
them already do. that the right OF or
cial enlciencies which come to or
ganizatfon, Is not the exclusive pre-
rogative Of capital. It Is equally the
prerogative Of labor.
l am quite aware that there were
some who imagined, before the pres
ent administration was voted into re-
sponsibility, that 1t was going at
least to acquiesce II not definitely
sympathize with projects for the de-
fiation of labor and the overthrow of
labor organizations. Before this time
these have come to realize their error.
Nothing has been farther from the
purpose of the present administra att on
than any thought of destroying the
right of either labor or capital to or
ganize, and each to deal In Its or
ganiZed capacity.

We have recognized that there are
evils and abuses on both sides Of the
almost imaginary line which now is
presumed to separate labor and capi-
tai. We have wished and sought to
minimize these abuses, through better
organizations and better understanding,
without destroying organizations or
the right to form them. We have not
wished TO compel men to work when
they did not want to work: we have
not wished to compel employers to
keep men at work under conditions
which were impossible; but we have
earnestly sought to lessen the occa-
sions for conflict between the two
parties. We have tried to bring to
both Of them a realization that both
owed in this connection an obligation
to the great public interest which is
always the great sufferer by reason
of their conflict.
In this connection let me say quite
frankly that know there were some
elements which hoped for q great and
decisive conflict between organized en-
ployment and organized labor. and that

The text of President Harding's
address last night at Helena, Mont,
follows:
My countrymen: One of the great
est lessons which the world war
taught to society was a realization
Of its stupendous producing capacity
under modern organization. When
the war started many of us, probably
most of US. believed 1t could not last
very long because we could not con-
ceive that 1t could be economically
and industrialiy supported for long
time. We had been taught to believe
nually consumed pretty nearly all
that 1t produced, and that in order
to maintain this ratio 1t was neces-
sary to keep all the producers steadily
at work. We were convinced that
when the most efficient producers
were taken by millions away from
the fields, the shops, the mines and
the Offices and set at the business Of
armed destruction, they would very
presently pull down upon themselves
the whole fabric of our complex
industrial system. and that the war
would be smothered in the ruins
This view was the basis of what be-
came almost an obsession with many
people, indeed with most of the best
informed people, during the early
stages of the war. 1t was commonly
and freely said that economic eX-
struggle before a year, and much
! more popular limitation was six
months.
TheoSts Proyee False.
The e.ox. showed how very little
we understood either the tremendous
producing capacity of the community
| as a whole or the strength and
solidity of our industrial structure.

passed the world was just beginning
to realize that in all probability the
struggle was only In It's larger begin

men were being trained for II. At the

those elements were not all on either
side Of the imaginary dividing line. On
the capital side of the line were those
who hoped that the administration
would lend itself to their program of
breaking down organized labor and
sending 1t back to the era Of individual
bargaining for the individual sob. On
who hoped, by exorbitant demands and
an attitude of incorporating insis-

structton of private capital and the
Of all the instrumental

If I could make the fortunate pic

would speak Of Russia and the colos-
sal failure of its mad experiment.
The dissatisfied working forces Of
America, where there are such, and
the parlor theorists who have yet to
create a single thing useful to aspir-
Ing human kind. will find there less
little OF hope in much proclaimed
emancipation. Royal absolutism has
been destroyed, only to be superseded
by what appears to be despotism in
the name of democracy. To limited
few of democracy's advocates has
come vast power. Perhaps wealth at
tends. Undoubtedly a new Russia is
in the making. and there Is no doubt
the present sponsorship will survive.
Apart from the tragedy Of 1T all,
am glad Russia Is making the expert
ment. If twenty centuries of the
Christian era and it's great story of
human progress, and the countless
centuries before the light OF Christi
anity famed have been lived and re-
corded upon mistaken theories Of a
righteous social order, then every
thing is wrong, Christianity a failure,
and all Of civilization a failure.

There is something evangelical
about, President Harding's western
travels. His ardor for social justice
and the rights of labor is mingled
with expressions of deep religious
feryor and moral appeal. Two of his
predecessors were successful by SINH
lar petition in enhancing their pres
.tige. Whatever effect it may have
whether it disappoints the so-called
''hard-boiled" element in the repub-
lican party which has been generous
with campaign contributions because
of belief that Harding would bring

wages, or whether it tends to bring

President who proclaims himself a
progressive-therec can hardly be any
doubt that Warren Harding is sin
cerely convinced of the merit of his
own doctrine. He is inspired by an
idealism that seems constantly to be
oattling to get away from the mate
.talistic tendency of the age. This is
>owhere better illustrated than in the
following lines of his peroration at
Helena:
Mankind never has stood more in
need than it does now Of the consola-
tions and reassurances which derive
from a. firm religious faith. There
must be no mistake whereby we shall
confuse the things which are of eter-
nifty with those which are of time. We
must not let our engrossment with
the. things of matter and of mind dis
tract us from a proper concern for
those which are of the spirit and the

STRIKERS RIOTS ENDED
ONLY BY FEAR OF TROOPS
BY the Associated Press.

SYDNEY, N. s.. June e0.-Rioting
among striking employees of the Brit
ish Empire Steel Corporation, who
last night invaded the property Of
the company and fought a two
hours battle with city police, ended
early today shortly before the ex-
pected arrival of troops from Halifax.
The strikers were dissuaded at the
last moment by their leaders from
their intention of massing at the
railway station and attacking the
soldiers. The mob broke up after
five rioters had been arrested.
Property damage was slight, the
strikers asserting they were not bent
on sabotage, but wanted merely to
"clean out the strikebearers."
The strikers seek an eight-hour
day, 20 per cent increase in wages
and the check-off system OF handling
union dues.
An attempt to wreck the railway
train. which early today brought
troops from Halifax to prevent a re-
.currence of last nights rioting
among striking employees of the
British Empire Steel Corporation,
was discovered a half hour before the

Frankly. I am one of those old
fashioned people who would be glad
IL the way could be found to main
tain the traditional relations of
father, mother, children and home.
But very plainly these relations are
in process of a great modification.
The most we can do. to the utmost
possible extent, is to readapt our
conditions Of industry and of living
SO as to enable the mothers to make
the utmost of their lessened oppor-
tunity for shaping the lives and
minds of their children. We must
hope, and we must make it possible,
that mothers will not assume. when
their babies of yesterday become the
schoolboys and schoolgirls of to-
day, that the responsibility of the
mother Is ended, and that the teacher,
the school authorities. the college,
the state, will henceforth assume It..
Rather, we must recognize that no
other influence can possibly be sub
stituted for that Of motherhood. and
we must make 1t possible for the
mothers to cooperate with these
social institutions of the new order,

Will Keep Advantages.


We know now that the advances
which were thus effected in the di-
rection of social justice and economic
equality will not be relinquished
without determined opposition. There
were those who. regarding the in
justices of the old order as inevita-
BILE. mistakenly assumed that by a
simple process which they called the
"def1ation of labor" the old relation
ships would presently be restored.
They insisted that wages must
come down.; some of them went so far
as to sound the slogan that organ
lied labor must be crushed" These
have forgotten the lesson in organf-
cation, in cooperation, in community
of sacrifice, by which civilization had
been able to rescue itself. They had
forgotten that the right=of organiza-
ton, and of cooperative dealings, Is
not any longer the special preroEa-
tive of management and of capital.
