Hoyt Jury Stood 3 for
 Acquittal, 3 Conviction

Fairbanks.-The trial of Romeo Hoyt charged with robbing the Fair banks postotiice about year ago, end ed in disagreement, the jury deliber- ating 27 hours. Nine of the jurors were for acquittsl, and three, including two women jurors, were for conviction.
 Judge Clegg announced that the case would be retried next fall
 The trial was very costly one, the government bringing many witnesses from the States, keeping them in Fair banks for several weeks.
 Attorney Guy B. Erwin, assisted by L. R. Gillette and E. B. Collins, prose- cuted the case, while HoYt was defend ed by Thomas A. Marquam.
 The fox farms in the Cook Inlet dis trict are worth approximately $500, 900, according to J. l.. Waller, Anchorage attorney, who is manager for the An chor Point Silver FGx Farm, Inc, says the Anchorage Daily Alaskan. Three of these fox farms alone are valued at half that amount, or $150, GOO, and there are few others whose values run into large figures.
 The last winter the Anchor Point silver fox farm disposed of about fifteen belts, which brought an average of S250 each, Mir. Waller states. The general price on the inlet for a pair of young foxes is about $500.

rying on the strike as they had been
doing, inasmuch as peaceful picket
ing was lawful, and carrying a ban
ner was lawful. Largely because of
Mr.. Catches determination in this
respect, it was possible for the strik-
ers to win their strike and reach a
settlement with the Massachusetts,
Baking company before the final
court action was taken in the case
eleven months afterwards.
In connection with the hearings
before the master, Mr.. Gatelee effec-
lively brought out the true character
of the Massachusetts, Baking com
pany's intentions, and the unreliaS
bility of its witnesses. AS an expe-
rienced trade unionist he knew that
in many injunction cases the dam
aging evidence against the strikers
was given to the court by members
of unions who, in reality, were spies
within the organization, serving their
masters for the Judas silver they re-
ceived by giving testimony which
would work to the strikers injury.
Two of the striking bakers gave
evidence before the master which
materially injured the strikers case.
Mr.. Gatelee cross-examined them as
vigorously as though they had been
professional strike-breakers. He asked
them if they had taken the members
oath of obligation when they were
initiated, and when they answered
yes, he read the obligation to the
master, and then asked the question:
How can the testimony of
these men have any weight, if,
after taking the obligation just
read, they can now testify as
they have just done? Is there
any reason for placing credence
upon anything that they might
testify in connection with this
case?"
The employers and their represent
atives were cross-examined in an
equally vigorous and pointed manner,

WINNING AN INJUNCTION CASE
How Labor, Without Lawyers, Slew One Dragon
in the Courts Of Massachusetts.

tice Pierce of the Massachusetts, su-
preme court, before whom the pre-
liminary hearing was held, instead
of issuing a temporary restraining
order, referred the case of the bak-
ers' strike against the Massaehus-
etts Baking company back to the orr
ginal parties with instructions to en-
deavor to effect an adjustment of
their differences.
The bakers made every effort to
reach a friendly settlement, but the
representatives of the Massachusetts
Baking company were unwilling to
modify their original determination
in any respect, the result being that
another hearing was held, this time
before Justice Carroll of the supreme
court in Boston, Mass. Attorney
Herbert A. Baker, representing the
Massachusetts Baking company, in
sisted upon the issuing of a tempo
rary restraining order, but instead of
complying with this request, Justice
Carroll referred the entire matter to
O hioSeSA AOA hcaAiASSB anu MI. GdJe-
lee, although having no legal train
ing, upon the request of the strikers,
represented them in the lengthy
hearings which were held before the
master.
He assumed quite different atti-
tude from that which has been taken
by many lawyers representing labor
in preliminary hearings in injunction
suits. The strikers were picketing
the Massachusetts, Baking company's
shop in Springfield. In addition they
were carrying banners in front of the
shop, and also actively boycotting the
firms product. Attorney Baker de-
manded that during the preliminary
hearing that those before the master
that the strikers should desist from
pieketing, boycotting and carrying
banners. Mr.. Gatelee refused to con-
sent to this, holding that no proceed
ings before the court would be per-
mitted to take from the strikers their
essential rights, and stating that SO
far as he was concerned he would
instruct the strikers to continue car

BACK UP THE LABOR PRESS
By John B. Moore.

Again let me urge upon the work
ers a more hearty support of the labor
press. When we realize the fact that
only through the columns of the la
Dor press can labor as such place
before the reading p'S0lic the true
facts in reference to the workers, and
when we understand the handicaps
under which the labor editor is COM
PEELED to work in competition with
the subserved press loaded down with
its columns of advertisements from
unfriendly business men and oncerns
and furthermore realizing that only
by our subscriptions can we continue
to tender the great service he is CIV
ing to the organized workers, it should
encourage us to do what we can to
help this great cause.
Let US strive to make the work of
the labor editor little more pleasant
by assuring him of our loyalty and
support, and let us do everything in
our power to extend the power of
the labor press and to extend its in
fuence to the end that it may, in the
near future, meet and compete with
the daily press of our country.

the result being that their testimony
and that Of their tools. who had been
uncovered as spies by Mr.. Gatelee,
was discredited, and in time the mas
ter made his report to the court, &C
companied by the Recommendation
that the facts presented during the
hearing did not justify the granting
of a temporary restraining order.
This report was one of the most
striking victories which labor in Mas
sachusetts had won since the Massa-
ehusetts supreme court had opened
wide the doors for the issuing Of in
functions, which practically prohibit
strikers from doing anything which
would assist them in winning their
strike. The story of the final dis
posal of this famous case will be told
in the next article.

LAY CLAIM TO
GOOD LABOR RECORD

Senator E. L. French, republican
candidate for governor at the Sep
TENDER primaries, says he will be un-
able to make an energetic personal
canvass among all those interested in
labor legislation but he will try to
call the public's attention to his rec
ord in the legislature. He takes the
position that during the IL years he
spent in the legislature he met and
voted upon almost all phases of la
Dor legislation and clearly defined his
views. His record of past perform
lances, he says, is the best guarantee
that he can make of his future pol
icy. The fact that he voted in favor
of the labor legislation placed on the
statute books during the period he
was either in the house or senate is
cited to show his fairness.

Injunction"


"The voice of the great multitude
of workers is now raised in protest
that the practice of Equity should
now seem to be used in administering
punishment rather than in affording
protection.
"If there is any issue of irrepar-

it is that suffered by the worker,
who, enjoined by the courts from
fighting back at the employer, sees
his savings dwindle away, his chill

by mounting debt.

! tracks Of birds. He followed them
until they were joined by bigger
tracks. Then Peter stopped. He sud
| denly lost interest. You see. those
| bigger tracks he recognized right
away. They We're the footprints of
Reddy Fox. Peter decided that that
was no place for him to be, for he
! knew that those footprints were
made only a very short time before
So away went Peter in quite
another direction. Presently he found
footprints very like his own. only
, very much bigger. They were the
footprints of his cousin, Jumper the
Hare. Il haven't seen Cousin Jumper
for a long time, so l guess III see if
1 can catch UP with him. thought
Peter.
He hurried lipperty- -lipperty-lip, fol-
lowing the trail of Jumper. 1t wound
this way and that among the trees
and crossed and recrossed. Gradually
it led toward the Laughing Brook.
Suddenly Peter sat up and stared
round-eyed at another trail that
crossed the trail of Jumper. 1t was
a queer trail. 1t was the queerest
trail Peter had ever seen. They were
footprints, but they We're queer foot
prints. They were quite round, and
following straight along with them
was a little furrow in the snow.
Peter guessed right away that this
was made by tail. That would
mean that the maker of the tracks
had short legs.
Right away Peter forgot all about
his cousin Jumper the Hare. He was
all curiosity to find out who had made
this queer trail. He turned and fol-
lowed it. Presently he came to
where there was a gentle slope.
There the footprints ended, but there
was a long furrow clear down to the
bottom of the slope 1t was as if
something had been pushed or
dragged down the slope to the bottom.
the slope he found the footprints
again. He noticed that this trail
always followed the easiest way. 1t
never led over logs or stumps, but
always around them. By and by he
came to another of those long fur
rows in the snow. He stopped TO
study it. He scratched long ear
with a long hind leg. He scratched
the other long ear with the other
was very much puzzled. He didn't
know what to make of this long fur
row without any footprints
The only way to find OUT he de-
cided, lis to catch up with the one
who has made this trail" So he hur
rled on, y-llpperty-llp. And so
at last he came to the top of steep
bank, at the bottom of which ran
the Laughing Brook. Beginning at
the top of this bank was another one
of those queer burrows. 1t ended
down below at the edge of the water.
Peter looked across the Laughing
Brook. He could see no trail on the
other side. He looked everywhere,
but could see no signs of that trail.
1t simply ended right there at the
Laughing Brook.
