guilty to contempt of court before
"Dennie" Sullivan yesterday and were

impatient at the delays that had been
forced on them for more than two
weeks and, knowing they would only
face further delays if they insisted on
a trial, decided to plead guilty to the
contempt charges.
The knowledge that they could not
hope to get any sort of justice at the
hands of Sullivan, and that their
trial" would only be farce when it
occurred, helped the workers to de-
eide to plead guilty. Most of the
workers had jobs and were anxious
to get out of court in order to return
to their work
While pronouncing sentence Den
ME" sat on the bench and delivered a
lot of blah at the strikers. The strik-
ers looked at "Dennie" and wished he
would hurry up his speech so they
could get out of his hands once and
for all.
TayIor's Story Canned.
Judge Foell fined David Krause, a
striker, 500 for contempt. Dudley
Taylor was prosecuting him. The
whole case against Krause seemed to
be that he had been fined by Sullivan
for contempt before. Taylor swore
himself as witness and told a wild
tale about Krause's beating up of a
scab. The tale was so evidently ap
pie sauce that Judge Foell ordered il
struck from the record. But just the
same Foell slapped fine OF 500 on
Krause
The fact that Dudley has not been
having the easy success that first met
his efforts to send strikers to jail il
telling on him. He looks worried and
| is always out of patience. Labor mer
who have known Taylor for years de
clare that he never shows emotion
But lately he has begun to show the
strain Of defeat For 1t is defeat fol
him IL he is unable to send workers
to jail. Yesterday he looked like the
victim of an unsuccessful monkey
gland operation. While making out
the order which when signed by the
judge would release Krause till after
an appeal in the case had been taken
he trembled violently.
Foell Gets Rough.
1t is evident that Judge Foell is in
creasing the severity Of his sentences
as the busy season in the women's
dress industry draws near, in an eff
fort to stop picketing. SO far he has
not worked his courage up TO the
point OF handing out stiff jail sen
fences to the strikers, as Sullivan
does, but he is as severe as he thinks

Wanted To Keep Some PIums.
Farrington's attempt to keep some
plums still hanging from his patron
age tree provoked bitter fight The
machine thot they could put their
plan thru because some of the dele
gates were not clear as to the i'm
portance of the exemption of the le-
gal department from the conventions
decision.
Delegate Tom Parry, of Diyernon,
put the issue before his fellow min
ers when he Showed how Harrington
used his legal investigators" for po-
litical purposes.
Act AS SIuggers.
He began to tell how these legal
investigators, paid out of the union
treasury, were used as sluggers to
beat up members of rank and file
committee that came from BelIeville
to Springfield in 1919, to plead for a
higher rate of wages. They were get
ting only $500 day. The sluggers
were illegal" department appointees
of Harrington.
Parry's shot hurt and Harrington
ruled him out of order. Fifty to sixty
delegates we're on their feet demand
ing the right to speak, but the chair
man allowed none of them to speak
Cold-bloodedly, harrington then in
formed Parry that the committeeman
never would have been beaten up had
they stayed home in Belleville.
Shut OF Debate.
Debate on this vital issue was shut
off by the district president after his
own speech urging the convention tC
reverse its previous decision. During
his own talk, Harrington viciously
assailed John Hindmarsh, one Of the
leaders Of the rank and file move
ment.
Crying out that he had never seer
such a well organized opposition al
any convention, Harrington attacked
the militants for coming to Peoria
with the intention of destroying his
machine.
Would Mean Complete Defeat.
Loss OF the appointive power, Far
rington admitted, would mean his
complete defeat. He urged the dele
gates to vote against their instruc
tions.
Amusement reigned In the conven
ton when tellers announced that thu
amendment to the committees report
allowing legal investigators to be ap
pointed, had carried by 291 TO 21I
vote. Cries for roll call vote cam'
from all over the hall.
Thirty Minutes Of Turmoil.
For thirty minutes there was tur
MOL while Harrington used all hi
trickery TO prevent the roll call, bu
he was compelled to yield to the con
vention rules, which require roll cal

The roll call vote was taken with

THE PRIMARY ELECTION
 LAW

There is nothing which has done more to clear up the political at- mosphere of Alaska and give the voters a fair chance than the direct primary.
 During the days of Shackleford and other political bosses the nom- nations for office were dictated by one man, or at most by two or three men. It made little difference for whom people voted at the caucus. The proxies for the convention were bought and sold like fish on the dock.
 Shackleford always knew where and how to smite the rock that gave forth the sweet water at election time. Before every convention he managed to find $15,O0O or $2O,OOO

LAWYER AS WITNESS
Attorney McCOrd Begins Testi- mOny With ''I Do Not
 Know"

In the last hearing on fisheries, B. $. McCord opposed the provision of the Sutherland bill that would abolish traps in all narrow bays and channels and said:
 "Now, l do not know what is the percentage of traps that would be eliminated absolutely by the act it. self, and not left to the discretion of the Secretary of Commerce, or the Bureau of Fisheries, but had it investigated to some extent. l had it investigated two years ago when the bill was contemplated and my recollection is that it was 75 per cent. l would like to ask MT. OMal- ley if he has any records in his of- flee, or whether he knows how many of these traps would De eliminated by this provision
 (Note: you would think now that O'Malley thru his Bureau of Fish cries having dozens and dozens of employees here in Alaska could give an answer to this question which has been before Congress for two years).
 MT. O'Malley. We made a tenta- tive (whatever that means)) eXami- nation of it a year ago; and as recall it now, it looked to us that it would eliminate between 50 and 60 per cent of the traps.
 MT. Sutherland. You own 23 traps in western Alaska. Mr. Shields, your superintendent, said that under that bill would be eliminated-25 per cent-and you own a majority of traps in western Alaska.
 MT. McCord. 1 do not know about that.
 (Note: It takes donkey engine to get the truth out of these big cannery men or their lawyers).

for political purposes, and when the convention opened he had the prox- ies in the hands of himself and his lieutenants, no matter for whom the delegates had been instructed.
 In 1916 the Republicans of Ket- chikan elected seven delegates for the Seward convention. All were in- structed for Wickersham, because at that time it was only a question be- tween Wickersham or some man named by Shackleford, and the lat ter was in bad odor in Ketchikan.
 The proxies were given to John Davis with the idea that he would go to Seward and vote the Ketchikan proxies. He did not get to Seward, but he turned the proxies over to Faulkner.
 Petersburg the same summer elect ed three delegates instructed for Wickersham. The proxies were duly executed and turned over to a man who agreed to give them to a certain friend of Wickersham. But they never reached him. They turned up in the pockets of MT. Faulkner.
 Seventy-five Wickersham proxies were sent out from Fairbanks with one Lloyd. He was met at Chitina by a Shackleford agent and was walked into the Shackleford camp.
 And so it went, year after year, until the liberal element in the legis- lature put over the primary law. It disarmed the boss.
 The next year Shackleford left the country. We still have Tom Don hooe, but he has no party. He has only an Organization"
 The entire Democratic ticket is bent on abolishing the primary law and driving the country back into the corrupt practices of the Shackleford days.
 The entire standpat ticket has ex- actly the same platform though they do not dare to announce it in public.
 It is evident that the battle for a free ticket must be fought at the primary election. If the Republican standpatters' should carry their tick ct through it is immaterial who is elected for the legislature in the fall.
 The contest would at that time he between men representing identical ideas-political corruption and boss ism.
 Let the people be on guard.

GEORGE W. EDMONDS
Fish Expert From Philadelphia


 ary and February, l ran across the following statement by the Hon. George w. Edmonds, representative from Philadelphia, which deserves to be printed. Page 16; MT. Edmonds: "I have been in Alaska and l know something about the fisheries there, and 1 have studied them from the Bureau of Fisheries reports, and l have been able to keep in touch with then, and 1 think that general authorization, backed up by a good department, and think we have good department today; will proba- bly, fill the bill as we'll as trying to go to work and specifically detail the size of the nets, the length of the nets-if the mouth of the stream is 8 miles, then the net can be 600 feet long; if it is 4 miles, then it can be 400 feet long, etc. l do not SC how you can do it."
 If our fisheries question were not so serious, we could laugh at the supreme ignorance and self-assur- ance of this know-it-all who learned all there was to learn by one visit to Alaska on an excursion boat Ill the year 1906; and then studied Bureau of Fisheries reports"
 The incident this latest exhibition of MT. Edmond's knowledge" re- minds me of was this: l went to his office and we began to talk about gear, traps, gill-nets, pound- nets, stakenets, drittnets, floating traps, pile traps. lie got all tangled up as l began to talk rapidly about the different gear, gong quickly from one kind to the other. AnG since he was trying to defend the trap system, he thought he would change the subject by attacking the seine, so he said:
 "Why, the seines are worse than the traps. When 1 was i'll Alaska, the seines were so thick in the bay, that our steamer could not get thru them. Finally we had to simply blow our way thru cutting the seines."
 l said, "Why, MT. Edmonds, don't know a single place where you can even see the fishing grounds from a steamer travelling thru southeastern Alaska. When were you in Alaska ?"
 "In 19O6."
 'Now where was this place that you saw the seines?" l inquired.
 He answered, "At Port Essing- ton."
 Ha! Ha!
 Port Essington is in British Col umbia, and what he saw were gill nets, not seines- quite different. But little mistake like that did not phase him, for when 1 called him,
