laws against selling liquor to drunken
persons and the laws prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes are not properly en
forced. He said that these two evils,
the saloon and the cigarette, produce
more deaths In the country than any
other features of American life, and
he thought It would be well to have a
strict enforcement of the laws against
liquor and tobacco, as he said there
would be no drunkards If the police
would enforce the law against the
sale of liquor to a drunken man.
The matters were referred to Chief
of Police Gritzmacher for a report.
The Chief said after the meeting that
both laws are being enforced, and
there are standing; orders posted at
headquarters which bear out his as
sertion to that effect. There have
been numerous arrests for violations
of both laws.

A Dangerous
The only trust having the impudence
to openly assert that It is going to
elect its own trust representatives to
public office is the Ttbor Trust.
The election therefore will determine
whether the Common Citizens retain
control of public affairs, or allow the
Labor Trust magnates to govern.
The common man loses his liberty
when he and his fellow citizens allow
any organization or trust to get con
trol, for each trust, whether of labor
or capital. Is in business to .gather
every dollar possible and divide up
among the members (if the managers
leave any).
And where do they gather all thl
ATtrn mnnev?
Tho Meat, Steel, Oil and other Capital
trtiata raise tha nrice of their products.
The Labor Trust does tne same thing
by boosting the price of the plumoer,
meatchonner. ironworker, shoemaker,
baker, etc., etc., and by fining them for
breaking rules and also fining em-
nlnvera.
The particular shoemakers, bakers,
etc.. etc., who happen to be members
of the Labor Trust mar not get much
extra money out of it. but the Trust
Managers seem to handle heavy sums.
Now, to got back to tne question.
Where does an tnis money come
this extra money both labor and capi
tal trusts are striving for? There is
only one place for them to get it, my
friends, and that is from the pocKet oi
the common citizen not a member of
any trust. He is the long-suttenng
workman who pays to add extra dollars
. it., enmlnurs of both Labor and
Cnnital Trusts.
We admit that both trusts are right
enough .in trying to earn all they can.
but the citizens tney are reeon y on,
absolutely must keep awane ana pro
tw-t tnemsbives at the polls and before
the courts or the trust members get
fatter and the common citizen mm
ner. The non-trust citizens are heavily
in the majority and protect themselves
easily when roused, but they often al
low designing men to manipulate poli
ticians and laws until the common peo
ple are helpless.
Why do you speak of the 'Labor
Trust?" some one asks.
It has been clearly defined as a trust
In the fullest sense of the word by tha
best lawyers in America, including
Clarence Darrow, the attorney for the
American Federation of Labor, and by
the United States Supreme Court it
self. You see, all trusts are formed to ac
complish certain things.
Control production. Control prices.
Control members of the trust.
Get the highest price the public will
stand.
The Meat trust controls and sells
meat, the Labor Trust controls and
sells labor, both feed off the public,
and it is perfectly safe to assume that
the managers of either or any trust
will "soak" the citizens for every dol
lar they can get, only limited ny tne
amount of power the people will give
f.very one agrees that combinations
of capital or labor In the formation of
trusts are legal and produce an un
certain amount of good.
The Oil trust greatly Improved the
quality of oil and sells it at about one
haif the price It was when the trust
was formed. Members of this trust
have given several million dollars for
colleges, churches and other public
works.
But what would this trust do to the
people if given unlimited power?
The Labor Trust has supplied good
paying positions for several hundred
officials of the trust and has paid out
a good many thousand dollars to sup
RAISE GRAVE ISSUE
Grand Jury Law May Release
Many Criminals.
IF IT IS RETROACTIVE
Motion That "Would Free Those In
dicted by District Attorney De
nied in Chinese Case, but
Will Be Carried Vp.
Behind a motion for the discharge of
Lem Woon, the Chinese highbinder,
which Judge Bronaugh denied, in the
Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon, lies
an Important issue. It Is the question
of whether or not all the prisoners In
dicted by District Attorney Manning
when he was in office, and who have
not received their sentence, shall ob
tain their liberty. After denying the
motion to free the slayer of Lee Dai
Hoy, the Oriental merchant who was
shot one night as he was entering his
dwelling, Judge Bronaugh stated that
Lem will be sentenced to the gallows
at 2 P. M. next Monday.
Is the grand Jury law passed by the
electors last June, retroactive? Does
It require that all persons against
whom the District Attorney filed In
formations, and whose cases were pend
ing in the court when the Governor
Issued his proclamation June S3, mak
ing the constitutional amendment ac
tive, shall be taken before the Grand
Jury, and the machinery of the law
started all over again in each case?
These were the questions that were
put to Judge Bronaugh yesterday af
ternoon. He established a precedent
by deciding; that it was not the purpose
of the amendment to require Grand
Jury investigation of the cases in
hand. It is probable that the defend
ants will appeal from his decision to
the Supreme Court
It was the contention of Judge
McGinn and Ralph R. Moody, his asso
ciate, that the repeal of the Information
law took away from the courts of Ore
gon the power to try cases on informa
tions. He said pending cases should
have been laid before the Grand Jury
at once, ae there was no clause in the
law exempting any cases, new or old.
Attorney Dan J. Malarkey argued that
it was not the Intent of the votters of
the state'in passing the law to liber
ate criminals, but rather to promote
fairness to all who might be under
suspicion. He argued that if the new
law Is faulty In this particular, it Is
well for the people of the state to know
It ae soon as possible, and for the case
to be carried to the higher court.
The amendment to- section 18 of the Ore
gon Constitution, passed by the electors of
the state last June, follows:
The Legislative Assembly shall so provide
that the most competent of the permanent
citizens of the county shall be chosen for
Jurors; and out of the whole number In
attendance at the court, seven shall be
chosen by lot as grand Jurors, nve of whom
must concur to find an Indictment. No per
son shall be charged In any Circuit Court
with the commission of any crime or mis
demeanor defined or made punishable by
any of the laws of this state, except upon
port a Union -Printers' Home in Colo
rado; it has also spent over a million
dollars in defending criminal members
brought before the courts, and it has
at times tied up industries and squeezed
extra money out of the public, but it
can never permanently raise wages
beyond what the industry can stand.
in tact, the highest scale of wages Is
paid in factories independent of the
Labor Trust. It is universally admitted
that the individual quality of the work
ing members of the unions has declined
and it persistently endeavors to keep
our youth from learning trades except
in the restricted number set by the
trust and entirely under its control.
Its warfare and criminal record is
something fearful to contemplate.
The home. of workmen burned or
blown up and other property destroyed
has run Into millions of dollars, while
the citizens who have been beaten,
maimed or murdered aggregate In the
past ten years several hundred thous
ands.
There were over 6000 men assaulted
or murdered in one strike (the team
sters) in Chicago a few years'ago. All
of this violence has been done to es
tablish the fact that if the common
man asserts his right to freedom and
declines to bow down to the orders
of the Labor Trust, he must be pun
lshed and forced into submission.
It has cost the common citizens mil
lions of doliars to support police and
soldiers to preserve property and pro
tect themselves from the attacks of
this trust, x
Next Move. -
Discovering that the people object
to being attacked and having their
property destroyed, the Labor Trust
members conciudo their next step
should be to elect members of the Leg
islatures and Congress who will change
old laws and make new ones, so that
the Labor Trust may safely carry on
the work and not be punished. Hence
the demand that they be exempt from
the trust laws and that the hands of
our courts be tied so no injunction
can be issued to prevent them from
picketing. boycotting, slugging or
blowing up property.
We were treated to a good Illus
tration of how trusts work together
when some chiefs of the Steel Trust
Joined the chief of the Labor Trusts
at the Republican Convention in Chi
cago and agreed among themselves that
the Steel Trust would work for
the anti-injunction-tle-the-hands-of-tht-courts
platform demanded by the
Labor Trust, if In turn the Labor mem
bers would work for a repeal of the
Sherman anti-trust law demanded by
the Steel Trust. Both working to be
free of laws which were obstacles to
their further control of the people and
what would be the condition of the
common man If the National Citizens
Industrial Association and its allies,
with their lawyers, headed by James
A. Emery, had not fought them to a
finish, and insisted that these trust
planks should not be Included in tbe
Republican platform?
We have an Association now made
up of citizens through which the rights
of the common man can be asserted
and defended to an extent, at least.
Thus by organization the trust or
ganizations can be met and checked.
The common citizens who read ths
papers, vote and attend to the affairs
of life are far and away in the ma
jority over the members of any trust,
labor or capital, and when they under
stand the hidden attacks made on their
liberties they act and wit.
Who Shall Rule?
Now the Labor Trust openly asserts
that its members are in politics to de- :
t
Indictment found by a grand Jury. Provided,
however, that any District Attorney may
file an amended Indictment whenever an
Indictment baa, by a ruling of the court,
been held to be defective In form. -
Before the passage of the amendment
to the Oregon Constitution criminals could
be Indicted either by grand Jury or the
District Attorney. The statutory provis
ions for this were as follows:
Section 1232. Crimea how prosecuted. No
person can be tried for the commission of
a crime but upon the indictment of a grand
Jury, unless expressly provided by law.
bectlon 1238. District Attorneys Required
to rroseeute All Crimes by Information.
Hereafter It shall be lawful for the District
Attorney of any Judicial district of this
state, and it Is hereby made bis duty, to
file. In the proper Circuit Court, an Informa
tion charging any person or persons with
ths commission of any crime denned and
made punishable by any of tha laws of this

decision of the lower court It will mean
that not only Lem Woon and Tee Gueng,
his alleged associate in crime, will ob
tain their liberty, at least temporarily, but
also Edward Martin, Jack La Rose and
many others. The statute provides that a

Trust
feat public men who have been brave
enough to stand fearlessly for the
rights of the great masses of workers
and doers who are not trust members.
Just so sure as tools of the Labor
Trust (cr any other trust) are elected,
to public office, Just so sure the com
mon man will suffer. That applies even
down to petty offices. If an ordinary
policeman secures his position from
the Labor Trust, he is Blow to protect
the citizens in time of trouble. Matfy
such an officer has been blind to the
slugging of Innocent citizens and only
too willing to allow violence It done
by a labor union slugger.
Probably no more glaring falsehood
and Impudent appeal for sympathy was
ever sent broadcast than the late, as
sertion by tho leader of the Labor
Trust when he announced that the
American Federation of Labor was one'
of the strongest elements known for '
the preservation of peace.
Their violent methods are so well
known and established that whenever
tho trust orders a strike the public
authorities immediately set about to
provide some sort of projection for ths
citizens and their property. A single
clipping from a late paper illustrates
tlie feeling:
"The Corn Products Company has
announced that its new J4.U0O.O0O
plant, a few miles south of Chicago,
wiil be under 'ocen shop' rule, and
that union men. If they want work
there, wiil have to leave their union
affiliations outside the protected land.
"A stockade eight feet high and bul
let proof has been built around the
site."
Citizens Protection.
Citizens have been careless In con
sidering the insidious moves made by
the Labor Trust seeking control over
affairs. It is time that each free man
questioned carefully into the intent and
purpose of each candidate for publlo
office, without regard to his politics.
It's a question of protection against
trust growth now. If a candidate open
ly or hiddenly stands for Labor Union
domination, hoping thereDy 40 be elect
ed by the Labor Trust members, to
gether with the votes of the citizens
who don't realize the danger, vote for
him If you think best to put your af
fairs and liberty in the hands of the
leaders of this great trust. But it will
be a black day for Americans when
any trust gains power enough to en
act their own laws and to dictate when
a freeman shall work, when quit and
how much he shall pay to support the
managers. Also what articles shall be
bought. What cars used. What stoves,
hats, shoes, clothing and even the
hearse used to bury the dead.
The foundation of our free Republic
is based on the principle that "every
man must be equal berore the law and
every man protected under the law."
The Labor Trust openly asserts it
must have special Immunity from the
law and special new laws to give its
members advantage and control over
the common people.
With a knowledge of the facts, citi
zens can vote as their Ideas of patriot
ism and individual safety direct.
"There s a Reason.
C. W. POST, Battle Creek, Mich.
N. B. Let the reader remember that
I am in favor of Trade unions and
these plain statements are printed with
the hope that the Impudent, lawless
men of violent tendencies will be
replaced by careful. - honest, law-re
specting managers, who will rescue the
sacred name of Labor from the odium
the present managers have too often
put upon it. Until that time citizens
must be alert to protect themselves and
their affairs.
