MEMBERSHIP CHARGED
County Attorney Says in Xo In
stance Was Advocacy ot Crime
Shown at Trials.
The opinion that men -who hold
membership In the I. W. W. society
may be found not guilty of advocating
violence and crime according to the
tenets of the society is expressed in
a letter to Governor Ben W. Olcott
from T. H. Goyne, district attorney
of Tillamook county. The district
attorney's letter was in answer to a
request from the governor of a state
ment relating to the sentences im
posed upon I. "W". W. in the Tillamook
county court recently.
On December 8 six I. W. W. pleaded
guilty to violation of the criminal
syndicalism act before Judge Bagley
at Tillamook. Three were sentenced
to serve ten years In the penitentiary,
but were paroled after two had paid
' fines of $100 each and the third a
fine of $150. Two others were re
leased after paying $100 apiece, and
the sixth, fined $100, was paroled
after promising to pay $250 at the
rate of $25 a month and agreeing not
to leave the county until the money
is paid.
The Tillamook court's disposition of
the cases teemkngly failed to meet
with approval, and a prominent fig
ure in the American Legion called the
attention of the matter to the gov
ernor. The governor's request brought
forth a statement from District Attor
ney Goyne.
Men Held Minlrd.
"It was the universal opinion,"
stated District Attorney Goyne, "of
all who had anything to do with
those cases, after a careful investi
gation, that the persons charged with
a violation of the syndicalism and sa
botage laws of Oregon, were, in near
ly every Instance, Induced to Join
this society without realizing that
such society taught or advocated
syndicalism or sabotage. They were
a bunch of men who appeared to be
no worse than the average man, and
were merely joining the society be
cause they were led to believe that
It was going to be the means of bet
tering their conditions, both as to
wages and as to the surrounding
circumstances; and, in no instance,
so far as we were able to determine,
unless it might be one or two ex
ceptions, did the parties agree with
any doctrines advocating violence,
crime or destruction of property. The
officers, including myself, of course,
took careful means to Inquire dili
gently into the character and beliefs
of these men, and to find out how
they came to join the society, and
after a great deal of cross-examina
tion, we concluded as above stated.
A'iolence A'ot Advocated.
"Tn all of the cases, we failed to
find a single instance of where 'any
of them in any wise advocated vio
lence or crime, or the destruction of
property for the purpose of accom
plishing their political ends, or for
profit, and. after much examination
it was agreed by the officers and
others, who were Instrumental in the
prosecution, that, while these men be
longed to a society which we all
know as a matter of fact teaches and
advocates criminal syndicalism and
sabotage, it would have been a diffi
cult matter to prove even that the
society taught such things under the
technical rule of the introduction of
evidence, and as to the individuals
themselves, tt would have been im
possible to convict them of such ac
tions and the only thing we could
convict them of, if at all, was of be
ing members of a society which
taught and advocated such acts.
"Yet. we all felt that as an ex
ample they should receive some pun
ishment, and they have all promised
to renounce I. W. W.lsm, and have
received the sentences' and been pa
roled as set forth in the item. We
all feel that more has been accom
plished than if these men had been
sent to the penitentiary, when, so far
as we could discover, they were in
duced to join this cociety without
realizing the menace which it meant
to our country, and without Intending
In anywise to advocate what in the
indictments we set out that the so
ciety was guilty of teaching."

STORIA SAYS BRITISH SOAP
KIXG SOT INTERESTED.
lord Lcvenhnlme Makes Trip of
Inspection; California Plants
to Be Visited.
ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 25. (Special.)
B. F. Stone returned last night
from Portland, where he went to
meet Lord Lcvenhulme, the British
'"soap king" and party.
Asked about the conference today.
Mr. Stone said: "I met the party
by appointment as the men had let
ters of introduction to me from our
salmon agents in London. The re
port that the conference was rela
tive to the purchase of canneries by
Lord Levenhulmo is erroneous, as not
one word was said concerning such
a matter.
'Lord Levenhulme was in the fish
business at one time, but Is not in
terested in it now, devoting all his
energies to the management of his
soap factories. So far as I know,
his present visit to America is not
one of any special business import.
Angus Watson, one member of the
party, is a merchant at New Castle
and is a heavy dealer in fish. Re
is visiting the coast to make a thor
ough investigation of the canned
salmon situation, as well as the con
ditions in connection with the mar
keting of California fruits.
"Another member of the party was
Mr. Creighton of the royal navy. He
is one of the British fish commis
sioners and is inquiring into the
methods of fish culture in this coun
try. The party will go to California
to look into the sardine and fruit
canning industries before returning
to England."

ROAD JOB MAY BE SUBLET
Good Progress Made on Walker
Cottage Grove Stretch..
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 24. (Special.)
The western Construction company,
which has the contract to build the
section of the Pacific highway be
tween Walker and Cottage Grove, has
made application to the Lane county
court to sublet the job to Contractor
Corson, who is surfacing the highway
in that locality. Members of the
county court drove to the roadway
yesterday to inspect the work done
before agreeing to the proposition.
They found that three short stretches
of the new highway are yet Incom
plete and that Contractor Corson Is
making satisfactory headway with the
surfacing work.
This has been one of the most dif
ficult pieces of construction on the
entire highway this year, and the
contractors have made slow progress.
It was around this section of the. road
that a bad detour, which motorists
declared to be the worst In the state
this fall, was necessary. By taking
stretches of the old highway cars are
now able to make the trip between
Walker and Cottage Grove with ease.
