been and Is shameless profiteering: in
that industry.
The market nrlre nf the farmers
liVestock has declined nearly 60 per
ent, bringing many farmers to the
verge of bankruptcy, but the high
prices the consumer pays for meat are
virtually unchanged.
The Income tax receipts prove the
mine operators get excessive profits.
All the quotations I have referred
to conspire to prove that it Is profit
eering in the great industrial corpor-
tions that has sandbagged the pub
lic, rather than by merchants who
deal directly with the consumer. No
doubt there is price gouging by some
of the retailers, but It is the price of
goods when they leave the factory to
which the administration's best at
tention should be first directed."

TACOMA, "Wash., Jan. 24. Engag
ing in clashes of wit and repartee
with the freedom of enemies of many
a courtroom battle, the defense in the
trial of the 39 alleged I. W. W. for
criminal syndicalism and police offi
cers from Spokane, called to the stand
by the state today, enlivened specta
tors with renewal of hostilities car
ried over from similar trials in other
part3 of the state.
Alexander McDonald. 32 years a po
lice officer in Spokane, now sergeant
of police, and T. F. Mitchell, Spokane
Vol ice officer, were called by Prose
cuting Attorney William D. Askern to
testify concerning statements and lit
erature of the Industrial Workers of
the World from their knowledge of it
as officers in Spokane.
They followed William Josh, former
organizer of the I. W. W., whose ex
amination concerning the literature
that he identified and that was admit
ted as exhibits over the protest of At
torney Ralph Pierce for the defense,
was left unfinished until Monday that
the out-of-town men might be heard
and allowed to go. McDonald iden
tified a dozen or more of the 19 exhi
bits of I. W. W. bulletins, songbooks,
pamphlets and stickers.
Some of these stickers have been
pasted on the city hall in Spokane,"
he said. "1 have one in my pocket
that 1 took from there not more than
three weeks ago."
McDonald told the court that he
had heard Richard Brazier, author of
one of the songs in the I. W. W. song-
book, call the stars and stripes
dirty rag and say "to hell with the
flag" at street meetings in Spokane in
the course of two years that Brazier
made Spokane his headquarters.
"He. said concerning the business
blocks around there when he was
speaking that when the workers had
taken everything over they might
give the present owners jobs as jani
tors, and that instead of working for
the farmers, the farmers would be
working for them," said McDonald.
Witnean Ht on Oaten.
At the beginning of his cross-ex
amination Attorney Pierce asked Me
Donald a dozen times to name a spe
cific date when Brazier called the
stars and stripes a dirty rag.
Judge Fletcher finally told him tha
he thought he had asked enough, the
witness having replied that he did
not remember the exact date, bu
could never forget the incident.
"I was just trying to find out how
a man could say things like that and
Btay out of jail in Spokane," said
Pierce.
"I think he's in jail now, sent from
Chicago." said Askren.
"You've never found us defending
man that calls the flag a dirty old
rag." rejoined Pierce heatedly.
"You'll be there all right, reiter
ated Askren.
"We will not."
"Don't argue, gentlemen," inter'
posed Judge Fletcher.
Abuse of Flag Related.
McDonald testified that a man
named Sheedy tore the flag up and
trampled it.
"He got five weeks, but not enough
said the officer.
"I agree with you it wasn't." said
Tierce.
McDonald said Brazier was makin
speeches in Spokane off and on fo
two years. He would be in jail an
out of jail, he aid.
Pierce declared that he did not se
how they let him speak at all.
"Well, we did the best we could.
We had 1400. in jail at once," said Mc
Jjona Id.
Vincent L. Maroney again protested
against his inclusion in the trial of
the defendants, and just as vigorous
a request for a severance of his trial
from that of the other 38 was made
by Mr. Pierce. Maroney says he is
not an T. W. W. and so do the rest of
the defendants in very vigorous lan
guage. Josh will be recalled to the stand
Monday, when court reconvenes at
10:30.

Requires Slow Convalescence.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington Jan. 24 Public interest
in the condition of President Wilson's
health has been reawakened by fail
ure of his physicians to give out any
statements .recently.
It may be said that the president is
recovering, but that his recovery is
slow.
A recent statement by Mrs. George
Bass of the democratic national com
mittee that T-r. Wilson would be back
at his desk in a week, was far too op
timistic. Almost , two weeks have
passed since the time she made that
announcement.
It is understood that it will be
months before he will be able to re
sume his executive duties. 'and that
he will be taken away for a long rest
just as soon as he is in condition to
travel that may be a month.
Why doesn't he get well? is the
question which comes to Washington.
There is evidently a failure to grasp
the seriousness of a cdmplete nervous
a lid physical breakdown. It is so
common to say that someone who is
suffering from temporary exhaustion
has had a nervous breakdown th
the public does not see anything so
serious in the diagnosis of Mr. Wil
son's condition as to warrant his long
illness.
Physicians point out that for
tfian of 63 years a complete nervous
breakdown in itself is sufficiently
menacing, without any of the rumored
complications which have caused such
grave apprehensions.

for profiteers was urged by Senator
Capper, republican, Kansas, in an ad
dress today in the senate. Profiteers,
he said, are more dangerous than
"reds."
Advocating legislation by congress
to curb profiteering. Senator Capper
said the people could help themselves
too. if they would organize to "boy
cott the profit hogs by refusing to
buy goods offered at extortionate
prices."
The Kansas senator declared there
could be no doubt that the general
public is being sandbagged in view
of profits reported by large manufac
turing corporations and the rise in
the value of their securities. He cited
figures regarding the American
Woolen Company, the Central Leather
Company, the Crucible Steel Company.
the United States Steel Corporation
and others.
Referring to increased prices of
clothing. Senator Capper read a tele
gram from the National Woolgrow
ers' association, stating that the wool

. "A 50 per cent increase in the price
of shoes by next summer is predicted
by the president of the National Shoe

Capper. "The day this prediction ap
peared, another extra dividend was

LAW TEST CASE NEAR
State Liquor Prosecution Held Su
perseded by Federal Act.
Possible conflicting jurisdiction of
state and federal authorities in the
enforcement of prohibition laws as
the result of national aridity will be
brought to an issue in a test case
before District Judge Martin Hawk
ins tomorrow, in which Attorney Paul
Long will demur to the prosecution
of H. C. Jenkins and Ed Tracey, ar
rested for bootlegging on January 17,
under the state law, holding that it is
superseded by the national dry law.
Deputy District Attorney Bernard
is prepared to argue that the state
dry law is one of concurrent juris
diction and permitted by the national
amendment, while Attorney Long will
insist that it is not concurrent inas
much as it was in operation before
national prohibition. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court for
final decision.
NATIONS DRAW TOGETHER
Good Results Predicted of Pan-
American Congress.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. The good
that will flow from the gathering
here of the second Pan-American
financial congress, just concluded,
will not be measured alone in the
treaties and agreements that may
arise from the recommendations made
but also in the solid international
friendships established. Dr. Domingo
E. Salabiery, Argentine minister of
finance, said tonight, speaking at
banquet to the delegates given by
Secretary Glass.
He spoke for his fellow delegates
from Latin America and in response
to an address by Vice-President Marshall.
This great saving- in up
stairs rent annually is only
one reason why we are
able to save you money.
Cash selling, large
buying power, and
low margin of
profit will save you
still more on every suit or
overcoat. Is it any won

abled to save you $10.00?

It begins not only with saving money but
in consistent, careful buying.
When you buy a suit in our big upstairs store
you save $10.00. The long wear and quality
in a Fahey-Brockman suit is a further sav
ing because it will out-value any suit at any
where near the price.
For definite illustration, we have several
hundred suits at v $30 each, that cannot be
bought this spring for anywhere near the
price. Splendid garments in all sizes and
styles, not specially priced, but typical of
our entire stock. $30 spent in one of these
nifty suits is money saved.
