A. M. WILLIAMS Sl GO A M. WILLIAMS & CO REAT LABOR LEADER Eugene V. Debs is Now in Portland. IS ACCOMPANIED BY GOODWIN i He Talks of the Conspiracy and Con tempt Charges Against the Leaders ' - of the A. R. U. Portland, March 21. Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Bail way "Union, accompanied by Roy M. Goodwin, a director of the union; arrived in Portland last night, and will lecture this evening. His tour is taken for the purpose of raising funds for the defense of the American Railway Union leaders. Regarding the conspiracy trial, Mr. Debs said : VThe tual opened , January 24 and closed February 8. One of the jurors was token sick, and the jury was dis charged without a conclusion of the case. The trial could have been legally continued by consent of counsel, upon impaneling another juror, or with 11 jurors, but the prosecution would not agree to it. The case was put over for a econd trial until the first Monday in May, butjt is the opinion of my lawyers that the case will never be' tried. When the trial closed the prosecution had offered all of its testimony j and we had begun with our witnesses. The prose cution had not one ecrapof real testi mony. I am very anxious to have the "case tried, and, if I am guilty, to be punished, and if not, to be vindicated. An acquittal by a jury, would be in the nature of a vindication. "The contempt proceedings, he said "were brought tor violation for injunc tions issued by Judge Woods, United States circuit judge, on July 2, 1894, res training the American-Railway Union from directing the strike, and myself and colleagues as officers of the union. There were two of these cases. One was by the United .States government and one by the Santa Fe Railroad Company. The Santa Fe Company was in the hands of a receiver, in Judge Wood's court, and therefore, was directly in the custody of the court. These cases were tried , be fore Judge Wood, without a jury, and I was sentenced to six months in the county jail, in each' case, and my eight official colleagues to three months in each case . These sentences .are con current, and, therefore, amount to six months in my case, and three months to each of the others. In these cases the interests involved are of the fundamental principles and rights of labors to organ ize for its protection ; to act in concert, or for a body of men to quit work sim ultaneously. So we concluded to appeal the case to- the United States supreme court. There never has been a decision on this subject by the United States supreme court, and we believe it will be well to have it. The ground of appeal is on the validity of the injunction of Judge Wood. ' ."The Santa Fe case is not subject to appeal, as that company is in the hands of a receiver in Judge Wood's court, and is consequently in the hands of the court, and there can be no question of the jurisdiction of that court, and its right to control property in its posses sion, bo we moved a suspension of sen tence in the santa , Fe . cases, until we served the government sentence, and pending the supreme court decision, the government .sentence is held , in abey ance. If the supreme court decides ad versely, these two sentences will now be come cumulative, and-1 : will have to serve one year and my colleagues six months. The hearing is to be had be fore the full supreme bench, March 25, and a decision is expected during the early part of May. Thjre will be ex haustive arguments upon the law.. The decision is of as much importance to the industrial interests ' as "was the Dred Scott decision to slavery, aiid it is being anxiously awaited throughout the entire country. If adverse, it will be a death blow to labor."; . ., MR, DEBS' LECTURE. Concerning Debs' lecture on "Who 4 hVWC.i it L Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest S. Gov't-Report I 1 i I 1" A -1 are the conspirators?" at Seattle the Post Intelligencer says : It was splend idly delivered, and elicited frequent and repeated applause. ' He' proved himself a polished speaker, and for 2 hours the interest never flagged. In his argument he was plain, conclusive and convincing ; his earnestness' was profound," and his rhetoric, metaphor and figures of speech poetical, pathetic and enthusiastic. He demonstrated that he has been a student of human nature-of well as of good books, the classics', Shakespeare,' Rnskin, Car lisle, McCauley and Burns seeming to be his favorite authors. Those who ex pected that he wonld pose as a martyr, j as a result of the six months' imprison ment in the county jail at Ceicago for the part he played as leader of the strike, were disappointed.' He only referred to the incident of bis imprisonment two or three times, and then in a dry, humorou way that provoked continued laughter instead of indignation. . In : describing the incidents leading up to his residence in the jail, he said : When I was served with the injunc tion from Judge Jenkins' coart restrain ing me from holding high communion with myself, from writing letters or tele grams, and from talking with my fellow men, I went to two of the best lawyers in .Chicago, and asked them what I should do, and they told me I ' had vio- latek no law and could continue as I bad been doing." " ' ' ' Hera Mr. Debs stopped for a moment, and there was profound silence. Then he added, in a dry, matter-of fret-way : I took their advice and got six months!" For a period of five minutes pandemo nium reigned, there being alternate ap plause and laughter. 'As the speaker stood before the audience, his black eyes sparkling and the corners of his mouth drawn up with a suspicion of a smile which he endeavored to suppress, he looked very much like Bill Nye, in one of the latter's lucid moments. Alto gether the resemblance-between Bill Nye and Mr. Dehe is at times striking, especially when the 'latter ' becomes humorous, as he does frequently. : Mr. Debs declared the newspapers had given but one side of the Btoryof the re cent unpleasantness, and said that the members of the Railway Managers' As sociaiion in Chicago were really the con epirators, and not . the employes, or the officials of the American Railway Union - A BAD PICTUEE OF PULLMAN.- He pathetically described the misery and poverty of the little town of Pull man, and told of the greed of the Pull man Company, and said that at a time Continued on Fourth Page.
