Following negotiations between
organized labor and proprietors of
the Argo and Home restaurants
for several weeks,; In which It is
declared Ian understanding was
impossible, the Salem Trades and
Labor council yesterday announced
that the; two places had been
placed on the unfair list.
John Loper, owner of the Argo
restaurant, declares that his wait

O'lary,! owner of the Home res
tanrant. is out of town and cannot
be reached. It Is said he pays
the girls at his' place $11 a week.
All honorable means bare been
exhausted to get the proprietors
to pay the wage scale of the Cul
inary Alliance, and the action of
the Hotel and Restaurant Employ
ees' International alliance in plac
ing them, on the unfair list has
, received i the endorsement , of the
. Salem .Trades and Labor council,
according to S. B. Davidson, busi

"The waitresses In the Argo res

into the turnkey's office. The
turnkey ran out at this time, hold
ing his jaw. I grabbed a heavy
spitoon and crashed the lock on
the guncase. handed a 30-30 rifle
fully loaded to Jones. Jones was
excited and begun emptying the
gun at tower No. 1 through the
window.
...
"When he emptied the first
gun he picked up another one and
did the same thing, but did ; not
register a hit. Jones was running
wild. He expected to be killed,
and was ' apparently making' his
last stand. He was shooting wild.
"Nobody, was hurt up to ' this
time, Jones and tower 1 were the
only ones that fired, except one
shot I fired at tower 1, but I saw
no one to shoot at, just fired at
random. I took two six-shooters,
a 38-special Colts and a 32-20
Smith & Wesson, Jones took his
shotgun, loaded With
sawedoff-
uucKsnoi, ana ran DacK out on
the lawn. When we got out on
the lawn elley and Willos 'were
standing with their hands in the
air under the cover of five guards
armed with guns, just outside the
iron fence, and also covered by the
guard in the bullpen, tower No. 7.
No shots were, fired from tower
No. 7.
"The only thing which kept the
guards from shooting them was
that guard Pete White was stand
ing between Willos and Kelley.
His being there was the only thing
wnicn kept Willos .and Kellev
from being shot' down fn nu
blood, as a deputy warden told
White to get away from them and
also told the euard tn
them." '(
Newman interrupted to ask wnv
was Pete White between them and
tower No 1,
".'No. 1 tower was not shooting,
and I got behind an oak tree, and
I told him to come out and throw
his gun down or we would smoke
him out of there. Instead of do
ing so he kept himself covered as
well as he could behind the walls
of his tower and tried to get a
shot at us with his rifle. Asit
was his life or ours, I shot him in
the head with the .32-20. He fell
dead and I made a run for the
steps leading up to the toweri
Willos was right behind ine.
Neither Willos nor , Kelley hid
fired a shot up to this time. Just
as I went up the first two steps of
the tower stairs Guard Holman,
who was concealed behind the iron
fence, shot me through the left
arm. Just as he shot me Willos
shot him. with a pistol. (Story
pros interrupted here while there
was an argument as to who killed
him.) '
l "Kelley didn't have any gun un
til we got inside of tower No. 1.
We had to go through tower No.
1 and drop from the way to gain
our liberty. By the time we went
through this tower the bullets
were coming fast from the out-
Side of the iron fence and In the
garage, five or six shooting at us
on the way through. , I picked un
Guard Sweeney's (of tower No. 1)
rifle. We all dronnprf tn ts
ground outside. Jones, Willos
and I were on the ground, and I
called to Lute savage, who was
standing in the garage, to come
over to where we were, as we
wanted him for protection, from
the bullets from the ether guards.
He wouldn't come, so I took one
shot at him with.my pistol. Wheth
er I hit him or not I don't know
About this time Jones was shot
In the side somewhere. (There
was a little argument about where
i . . .
ne was snou) About that tjme
wiiios and I started for No.
tower, along the side wall, as this
was the best route for our get
away, jeiiey stopped to shake
hands with Jones. Jones said
it?u me ooys to play careful and
not. make It more than one.
Jones then took the gun and fired
a load of buckshot through Hoi
mans neaa, who was sitting up
against the wall. Made him un
conscious of what was eoine on
around him.- (Murray interrnnt.
ed here to tell Newman that they
were leuing nim the God's truth. l
Murray said: "I want my mother
io reaa it."
"Kelley then .picked un th
shotgun, which wa3 emntv. and
followed Willos and I past No. 2
tower toward the insane asylum.
(Newman asked him what No!
2 tower had been doing all this
time.) !
"No. 2 tower was deserted, and
someone wearing a dark suit was
running toward the insane asylum
ahead of ns. We thought itwas
the guard from No. 2 post, al
though we would not swear to it,
as we were not sure. :We never
did notice any shot coming from
No. 2 tower, and he could have
shot at us when I shot at T.i.
Savage. We rushed toward the
insane asylum, commandeered an
automobile and from then on the

want, them to know. We haven't

no one as long as they don't stand

Newman asked them if they
could make any individual state
ment and Murray said: "No, this
goes for all of us. . We all vouch
for it." Newman asked Murray:
"What do you think of Dalrymple
as a warden?"
"He's as good a man as could
be in the position. -He's had a
hard time during his administra
tion, and he has made the best of
a bad job." j
Willos was asked: VWhat do

-According from what I, have
learned from other prisoners who
have asked for a change to make

Willos said: "Yes, sir. absolute
