The Company's Motive and Lack of
Justification In Posting Warning
Notices Are Explained by Presi

Washington, April 29. Referring
to tho posted notice In tho Santa Fe
company's shops warning tho men
against unlawful acts, O'Connell says
tho company jumps ai conclusions
Ho says:
"Tho officials know wo aro oppos
od to violonco. Whllo tho handbill
deserves no attontlon, it is only right
to say It is an attempt at intimida
tlon. In threatening thus tho com
pany stoops to frighton men who own
homes ln tho neighborhood of shops.
Tho warnlnc Is a big bluff. The ma

foro with malls or commerce."

A suit was filed this afternoon by
Hallcy & Lowell, in which Mnrgarot
Busch, of this city, brings action for
$2,000 damages, with costs and dls
bursements added, against John F.
Robinson, the proprietor of the Do.
mcstlc laundry.
The plaintiff alleges that on May
1, 1902, the defendant was operating
a mangle In defendant's laundry
without the proper guard and guard
rollers, and that tlie platform on
which the operators had to stand had
been broken and was unsafe. Whllo
tho plaintiff was at work on this
platform, engaged in feeding the
mangle, she stepped Into the hole in
the platform and was thrown ngalnst
the mangle. In trying to save her
self she stuck her hand between the
rollers and her hand was badly man'
gled, burned and crushed.
The plaintiff further alleges that
she Is Incapacitated from ever being
able to do anything requiring the use
of her right hand; that she will be
compelled to have expensive and
painful operations performed to par
tially remedy the injury, and that
she has suffered great bodily pain
and mental anguish as a result of
the accident, which was due entirely
to the carelessness of the manage
ment of tho laundry.
The defense denies that the accl
dent was due to the carelessness of
the proprietor. It will be stated that
though the platform was broken, it
had been repaired at tho time of tho
nccldent, and that there are guards
on tho machine, It is further claim
ed that the cirl was talking to an
other operator at the time; In fact,
was having some argument with her,
and that ln making a gesture sho
stuck her hand into the mangle.
Tho plaintiff is a very attractive
young lady who has been working at
tho laundry for several years. Sue
wns kept upon full pay by Mr. Rob
inson during nil of tho tlmo sho was
laid up as a result of tho accident,
and her doctor hill nnd expenses
wero also paid by him. When she
wns able to return to work she was
given her old position, and received
the same pay thai she bad formerly
received. Some time ago some diti
erenco arose betwecu her and tho
proprietor, and she quit her position
and has now brought tho suit.
Mr. Robinson has retained Ballnray
& McCourt and Carter & Ualey.
