C. Barber, state fire marshal, in a letter today which was received by Mayor C. E. Gates, as sorts that Medford is Inadequately equipped for fire protection. The letter In part, says: "F'he fact Is that the fire losses In Medford- have been so heavy during the last five years tliut it Is attract ing state wide attention and already inquiries are being bade as to why this condition exists and wo must all Join In prompt action to eliminate this wasto. , . . - "The cause may be bad house keplng In some cases, but Is due In part we think to an Inadequate equip ment for fire protection. We must join in an effort to secure an im provement in ' both and the deputies representing this department will confer with you as. to how best to secure this result. "We have recently secured addi tional equipment and benefitted con ditions in Salem and other towns of the state through cooperation with the c-fflcials In arousing the interest of the public in the matter and we hope to do the same thing In your city." DEFENSE HAS ALIBI (Continued from Page One) killing. They will tell you that not a a single one of these defendants was in the march." Wealth Behind State The prosecuting authorities of Illi nois, he asserted, were being influ enced by a private organization com posed of men or great wealth, "the Illinois chamber of commerce." Mr. Kerr described operations at the Lester strip mine, owned by the South FIRE EQUIPMENT ( i; v " f MEDFORD. OKFl.Qy, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER ern Illinois coiil company and stated that the union had agreed to permit the company to strip coal but not to mine it. ' He declared the company broke the agreement and imported guards armed with machine guns, with high powered rifles, with automatic police pistols, with all the most destructive firearms known to modern.- science. -Hired Gunmen Used He then gave an outline of 23 labor disputes In which he declared "hired gunmen were used," beginning with the Homestead strike in 18D2, and con tinuing through Cripple Creek, Colo., Ludlow, Mingo, the Michigan copper strikes and up totlie present. He de clared more than 300 .workers had been killed In these disputes "by gunmen who wont unpunished for their acts." "The killing of Howard Hoffman was homicide and not murder," he con tinued, "some day and in some court room a Jury will Bay that the time litis come to stop the importation into peaceful communities of this type of men. I believe that day will come in this trial, I believe that It Is this Jury that will Immortalize Itself by freeing all communities for all time of the sinister Influence ot the American gunmen." ' Tracing the history of the miners' union In Williamson county, Mr. Kerr declared the men sought to organize "to better the condition of their babies, but were met at every step by tho forces of organized capital." "The miners lost, again and again: but they persisted," he continued. "They won their liberty. "And now in this ease they are as sailed for wanting to protect and con serve this organization. They wanted to save this' organization which has meant so much not only to the miner himself and to his wife and his chil dren, but to the great state itself."
