COMING SUNDAY "HOOT" GIBSON IN "THE LOADED DOOR"
MEDFOPcD MATO TRIBUNE,
TO BETTER ITS
'Calling attention to tho fact that
Inspectors Sykes and Gleason were
here to make the annual fire survey
of the city, A. 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."

killing. They will tell you that not a

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."
