Oivio Federation to Discuss Questions Affeot

VALUE OF TRADE ORGANIZATIONS
Of Great Beneflt to Those Inter
rated, bat the Pnhlle Alio Has
Rthta that Mnst Be
Respected.
CHICAGO, Oct 16. Employers and labor
representatives of national reputation were
In attendance today, In Stelnway hall, at
the opening session of the National Civic
federation conference, which Is to discuss
and debate questlona affecting wage earner
and capitalist. In an effort to better rela
tions between them and to right Industrial
evils.
William D. Mahon, president of the
Amalgamated Association of Street Rail
way Employes; Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and S. S. McClure of New York
were among those present at the gather
ing, which waa called to order by Judge
A. N. Waterman, president of the Chicago
branch of the Clvlo federation.
Capital waa also represented, as was the
farmer, T. F. Woodlock, editor ot a New
York financial paper; Oscar 8. Strauss,
president of the New York Board of Trado
and Transportation, and John M. Stahl,
who will represent the agriculturalists, be
ing In attendance.
Mr. Strauss waa Introduced and presided
at today's session. He spoke on "How to
Establish Better Relations Between Em
ployer and Employes," advocating con
servatism in dealing with labor troubles.
Value of Trade lalona.
He said In part:
The value of trade unions in raising the
standard of living and In guarding the in
terests of labor. In Tegulating the hours
and conditions of work, are benefits which
organisation has unquestionably promoted.
The great hope of our Industrial future
is that the working classes, whose powers
for good and for evil have been so strength
ened by organisation, will be guided by en
lightened principles, and abstain from
seeking benefits In contravention of un
doubted economic experiences and at the
ooet of fundamental rights.
To the extent they mlsuoe their great
power, of arbitrarily curtailing the rlghta
or tneir reiiow laborers or their employers,
they array themselves agalnBt public sen
timent, and from that day their nower and
their usefulness will decline. VEven If labor
organisations comprised the entire number
of .wage workers In the country, this would
give them no right either to override the
personal liberty of thoie within or beyond
their ranks, or to Inxist upon special priv
ileges or immunities.
Mnst Rely Ipsa Jnatneaa.
They must rely upon the justness of
their cause and to the extent force is used,
the boycott or the bludgeon In compelling
others to unite with them, to that extent
they negative their own cinlm to being a
brotherhood organization, whose purpose
Is to elevate and benefit the wage earning
class. Hut, as a matter of fact, while labor
organization are very strong In some In
dustries, they Include only about 15 per
cent of the wage earners of the country,
and It must not be forgotten that organi
sation, however powerful, can give no
rights to curtail the personal liberty of
the remaining 85 per cent of the wage
earners of the country.
While the rreatlv Increased ors-nntxAtlon
of both laborers and employers Is ,x fact
wnicn must ie taKen into consideration In
discussing the Industrial future. It must not
be overlooked that, however powerful theaa
great Interests mav grow, thev ran onlv
embrace a fraction ot the people In any
country.
The general public Is greater and many
times more numerous than these two
powerful bodies combined, and upon it
mufct fall the heaviest losses that grow out
of Industrial war. The general public Is
patient, long suffering and enduring. Ita
only organization Is the general govern
ment, municipal, state and national, for the
-protection of the public welfare.
Demands of the Pkhlir.
'Public'' opinion 'demands that' the great
punuc service corporations not only shall
perform their functions, but also they ehall
not be obstructed in that performance, and
it also demands that the great avenues of
supply and distribution of the necessities
of life shall not be arbitrarily cut off In
order td test-the relative strength and en
during powers of the contending forces.
Organised labor and organised capital are
In a formative state. They are new to their
acquired power. With time and experience
a reaction in favor of conservatism will
make Itself felt, and In the meantime con
ciliation will help tather than hinder a
ttiore reliable and permanent remedy.
President Mitchell's Views.
President Mitchell, in opposing the open
hop, said:
By a refusal to work with nonunion men
labor organisations occasionally excite
acute Irritation among employers and In
vite grave criticism from press and public.
To refuse to work with nonunion men Is
to- no greater and to no less extent com
pulsion than for a life or fire Insurance
company to refuse certain classes of people
or for any association whatsoever to set
conditions under which It will have deal
ings with certain persons. The compulsion
exerted by unions, whether toward non
unionists or employers, must be judged
upon Its merits, and must- not be decried
merely because of Its compulsion.
The majority of nonunlonlats are not ma
licious, only at the worst stupid and apa
thetic However, there Is one group of
nonunlonJsta, the professional strike break
ers, but little removed from the criminal
classes. I do not mean to say that every
strike breaker Is a criminal. Some of theve
professional atrlke breakers are former
unionists, men who have been dishonorably
discharged from the union, cashiered for
conduct unbecoming a unionist. If not ao
tually indicted for defalcations or other
offenses &gaint tha law. Others have never
been In a union and have never been defiled
or contaminated by work.
With the progress of trades unions and
their growth In strength there will prob
ably be a lesenlng in the intensity of feel
ing sgilnst the nonunlonlst, but no lessen
ing In the pol'cy of exclu-lon
Tn conclua'on. I believe that trades Unions
have a perfect legal right and moral rlirht
to exclude nonunionlets, but that this right
shall be exercised with the utmost care and
only after persuasion.
Thomas Woodlock of New York spoke
upon the principle of the open shop. The
afternoon session of the conference closed
with an address by Edward A. Mnffltt of
New York on "The Open Versua the Closed
Shop."
Henry C. Hunter of New York, it waa
announced, would be among the speakers
on the open, ehop at tomorrow's session
at which Bamuel Gompers, president of
tho American Federation of Labor, la ex
pected to preside. Senator Hanna, It waa
stated, would be ln charge of Saturday's
meeting.

a dramatic scene ln Judge Clifford's court

also that of parricide.
"The murder, of my mother la not the

NEBRASKA MAN CALLED AS WITNESS
Former Asslstsmt Attorney Chris
tlaney Tells of Kvents Lending; t p
to Bxrlealon of Ryan's Busi
ness from the Malls,
CINCINNATI, Oct.- 15.-The court room
was crowded when the trial of Miller and
Johns, charged with conspiracy and brib
ery in the postal cases was resumed today.
The government continued Its evidence.
The emphatic rulings of Judge Thompson,
especially on cross-examinations, against
taking up time with incompetent testimony.
were repeated and at times counsel for
defense were rprlmanded.
C. A. . Chrlstlancy, who waa the first as
sistant attorney in the office ot assistant
attorney general for the . Postofflce de
partment when D. V- Miller was the sec
ond assistant attorney ln the same office,
testified to all the presentatlona and con
siderations of the case of John J. Ryan A
Co., the . turf commissioners, who had
been using the malls ln "bookmak
Ing.' He did not know of all the cor
respondence between Miller and Ryan or
the letter's attorneys. Miller did not show
him the reports of the Inspectors that rec
ommended that a fraud order should be ,
Issued against the use of the malls by
Ryan's concern.
On cross-examination by Rullson,' the
witness said Ryan's attorney . came with
the highest recommendations and Miller
and Francis C. Huebner, another clerk ln
the assistant attorney general's office, as
sisted him (Chrlstlancy) ln considering the
care ot Ryan & Co.
He did not know that Miller had ever
recommended a fraud order ln the Ryan
case.. After Ryan appeared with hie at
torneys, before the. witness there was no
agreement at. the time to . discuss the
question of dismissing the case and allow
Ryan Co. to continue their busi
ness. Christluncy's recommendation was
that the decision waa contingent upon a
subsequent report of the Inspectors. The
witness was shown the record book of his
office Indicating that the case had been dis
missed and could not tell, who made that
record. Miller's reports to him were In
accordance with those of the Inspectors.
Chrlstlancy next Identified a letter that
he wrote giving the stipulations under
which Ryan A Co. were allowed to con
tinue their business through th1 malls.
Government Offers' Lettera.'
The government then submitted letters
dated last February from Johnston' to
Ryan, at which time the latter was a
grand Jury witness and the former wanted
him to meet him half way. By these let
ters, the government wanted to prove after
the alleged conspiracy an effort to com
promise so aa to avoid prosecution.
William J. Vlckery of Evansvllle, lad.,
and Robert M. Foster, postofllce Inspectors,
testified as to their work in investigating
the cases of Miller and Johns, reciting all
their meetings with the defendants, John J.
Ryan and others, and identifying tbe re
ports that they had made to Chief Cochran
at Washington. - , i
Paul Victor Kaiser, a clerk In the Post
office department at Washington, testified
to keeping the record of certain legat caaea
and to making the entry Indicating the dl
missal of the Ryan case, but he aald he
made euch cntrlea Juat as directed by D. V,
Mlllef, who furnished memorandum for the
same. . .
" When rourtMook Its 'recess It had tinder
advisement the admission, of .testimony
showing that John, had solicited the client
age of others as well as of John J, Ryan tt
Co., on account of hfs alleged Influence with
the postal department, through Miller. .This
question was srgued at length, but when
court reconvened such testimony was not
admitted.
Paul V.. Kaiser was then recalled and
testified regarding the disposition of papers
in the Ryan case.
The government then closed and motion
to nonsuit the cases of. both Miller snd
Johns were overruled.
United States District Judge Anderson of
Crawfordsvllle, Ind., waa the 'first witness
for the defense and testified to knowing the
defendant Johns, for years, to whose good
reputation he heretofore gave evidence. Six
other wltneases also testified to the good
reputation borne by Johns.
James E. Piety of Terre Haute. Judge of
the Vigo circuit court; Samuel C. Stlmpton
of Terre Haute, Judge of the superior court;
Benjamin B. Hubnut, president of the
County National bank at Terre Haute;
James W. Landrum, rresldent of the Terre
Haute Coal and Lime company; Dan Faslg,
sheriff of Vigo county at Terre Haute;
Daniel Storms, formerly, of Terr Haute,
now secretary" of state at Indianapolis, and
William M. Tylor of Indianapolis, former
attorney general, testified to the good repu
tation of D. V. Miller, and then John J.
Ryan,, principal witness for the prosecution,
waa recalled by the defense and sharply
examined aa to jthe certificates snd proc
esses of his bookmaklng concern.
Defense Makes Showing.
The last witness of the day was one of
the defendants, Joseph M. Johns. He testi
fied as to hla acquaintance with Miller and
that at the suggestion of the lutter he had
decided to practice before the Postofflce de
partment. He told of hi meeting with
Ryan at l'erre Haute, specifically denying
that he had told the latter that he had any
arrangement with Miller to secure favor
able consideration of cases. He waa then
called upon to explain some of the letters
and telegrams passing between the other
defendant, Ryan, and himself, He said
that he got 14,500 in iho aggregate from
Ryan and. did not divide any. of It with
Miller, .
Tbe scene over what I called "the Jim
telegram" wa moat dramatic. John stated
that "Jim" waa a nickname for D. V. Mil
ler, and that the telegram reading, "Letter
sent. Have not written him. Go promptly."
and signed "Jim" was from Miller and that
it referred to the decision which the gov
ernment claims was sent to Johns when no
letter sbout It was sent to Ryan, the prose
cution holding that It was Intended for
Johns to see Ryan flrt. John testified
that he did nothing the day he got the
"Jim" telegram, but that the next morning
he received two letters, one for himself and
the other for Ryan, when he oommunicated
with his client.
District Attorney McPherson confronted
the witness with letter he had written.
Among many telegram handed to witness
for examination waa one sent to Ryan
after the "Jim" telegram had been re
ceived, reeding, "I, have advice of favor
able decision in your case," another read
ing. "I am now ready to aettle the entire
business on a cash basis." Pending thla
nart of the cross-examination the court
ahortly after adjourned until t o'clock to
morrow morning.
