LICENSE CASE ENDS

ARGUMENTS MADE IN CIRCUIT COURT. .

CROWD OF WOMEN PRESENT

Judge Allen will Review All of the Teetimony Before Deciding the Ca»e.

Judge H. Clay Allen heard the argument in the power of attorney remon•trance ault brought by Charlea H. Schafer tn arpport of hi* application for a liquor licenae. In the Circuit Court today. A number of people were “ In the courtroom, women being In the majority, ' ' Yeaterday and laat night band bl!la were dletrtbuted throughout the Fourth ward, headed by the qneation. In bold type: “Baloona; ahall there be any In the Fourth ward?" The Mil announced that the caae will be decided by Judge Allen, In the Circuit Court, and that Chart** J. Orblaon "will a. gue this memoreble caae In defense of tfd homee, the women and children in thla reaidence portion of our city." Urgad to Cheer Attorney. It advised the good dtlaena of the ward to be In the Circuit Court room and hear the argument, and advisee them to "there cheer Mr. Orbleon and those who have labored faithfully, as well as to show the court that you mean what you say when you sign a remonstrance against all the saloons In the ward." The attorneys agreed to finish their argument in three hours to each side, and Charles J. Orblson, attorney for the AntiSaloon League, which Is defending the remonstrance, opened the case for the remonstrants. No Resort to Trickery. Orbtson said, in considering some -of the testimony questioning the genuineness of some signatures, that he did not believe that there was one Illegal signature in the seventeen hundred, and that the people who had circulated the remonstrances In blank were not the kind who would resort to trickery and forgery to bar anr man from his legal right Righta of Husbands. Orblson defended the right of husbands to sign for their wives, and quoted a number of authorities to substantiate his statement. He said that, considering the question from a moral standpoint, if the matter were left to the women there would be no case at Issue. Evans Woollen, counsel for the applicant, opened his caae by stating that he did not care to discuss the Inferences of the remonstrants that they had exclusive right to the moral element Involved, and would confine himself to the points of law alone. He spoke fur an hour, reading extracts from decisions of other cases to show that the remonstrants had not made a case. The great question Involved struck Mr. Woollen as being whether the remonstrance, as introduced In evidence, was valid in Its form, admitting that the power-of-sttorney remonstrance is legal. Clbse of the Argument. The argument in the case will be finished late this evening, and the case submitted to Judge Allen. Judge Allen stated that It would be some time before he could reach n decision, as the evidence Is so voluminous that It will take some time to go over tt. He said he haA no Idea when a decision can be announced. T. P. Klaer, one of the most aggressive of the remonstrants, said to-day that, admitting nearly all of the signatures contested, there were still enough to bar the Issuance of a licenae. The original remonstrance has 1.73H names, and as a majority of 1.77S votes In the ward but 1.887 signature* are necessary. Kiser claims that they have more than that number that will stand. The Poaalble Results. If the case is decided In favor of the Anti-Saloon League It will mean that every saloon in the Fourth ward will be closed as soon as Its license expires. There are now five or six applications pending, awaiting the decision of Judge Allen on the validity of the, remonstrance, and a number of others will soon be tfisde.

Have Tried Conciliation. "We have sought to accomplish this end by conciliatory methods, by submitting disputed points to arbitration, and by a refusal to work upon the terms offered us. commonly spoken of as strikes, when all other means of adjusting the grievances complained of have failed. As proof of our sincerity we point to the Joint convention system of adjusting the wages and conditions of employment from year to year, which we have by our persistent efforts Introduced and firmly established in a great majority of the bituminous fields of the United States, where the operators and miners mutually confer and agree upon such terms of employment as may be satisfactory for a given period of time. "For five years we have annually made contracts in this manner with many of the bituminous coal operator*, and notwithstanding the Allegations that are persistently made that we are an Irresponsible body, wc feel proud of the fact that, while It may have been to our financial interests on many occasions to cast them aside, and we were under no legal obligations to anyone, we have faithfully lived up to the letter and spirit of every contract we have made, nor shall we violate them now. Resistance to Organization. "One hundred and fifty thousand of our craftsmen In the anthracite region of Pennsylvania have sought to secure better wages and relief from many galling conditions under which they have been compelled to labor In the past. They have tried by every honorable means known to‘civilised men to adjust the grievances with their employers without resorting to a strike. In this they have failed because Uie employers have assumed to be the only parties Interested in all the questions involving the operation of the mines, a position that has not been sustained by the conditions existing since a stoppage of work has taken place. "Some of the coal operators have been quoted as saying that the question is not one of wages or other conditions of employment, but that they believe it to be an opportune time to destroy the union. Whether they have made this statement or not. their actions indicate that their purpose is to destroy our organisation. We know from experience the dire results of organised capital upon the community j at large In the coat region* when not j modified by the Influence of organised la-

bor.

Self-Preservation. "If tt ts the purpose of the coal opera- j tor* to destroy our union, then upon the • principle that self-preservation ts the first law of nature, we would be fully I Justified in taking drastic measures to prevent the accomplishment of their de- j signs. We believe we have within our reach the means by which that purpose can be thwarted. No legal power can compel us to work tf we desire to re- j main idle. “There Is no more reason why we should 1 be required to sell our labor at a lower; price than we are asking for tt, than a ‘ member 6t a corporation should be com- | pclled to tell his stock when he wants to! ’ keep it. "We believe that our Interests In the i community of which w# are a part, and | our obligations to the operators, with j whom we have agreements, require that i wo shall not Inaugurate a general suspen- I eion of work in the coal trade. They may destroy our union, but they can not make us violate our contracts. Struggle will be Continued. "The struggle tn the anthracite region ) will be continued until our demands have ! been granted or & competent board of arbitration has declared that we are I wrong. No class of men realises more than we do the great power of public : opinion. Its influence is potent for good or evil in accordance with the manner in which It Is used. No right can be secured and maintained without its support. and no wrong can long exist that meets with its concentrated opposition. "Realising this fact, we appeal to the people at large to bring all possible pressure to bear on the officers and stockholders of the anthracite coal carrying rail- I roads and other anthracite coal interests j to treat considerately the appeals of their employes for arbitration.

ture of a large sum of money' In the purchase of food. Our own resources are limited. We have levied a large assessment on those of our member* who are at work to assist us in caring for those who are on strike. "We need more money for that purpose and we appeal to every trade union and trade unionist, to every cltlsen whose interests are involved, and to every lover of fair play, to assist ps in raising one million dollars per month from outside sources as long as the strike may last. "We believe that with this amount of money, together with the amount received from our own members, we can continue the struggle until Justice has been secured for the anthracite miners. "Such a result would bring permanent peace and stability to the coal trade and redound to the common welfare of the people. " ‘He who gives quickly gives twice.' “All money should be sent to W. B.

Sixth Iowa district, which has been represented several years by Major Tracey, a Republican. Reese lives at Albla. and has been prominent in politics os well as in the affairs of the miners. Since coming to Indianapolis for the miners’ convention his friends at home have been urging him to run for Congress. He telegraphed them last night that he would accept. The district was Republican last election by over 2.500. but Major Tracey has been twice defeated, so Reese has hopes. There are over 5,000 miners in the district, and he will be strong among them. Reese is one of the most prominent members of the miners’ organisation. He is a strong speaker and one of the close friends of President-Milchell, who may spend a few days^in his district lining up the miners here, although Mitchell is not a politician. The miners would like to have a representative in Congress to lead their fight against government by injunction, and they may rally to the support of Reese.

The donations and promises were re-

Delegate Smith, of West Virginia, presented the following resolution: "Be It resolved. That the entire delegations of this convention Indorse the strike in district 17, and continue their financial sup-

port until the strike Is won.” West Virginia Recognized.

The purpose of the resolution, he said, was to show that whether or not West Virginia had been recognized by the convention. Delegate Burke, of Pennsylvania. opposed It on the ground that West Virginia had already received recognition and funds, but President Mitchell favored

siderable length, finally suggested, as a compromise, that the assessment be collected by a double system, so that In States where the check-off system Is used, HP per, cent, could be collected, while in other States the recommendations of President Mitchell for 81 a week should prevail. This suggestion was adopted and referred to t^ie committee that met at the Occidental last night.

Difference of Opinion at Wheeling— Split in Chimney Committee. (Special to The Indianapolis News.] WHEELING. W. Va.. July 19.-The pressed ware committee reported to the Flint Glass Workers’ convention to-day, and the recommendations were discussed with some show of acrimony. The young men contend for an advance in wages, based upon the increased cost of living, while the older delegates who have frequently met the manufacturers In conference are satisfied with existing conditions. The chimney committee Is divided upon the proposition to ask the same wages for machine as for hand-made ware, and two reports will probably go in. The old question of organised labor's attitude toward labor-saving machinery is involved, and will be fought out upon the floor. The convention will be in session next week, making It the longest in the history of the association. Toledo is after the national headquarters, discouraging the Wheeling delegates, who fear that a divided vote for removal will insure the retention of the Pittsburg headquarters. Covington, Ky., to-day entered the list of cities that are fighting for the 1908 convention.

of Labor. A resolution declaring that the union does not recognise the National Civic Federation of New Tork was carried. The weekly benefits for the sick were raised from 86 to 86.26. It was resolved not to divide the organisation into

The committee on a shorter work day reported in favor of a general demand for a nine-hour day on May 1, 1908, and recommended that all future contracts contain a nine-hour clause. Several of the delegates considered the resolution too radical, and as a substitute tt was proposed that the Interokilonal union recommepd that every local union in making demands and settling disputes give preference to a nine-hour day without decrease

A resolution, warning miners not to take employment without leaftilng the conditions, was adopted. The purpose of this is to’warn miners against being employed by agents of the anthracite operators. A resolution of sympathy for the sufferers from the mine disasters at CoaJ Creek. Tenn.. Johnstown, Pa., and Utah, was presented. Mine owners and mine inspectors were condemned for permitting conditions that would cause explosions. Stale Mine Inspector Roderick, of Pennsylvania, was bitterly denounced for permittin the coal company to resume work while there were still dead bodies of the miners In the mine, but President Mitchell had the resolution referred to the orantxation committee on resolutions. He counseled that Roderick should not be condemned until it was known for sure that he w*s guilty. If he is guilty, he said, he should be branded before the world.

Many Believe that of the Merchants* Heating and Lighting Company Should be Granted.

While the general setnlment among business men is that the franchise ordinance asked for by the Merchant*' Heating and Lighting Company should be promptly passed by the City Council, there Is a fear that It will not have smooth sailing. The following interviews were obtained this morning: A. Kiefer Drug Co. A. Kiefer Drug Company—We have no stock In this company, but we are heartily In favor of >ts receiving the franchise that It la asking of the City Council. We will take stock in the company If necessary to help It, as we believe In It. We favor It because, when established. It will minimize our fire risk and will discourage an advance In Insurance rates. It will afford us a clean heat and a clean light. The Council should unquestionably pass this ordinance. Councilman Holliday. Councilman Holliday—I signed the report of the committee for the ordinance. I am In favor of the ordinance. There Is nothing more for me to say on the subject. H. B. Hlbben. H. B. Hlbben—The Jobbing interests of Indianapolis are largely In favor of seeing this company obtain Its franchise. It will mean to us a better method of heating and lighting. It will mean clean-

er premises, freedom from dirt, advantages that will repreaent more than the cost of the heating. Those who are asking for this franchise are rsputkble citizens, and will carry out their promises. Councilman Naglay. Councilman N eg ley—The prospect for tho passage of thl* ordinance seem* to me to be a matter of uncertainty. Personally I am unequivocally for It There seems to be an opinion In the minds of some members of the Council that the let-, ting of this franchise at this time will hazard the Interests of the city In the letting of the general lighting contract, which has to be let next year. I believe this Is a mistaken Idea to start with, and further, that the interests of the general public can better be subserved by passing this ordinance, . ratifying this franchise, than by delaying It until we have to go through another winter with Its Inconveniences of Insufficient heat and the use of coal for' fuel. As far as I am concerned I know of ju> reason why the Merchants’ Heating and Lighting Company should be prohibited from putting Itself In a position to bid on the city lighting contract. If it should choose to do so. I don’t know that It will want to do so, but we y should not discourage competition.

July 19—The Joint committee representing the SpanishAmertcan War Veteran*’ Association and Spanish War Veterans’ Association, after a conference here lasting several days, ha* agreed upon a plan under which th# two organisation* are to unite. The two naval organizations are to meet August 22-25, one at Indianapolis and one at Detroit, and it is the expectation that the plan of consolidation will be agreed on at those meetings. The President has been Interested in bringing about a union, and will visit both conventions In session and urge the adoption of the joint committee's report. Wood will Lose. General Leonard Is anxious to be appointed a member of the Isthmian canal commission but It Is likely the President will not appoint him. on account of tbs strong antagonism of Senator Hanna to Wood. Ever since the Rathbone episode, tn which Hanna believes Wood wronged Rathbone, Hanna has been outspoken In opposition to Wood, and has even threatened to expose what be declares was unbridled extravagance in Cuban expenditure during Wood’s regime. Tbs President will probably utilize Wood’s suggestions concsrnina sanitary regula-

tions on the canal route, but Wood is not to go on the commission, either as an army officer or as "business manager." Senator Hanna would undoubtedly have made an open fight against General Wood If he had been named as a commissioner. The only thing Wood can hope to get, without a fight with Hanna, would be an ordinary military promotion. SHOTS ECHO IK NEWPORT. New York and Philadelphia Million' a Iras In a ftcancARl NEWPORT, R.
