HIS RAT POISON FOR A MATTHEW JONES ATTACKED ON TRAI (Continued_rrom_Page 1.) pan He worked as *“‘cookkee,”” he said, until he got sick from bad food, when he was “fired Then, he said, he went to Bemidji, where he was commissioned as an organizer and went back to call the men out on strike. Alleges Camp Was Insanitary. He declared that ‘“‘rotten” meat on one occasion made nearly all the men | few questions. |that he would answer none of Mc- |Donald’s questions, but the commit- sick, that the camp was dirty, insuf- ficient water for scrubbing the floors, and no facilities for bathing, and bedding filled with vermin. He got $40 a month and board, he said, and as an I. W. W. organizer he got $21 a week and railroad fare. He was thrown into jail for roiting, he said, though all the trouble there was had been caused by deputies, who were “bootleggers and blindpiggers,” and later was dismissed. Representative T. J. McGrath a St. Paul labor organizer, conducted most of the examination. The com- mittee introduced in evidence pamph- lets, song books and the constitution of the I. W. W. and asked the wit- ness whether he stood for “abolition of the wage system.” “Yes,” he said, ‘‘we believe the workers should get all we produce, and make the employers go to work.” o Mean to Get All “Then you don’t strike just to bet- ter your conditions for the time?” “No,” answered Thorn, ’we are trying to get a little at a time, un- til we have it all.” “If you cut down a tree, do you think you are entitled to that tree?” “Yes, why not?” “How about the man who owns the land?” “Owns the land? mean?” “Why, the man who has title to the land.” “How’d he get the title? it.” Thorn denied he had preached sa+ botage, but admitted that it is prac- ticed by the I. W. W. at times. “t means to lay down on your job,” he said, “when you can’t get your de- mands. Bum pay, bum work.” Charbes “Stacked Cards.” Thorn was asked about songs in the I. W. W. book, telting of the de- struction of property. Ettor here in- terrupted. He insisted that the I W. W. had a right to be represented by gated. “If not we are dome, as far as our orgamza!lon is concerned,” he said. “This is a case of stacked cards, and 1 have no hesitation in saying so.” Mr. McGrath resented this charge, and said that the principles of the I W. W. are “an inherent part of the trouble in Northern Minnesota,” and hence pertinent to the inquiry. An- other I. W. W. broke in, declaring that the member conducting the ex- amination had been ‘“‘doing the bid- ding of his master.” McGrath re- joined that he had been working for How do you He stole counsel, if it was to be investi-| 10 years solely in the interests of la- bor. Chairman George L. Siegel said that the employers had asked to be represented by counsel, and had been refused. The committee finally de- cided to let both sides have “coun- sel” to ask questions, and Ettor at once assumed the role for the I. W. | W., meeting nearly every question with an objection. Lumber Attorney Takes Hand. E. E. McDonald of Bemidji, ap- peared as attorney for the lumber- men, saying that he knew the wit- ness, Thorn, and thought he could bring out the true situation with a Thorn announced tee held some of them to be pertin- ent. Under McDonald’s cross-exam- ination Thorn admitted that he had made his headquarters in Bemidji in the I. W. W. hall and that the pamph- lets in evidence were distributed there. Ettor objected to questions about the doctrinse preached in the hall. “This man is not on trial for con- spiracy,” he said. Chairman Siegel said Thorn had a right to refuse an- swers that would incriminate him. Thorn then refused to answer this line of inquiry. He admitted going from camp to camp in the Gemmell district with three or four other I W. W. men, calling the strike, but denied that any violence was used. SUPT. STEWART ON VISIT The Blackduck American says: “Supt. W. E. Peik accompanied W. B. Stewart, county superintendent of schools, on a visit to Miss Olson’s school in Dist. No. 58 last Friday morning. Such visits on the part of the city superintendents and normal training teachers have been requested by the department of education in schools maintaining training depart- ments. - When there are extra charges for transportation, it is paid out of the normal training aid, which in our case are made to cover. €x- penditures for the year.
