Last week she was taken to Denver where Mrs. McPherson is holding Meetings at the Auditorium. She was taken to the stags, a stage crowded with ministers of the gos- pel who hed the wonders performed upon the lame and halt. Mrs. Mc- Pherson, a beautiful woman of 31 years, with no visible appearance of divine power, asked the audience to aid her by engaging in silent prayer. All was silent. Then the clear, firm voice of the woman broke the deathless silence. She called upon God to restore the hope thst divine providence could | sight of the slip of a girl.

(Continued from Page One) render resort to a strike unnecessary. If this tribunal created to determine such wages admits that under exist- ing circumstances {t cannot fulfill this function, obviously the employes must use such power as they have to tnflu- ence the labor market which is hence- forth to be the determining factor in their wages.’ “That is to say if the board makes such admission, the employes must strike. “Then the dissenting members proceed to remove the ‘if" and to ansert that the board has made the admis sion which renders a strike mecessary. ‘Not only do the minority step down from the judicial position, which they occupy, to advise a sirite, but they obviously distort and misconstrue the language of the majority in order to provide the condition which they pro- nounce & justification. “This is not the only place in the dissenting opinion where the sugges- tion is made to. the employes to strike. As a matter of fact, the entire dis- senting opinion constitutes a strained and. exaggerated effort to inflame the employes by the belief that they have been grossly outraged by this deci- sion. “A fair statement of the facts will convince any disinterested man that no injustice has been done to these employes by the present decision and that the decrease in their wages is conservative and is based upon the law and the evidence.” Declaring that the minority savage- ly attacked statements quoted «from former decisions by the board in which “relevant circumstances" referred to in the transportation act were consid- ered in wage increases, the majority members asserted that “it would ap- pear that the “relevant circumstances” were to be considered by the present dissenting members in relation only to wage increases but not decreases.” The statement then went, into the controversy over’ theoretical living standards and the minority's charges that the year 1917 was an unfair year to adopt as a basis or a starting point in the consideration of wages of rail- way labor. “The dissenters are well aware that the wage reports of this board have begun with the year 1917 and both of them have twice concurred in this arrangement,” the statement con® tinued. Statistics from the bureau of labor and the interstate commerce commis sion on ‘ving costs and standards in 1915, a year which tho dissenters’said was a fair basis, were quoted by the majority members, who, after a lengthy presentation, said the standard of living for clerks under the rates prescribed by the decision is 12.1 per cent above 1915. % “It certainly affords grounds for satisfaction and encouragement rath er than for inflammatory appeals for Strikes,” the statement said Recognition of budgets proposed by the minority would result in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars to| the railroads each year, the majority] members continued. “This shortage would have had to be| paid by some form of taxation on the public, presumably freight rates, which would have added to the bur- dens of every individual in the coun- try, rich and poor,” they said. “It is well to remember,” the state-| ment continued, “that the time will} never come in this or any other coun- try when the ordinary rules of commor sense and business, call them econom- ic laws if you wish, can be absolutely ignored in the conduct of any indus try. The latest anstance in which these laws haye been thrown over-| board and replaced by fine-spun social- istic theories both in railway and other industries, is found in Russia, and the; result there is not one that this coun- try desires to emulat “The minority are sowing some of the tiny seeds that have germinated and blossomed into industrial anarchy in Russia when they make such state- ments as this: They (the economic laws) are simply a description of the way in which business and industry The subject discussed will be Lind, “Prevention, not Cure,"" by Dr. Theo-| fore Hansen, of Denver.

The third labor member of the board, W. 1. McMenimen, was in the east on an investigating trip when the minority report was issued. * SYRIKE BALLOTS ARE SENT OUT.

STAND Cross-Examination of Chief Executive Features Hear- ing of Conley Trial at Helena. HELENA, Mont., June 17—{By The Associated Pres#.}—Cross-examination of former Gov. Edwin L. Norris re- garding the conduct of the peniten- tary by Frank Conley, for more than 30 years warden of that institution and at present defendant in the state's suit for accounting on trial before Judge A. J. Horsky, consumed today’s brief session. ‘Tho hearing was marked by heated arguments between Col. C. B. Nolan, chief counsel for the defense, and At- torney General Wellington D. Rankin The court finally warned the attor neys it would not permit them to “go outside the issue.” The attorney general questioned Gov. Norris particularly about the sale of pork to the prison by Conley in the name of George Johnson Jr. ‘The witness declared he did not know this was done. He said he knew the state had a contract with Conley to furnish pork. “If he put in any pork bills in any body else's name,” said the former executive, “I didn't know it. Mr. Rankin also produced Conley's prison report for 1912, in which under the cost figures, an item of $482.10 for ice was listed. Gov, Norris said he did not remember this, although he asserted it might have had to do with the reimbursing of Conley for the ica taken by the state at the time the contract system was abolished The defense claims Conley was never reimbursed for the ice in question and that he took the ice in his own Ice- house at the prison when he was ce- posed as warden in 1921. On the pre- sentation of tho report by the attor- ney general, Col. Nolan hotly demand. ea that the item was merely for the determination of the per capita cost ‘at the penitentiary and that there was nothing to show Conley had been paid for ice during 1912. He demanded the state produce the original claim for the ice. Judge Horsky said he would admit the report “for what it is worth.” Asked by Mr. Ranklin if he were not prejudiced in favor of Conley, the witness replied he was “not proju- diced to such an extent I would tell an untruth." ‘He was sure the former warden would win. As for passing judgment on the present case, Gov. Norris said he* would not attempt to do this but he was “willing to pass judgment on Conjey'’s administration of the state prison.’ “There will be at least one result from this case,” said the former gov- erno.r “A court will finally determine the relative merits of convict testi- mony and that of state officers.” Asked by the attorney general if he did not think there had been “‘irrgu- larities” in the management of the prison, the witness declared “that in my judgment everything was regu- lar.” : The witness in reply to a question by Mr. Rankin, said he did not know that the head of any other institution had sold produce to the state. Ho reiterated his testimony of. yesterday, declaring that every transaction with Conley had been for he benefit of the state. “We might have made mistakes,” he insisted, “but they were board's mistakes; they weren't Cortley's.” As for there being a law preventing state officers from selting anything to the state at a profit, the witness said that all legal matters during his ad- ministration had been left to the at- torney general of the state. OMAHA BANDIT 15 CAPTURED Carlisle, famous outlaw, was captured two years ago. NATRONA POSSE NOT YET RETURNED. ‘The Natrona county authorities were far from idle in the search for Fred Brown. According to latest re- ports Sheriff Joe Marquis and sever- al deputies have not yet returned to Casper, having spent Friday afternoon and night in combing the country for the convict. ‘They were unable to find trace of him in Natrona county, however, and upon report that he had been seen near the headwaters of the Little Med- icine Bow river, left immediately for that section. The posse is expected to return late Saturday. ‘Natrona county officers expected to cut off Brown's retreat into this section ot the state and had he not been over- taken in northern Carbon county this morning it would probably have fallen to the Tot of Sheriff Marquis to have captured him.
