Will Test the North >*«•

efs ih the Trust Are Afraid'bf tfie Measure and a Test Case Is Likely to Result at an

' -''"Early Date., ... ; - — ^

« One ofthe results of Slml* anti­trust law which was passed at the last session of the legislature is thafciftll price list agreements entered into by ,lumber and shingle manufacturers in Washing­ton have been abandoned so far as North Dakota is concerned, .taw is believed, by attorneys for the*.lumber trust in the west, to be unconstitutional and it has been ascertained that a firm of Fargo attorneys has been retained to investigate the matter with a view of commencing in the. near future a case which will end in the law^being thor­oughly tested. ' < v

Under the new statute the vsale of goods produced by members of any trust or association of two or more. n4rsons organized to fix prices or regulate traf­fic is illegal. The law further provides that the consignee receiving shipment from a member of a trust may refuse payment on the goods and W'awarded them upon proof that they are fr^st ship­ments. Severe penalties are provided for any corporation failing to rtk an af­fidavit showing that it is not % member of any trust. K

Although the measure .is denounced by western lumber' manufacturers' ps class legislation and therefore unconstitution­al, they propose to take n6 chances on lumber and shingle shipments until the law is tested. The theory of class leg­islation is based on the ground%,that an exemption is made unde/ the iaw of combinations to control agricultural products or livestock, thereby enabling farmers and stock raisers to jejfect any sort of combination they niSjjr-, see fit while all other branches ofwjidustry are amenable to the law.. , ,

The provisions of the new law were called to the attention of the,.Washing-ton lumbermen a few days ago by notices

sent out by Secretary of State Porter fxl accordance with the law; 'v ; •

The Southwetsern \yashington Lum­ber Association- and tlfe Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association are the two big combinations, which control and fix the price of the product of prac­tically all of the mills that ship lumber into this state. Corporations connected in any way with either of the associa­tions are practically barred .from doing business in the state by the anti-trust law.

In addition the law affects directly re­tail lumber dealers in the state who are under agreement to maintain, certain fixed price lists which cannot now be sustained.

A well known local lumber dealer? who is in close touch with the western lumbermen, stated last night that lie did not believe that the abandonment of price list agreements would result in th? cutting of prices of lumber.

"Theoretically the prices on North Da­kota shipments will be regulated by the la\v'of supply and demand," he said. "In­asmuch as the ^tate is dependent upon the outside for its lumber and shingles, there is no danger of price cutting, even though agreements to maintain schedules are dropped. But if the market falls off there is a possibility that the shippers in competition with each other may dis­regard an agreement not finding in one state.

"I am satisfied that the law will be tested in the near futtrre, if riot > by the lumbermen, then by manufacturers of other products, hats and shoes for in­stance. The manufacturers of those much needed articles of wearing apparel sell in this state on an agreement with the retailer to maintain a certain price under penalty of losing his agency. The new law affects those people just as well-as the Iutnberr combinations of the west." • i . 1

D. E. M0RDEN WRITES OF THE TILL PARDON

Wahpeton, N. D.r Sept. 22.—To The Forum: An article referring to the Jo­seph Till Pardon Case copied from The St. Thomas Times appeared in The Fo­rum of Sept. 19.—1 am the D. E. Mor-den referred to in that article, who was deputy sheriff and jailor when Joseph Till was deprived of his liberty, and wish tp correct some of the mis-statements in that article. The Times says: "

* "Puring the trial Judge Knecshaw, of this district, then practicing before the bar, acted as Till's attorney- He used all his legal knowledge and energies to bring before the jury .such evidence as would p^rove the innocence of the de­fendant. In the case he was aided by the! chief deputy sheriff and jailor c^f the county, D. E. Morden, who had a firm belief in Till's, innocence, and who has since been untiring in his efforts -to secure a pardon for the condemned man."

I gave Judge Kneeshaw no aid what­ever on that occasion. .1 was coerced into remaining silent by the officials in

.charge, and the evidence in my posses­sion was not used at the trial nor did Judge Kneeshaw know of the same until after Till's conviction. Again the ar­ticle reads:

"Statements have been made that the record of the trial had been purposely lost in order to hinder the escuring of a pardon; that the facts which could be proved by the record were sufficient for a pardon. But in spite of these state­ments the record was easily 'found in possession of the former court stenogra­pher, who was ready to furnish a trans­cript of his minuses at all tiriles."

The record of the trial was not plac­ed on file with the clerk of the court of Pembina County for eight years after the trial, neither could they be located for those eight years, and were finally discovered in the possession of the form­er court stenographer, Vossberg, away down in Oklahoma. They were only-obtained then through the generosity of Bishop Shanley, who paid Vossberg $250 demanded by him, to transcribe the rec­ord into readable English from his shorthand notes.

The Times refers to a fair and impar­tial trial. Does the above verify that? Everything that has been done for this young man in the past ten years, has been done without hope of reward. The record of his life from the time of his birth has been obtained. No flaw ap­peared in it. Away off in Hungary, his school teacher, his clergyman, his offi-

cers in the army and the officials of his town give glowing accounts of his Chris­tian character. Some of the ablest and best meii in North Dakota , have inter­ested themselves on behalf of thi§ poor boy. Such men as Bishop Shanley. Judge Kneeshaw, Frank Lynch of Cas-seltoh and ex-Senator Lynch of Lidger-wood. Presiding EldeF Moore of Minot, Presiding Elder Oertli of Chaffee and many others have given of their time and money without result, not to speak of the efforts of the Hungarian govern­ment. In fact I only kpow of one man who opposes the granting of this par­don, and that "man prosecuted the' case and secured his conviction and afterward sat as judge on the pardon board which denied the petition. All trails that we follow lead up to the door of this one man, 'and we are willing to grovel al that man's feet, press our lips to thf h£m of' his garment and refresh his pathwdy with our tearsj if he will but aid us in securing the release of this young man that he may be restored to useful citizenship.

The Time^ goes on to say that it does not believe in the punishment of an in­nocent man, and still it lends its col­umns to the grewsome task of throw­ing an additional shovelful of earth 011 the tomb of a man buried alive for the crime of another. /

Would it not be more human, morfe manly to hear the groans of this poor boy, and the anguished sighs of his

widowed mother, arid ,ask for a new trial or a pardon? D. E. Morden.

HART ARRESTED ON COMPETITOR'S C0MPU1NT

Wliat is claimed to be the outgrowth of a competitive war between two whole­sale liquor houses in Moorhead, resulted in the arrest last .night of Lewis Hart, manager of the Empire Bottling Works. The charge against Mr. Hart is selling liquor in quantities oi less than five gal­lons without a retailer's license.

Several months ago Mr. Hart was ar­rested on a similar charge and was fin­ed $25. The case was appealed and has not yet been disposed of.

Mr. Hart claims that the charge against him is without the slightest foun­dation! He stated that while he had re­ceived three recent orders for liquor in quantities of less than five gallons he had in reality turned the orders over to the Nickells Drug Co. and that the or­ders had been filled by that concern.

The case against Mr. Hart will c^me up next Saturday in Justice Malloy's court, ^tate's Attorney Barjiett of this city has. been retained to make thc^ de­fense.

'(• SCANDINAVIAN LEAGUE.

" Hannah Moon: It has always1 beeft a matter of Speculation to 11s as to what could be the object of the Scandinavian Republican League of the state that is, as a (Scandinavian) league. Could not this influential organization give its sup­port to the party as well, as an-Ameri­can league? As some of'the other pa­pers have stated, the state has dealt lib­erally with the Scandinavians as to the offices, and what the object of this or­ganization may be beyond securing 'a sufficient quota of offices for Scandina­vians we iai) to see. ,In return for its open welcome to secure homes, em­ployment and the pursuance of happi­ness, the United tSates do not require any nationality to forget or ignore the land of their birth. Indeed, any person capable of this would, not be a fit citi­zen for any country. But the United States do require that persons of any nationality establishing themselves in this country adopt themselves to Ameri­can customs, in fact, become Americans To take an interest in our institutions whether they be religious, educational or political; not as Scandinavians, Irish or Germans, as the case may be, but as Americans. In this free country we are all Americans and whatever we do to further the interests of tins glorious countrv.should.be done as Americans. The Scandinavian element in this state constitutes a formidable power, and are among our most thrifty and enterprising citizens, and a class of people of whom we are justly proud, but more than any other nationality they are inclined to be clanish. If they have a favorite son to place in office let them boost him as an American and elect him as such, they are a potent enough power to se­cure most anything in the politicaf Hrrtf without doing so as Scandinavians. Let them drop the cognomen Scandinavian which if not absolutely ridiculous, at least sounds distasteful to those who ar£ Americans by birlli as well as in thought and deed. • "
