WOLF AND VANNATTA ADMIT THEY ARE WATCHING ACHMITZ JURY
STEVE ADAMS, PARTNER OF ASSASSIN ORCHARD, MAY REFUSE TO TESTIFY
IRON WORKERS
STRIKE IS NOT
YET ADJUSTED
Action of the Machinists
Prevents Reopening of
the Plants '
MEN TO REMAIN IDLE
Rejection of Compromise
Agreement Complicates
the Situation
AROUSES ANTAGONISM
Several Firms Are in Favor
of Importing Mechan
ics From East \u25a0"
Through the action of machin
ists' union No. 68 in refusing to
ratify the agreement arranged
between the iron trades council
and the metal trades association
work will not be resumed today
in the local iron works. As a con
sequence the fires will -continue
banked in 97 plants and 12,000
men will remain idle in the trades
whose industrial troubles were
thought to be ended. It \u25a0may "fol
low, according^to a man familiar
with . the f eelihg among the prcn
prietors of the iron \u25a0\u25a0works, that ma
chinists will, be imported .from the
oast and the works will be reopened
. . - * . . . , w
on the basis of union men working
in all departments but' the machinists',
or on an open shop plan.
The committee of the metal trades
association, consisting of J. J. Tynan.
J. W. Kerr and R. H. Postlethwalte,
last night Issued a statement ! to the
firms comprising the employers* organi
zation which declared that through the
failure of the machinists to ratify the
compromize agreement work could not
be resumed.
MAY BREAK OFF SrEGOTIATIOXS
A meeting of the association will be
held Tuesday, when the problems fac
ing it will be discussed. Several firms
in the organization were opposed to the
agreement signed through the efforts of
the conciliation committee of the civic
league ana did not favor treating with
the unions.. These employers, it is re
ported, have been alert to find an ex
cuse to break the contract . with the
iron trades council, and now that' an
opportunity has presented, itself . they
may take advantage of the chance to
break off negotiations.
The machinists met Saturday night
to consider the ratification of the con
ciliation agreement, which provided for
a graduated reduction in the work
day. with an ultimate eight hour day
arrangement. The agreement provided
that all further differences were to be
submitted to - arbitration. This plan
did not meet with the approval of the
machinists, though It Is understood that
not a large proportion of the 1,600
members of the union were present at
the session. After discussion the meet
ing voted to reject the agreement. A
committee from the Oakland branch of
the machinists' union was present at
the meeting and authorized- to- pledge,
that organization to v stand on whatever
grpund was taken by the San Francisco
local. Therefor* the Oakland machin
ists will not return to work today and
the < Oakland Iron works will remain
dosed.
rLAATS TO REMAIN IDLE
Twenty-seven unions of the council,
comprising more than 10,000 men, had
previously voted to adopt the schedule
agreement and were ready to report to
work this pornlng. The action of . the
machlnlets, representing 1,600 men;
nullifies this amicable state, of affaire
and creates an antagonism in the coun
cil ltself.
At the Union Iron T^orks, where 603
machinists bad been employed, prepa
rations] had been made to reopen this
mornlngr *V&r\ the protracted. Idleness
caused by the . strike. But the . big Po
trero ''plant will^ remain Idle- for "the
present/ as will the Rlsdon. Fulton and
other large shipbulldinsr and foundry
establishments. 'The spirit of the more
conservative \ employers Is » that -\u25a0 but , a 1a 1
frw days* grace .will be allowed Jthe
empioyes* to 'adjust their differences..
At th« expiration of \hat time men will
be brought from the eael, . a < move
which the more radical iron men; have
•Ar&cated \u25a0 earnestly, heretofore.

[\\ '\u25a0 BOISE, June 9.-7-Steve Adams, another. prisoner witness for^the
state in the caseagainst W.D. Haj-wood, is on his way to Boisel" He
is:being;brought-here-from the jail at Wallace, where he -has been
held -.pending -trial ion the . charge of murder. Adams, according to
Harry Orchard, was; the partner, of -the great assassin in many of the
"bumping /off" expeditions,' successful "and unsuccessful, to which
orchard- has; made confession. Adanis confessed last year, butj un
like Orchard^ repudiated the v . document when 'he faced the gallows.
The ' confession 'is^- however, sworn* and in writing.- It shows careful
correction and 'interlineatioh in : ' Adams' own -handwriting.' As
toiindingrthoughf:it':. may • seem^. those >Avho r have seen -Adams', confes
sion say it- surpasses ; Orchard's;; story of coldblooded relation of man
hunting;and!,murder. -* ,Thelist of Adams' alleged .victims isnot:a3
loiig v as\» that r with \u25a0iwhich Orchard -.credits himself, but this is said
to -be i because, Steve jhunted; a single 'quarry,; while" Harry, to use his
own words," "did not '-care/ \vhether:he : killed:one»man br-50.".
Another- interesting .witness .who arrived ;in *B6ise today is -Mrs.

took *to wife "notwithstanding^ the existence ,of another wife living
