McIN’TYRE The work on the McIntyre mill has been somewhat delayed owing to lack of sufficient carpenters. This is now being oVerOOme however. Eight more men have been added to the force this week and the work is being push ed with all possibly effort. The mill ‘ machinery is being delivered and the -work of placing this will begin at The counsel for the defence in pressing for the trial oi 'the cases pointed out that an injustice was being done when so many of the men were ready for trial. Four of the de- fendants desire to go away he said. Upon this the counsel for the prose- cution agreed ' that in any case where men desired to leave the camp the prosecution would withdraw the charges. The counsel for the defence insisted on this statement being made a part of the l't‘fijl‘d in the casesand the court stcnotrz‘apher was ordered to inscribe, it. ln'ler this the position is taken that all men charged and not in the vamp Jan. 6 when the cases are scheduled to come up. cannot be pl‘tr;‘m‘tlr'd against and the. cases will be dismissed. Percy Manin charged with being a member of an unlawful assembly was discharged by the n‘ng'istrate ‘ The defence ohjevted to the. pro- ceeding suggested by Mr. Godfrey stating that the other (i5 or more cases were entitled to proceed with the hearing and that as the counsel for both sides wre prepared the court. should order the trial to pro- ceed. When the prommution insisted that Clary's case should be tried first the counsel for the defence al- leged that it. was done. to prejudice the defence of the ('x') men who are employes of the Hollimrer Mine, who had according to the statement of counsel committed no offense and no breach of the Lemieux act, Mr. Godfrey then asked that all cases stand for a Considerable ad- journment to Jan.
