From The Labor World: Case of Adams Found “Surprising”
From Saturday’s Duluth Labor World:
Besides Orchard, a man named Steve Adams has been charged with the murder of ex-Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho, and now they are telling some “surprising” things about the case of Adams. He is a voluntary inmate of the penitentiary at Boise, has never been taken before a judge, was not taken before the grand jury, has declined the services of the attorneys of the labor unions when offered to him, and has made no effort to get free, although clearly held illegally.
Some time ago Adam’s wife and children arrived in Boise, penniless and poorly dressed. They became the guests of the superintendent of the penitentiary, were taken out driving each day in the warden’s carriage, had plenty of money, and expensive clothes, and so on.

From the International Socialist Review – The London Shop Girl’s Life
“Living In.”
TO BE sure we all ‘live in.’ Do not the American girls?” was the remark made by a young woman in one of the large stores in the center of London, when I asked her as to the life of English shop girls. Further conversation with London shop “assistants” many of whom had spent several years in that position brought out a series of facts concerning the life of this class that is utterly different from anything in the American mercantile industry. Though much may be said concerning the need of the American shop girl, for seats, short hours, etc., the English assistants, besides having all these to secure has yet other troubles which are peculiarly their own. However long the hours or annoying the “floor-walker” may be to the American girl, when business closes at night she is at last free to seek her own home or to visit her acquaintances, as she may desire. Not so with the English assistant; her eating, drinking, and sleeping, equally with her work are under the close supervision of the employer.
