Prof. Hoxfe takes the trades union point of view in a !rmnner that would satisfy the most radical labor organi zation adherent.

Encouraged by the- showing made yefterday, the defense in the Haywood case proceed- tlmony today, confident that they would be able to break down the re markable story by Harry Orchard In sofar as It affects Haywood and the other officers of the Western Federa tion of Miners. The decision of Judge Wood as to the admission of testimony in which he sustained Mr. Darrow's point that the defense had a right to Introduce evidence showing Orchard's connection with the mine owners and detectives makes It certain, according to the claim of Haywood's counsel, that they will be able to show that nil the crimes committed by Orchard were the result of a conspiracy to discredit and de stroy the Western Federation, -..TUay claim that they have ample testimony to show thin conspiracy and that th murder of Governor .Steunenberg was the result either of his conspiracy or the private grudge held by Orchard asnlnsf the governor for driving him out of Idaho. When the taking of testimony was resumed this morning, Haywood was more cheerful than he has been at any time since Orchard began his story on the stand.
