DOUBTLESS hundreds of eyewitness are ready to
testify that they saw nothing disreputabe at the
picnic of the Parasol and Umbrella Makers Union,
but their negative testimony to what they did not
see will not invalidate that of the reporter who has
stated what he positively on the same occasion.
1t is the united testimony of several of our most OBJ
serving reporters that the article in question was IN
no sense exaggerated and we have reason to fear
that the managers OF the Parasol and Umbrella
Makers Union were not aware of half the excesses
committed at their picnic, possibly by persons not
of their Unon but certainly admitted with 1t to the
grounds which they had hired.-Ed.l
