that II was published with no malicious motives
but simply TO give plain and unvarnished re-
port OF the trial. 1t bore the imprint or "Epar-

and amalgamated trades union took up the fight
for the discharged printers and have placarded
the city with appeals to the public to withdraw
patronage from the paper, and have published
advertisements to the same effect in the 10

Eddy street under the auspices or Yerba Yuena

largely represented, as was also the press OF the
