scnt3 the road sa!d:
THE public Will be amazed when the extent Of
this conspiracy is learned, It will be in time 1t
Is bullscyo shot. Our proof Is overwhelming and
as clear be- The arrests are made under the
Merritt law which makes # easier to prove case Of
this kind. Everything a'legc we can prove. The

Murphy Will be the Brotherhood 1t Is as yet
impossible to say. The members themselves do not
know. A few DAYS ago Chairman Hogc declared that
should he bo arrested or any Of the high officers OF
the Brotherhood, general strike throughout the
country would be ordered Whether he made such
q broad statement on the supposition that neither
he any Of the high officials would be arrested is not
known. when by reporter to-day he said
that he was totally unable TO make any statement as
to what either he tho Brotherhood would do
