The Journal of July 26th says:-
The city is practically under the control OF
Il mob.
Again:-
The leaders of this lawless movement must
be arrested and punished.
So we see that the two organs which
are supporting Mr.. Harrison now sup
ported him then. They denounced the
advocates OF peaceable methods; they
belittled those who would demand
Justice for oppressed workingmen;
they stigmatized these begrimed bnt
honest laborers, in a righteous struggle
for living wages, as claw breakers"
",uobites" and "rioters." SO did Gen.
| Harrison. The truth was to the con-
trary. The evidence proves 1t mailc-
ious lie.

There is no record OF 1t. They simply

more authority to "shoop than the
a. White Cappers of Southern Indiana.
And did this great railroad lawyer

the strikers as law breakers ruthlessly
