the Assassin.
PITTsBURo, Pa, July 25.-When the
news that Mr.. Frick had been shot
reached the directors Of the Union Mill
workers, the men were loud in their de-
nunciations of the assassin. Thomas
Warren of the press committee said !:
"There is not mill worker or laborer in
this entire section that does not deeply
deplore the shooting of Mr.. Frick. Our
fight against Mr.. Frick is fair one, and
We have only employed fair means. We
never courted for an instant violence
against the officials Of the company.
President Weihe of the Amalgamated
Association was much affected over the
news. He said: at was with the utmost
regret that heard OF the shooting Of
Mr.. Frick, and emphatically denounced
the action OF the assailant. He was an
assassin at heart, and an enemy not only
to thu country, but to organized labor all
over the United States. hope the great
est pun shment the law allows will be the
reward OF the cowardly assailant of Mr..
Frick.
