the supposed authority was used, not in
the interests OF the 12, but TO iurther the
personal ambition or malice OF the two
il would no longer justify their conduct.
Doing thing under the cloak OF author
ity Ia not doing it with authority. The
injury OF the two to the employer in such
| an instance would only be aggravated by
their treachery to the associated II. and
both employees and employer should
with equal insistence ask the vindlca-
tion of the law.
''If it appears, therefore, applying
the illustration to tbs occurrences that
will be brought to your attention, that
any two or more persons in concert in
sisted or demanded. under effective PEN
alties and threats upon men quitting
their employ ment, to the obstruction OF
the mails or interstate commerce, you
may inquire whether they did these
acts as strangers to these men, or
whether they did them under the
guise OF trustees and leaders OF an asso-
citation to which these men belong !;
and, if the latter appears, you may in
quire whether their acts and conduct
in that respect were in faithful and
conscientious execution OF their sup
OF that authority as a guise to advance
personal am bition or satisfy private
malice.
There 10 honest leadership among
these, our laboring fellow. C tgsns, and
there is doubtless dishonest leadership.
You should not brand any action OF
leadership as done dishonesty or in
bad faith unless it clearly go appears;
but if it does so appear, il any person
is shown to lave betrayed the trust OF
these toiling men, and their acts fall
within the definition OF a crime as l
have given 1t to you, it is alike the in
terest, the pleasure and the duty OF
every ctzsn to bring them to swift and
heavy punish ment.
81 wish again, in conclusion, to i'm
press upon you the fact that the preR-
ent emergency is 20 vindicste the law.
Ii no one has violated the law under
the rules l have laid down, it needs no
vindicaton; but if thero has been such
violation, there should be quick, prompt
and adequate indictment"
II confess the problems which are
made the occasion or pretext for the
present disturb Dances have not received
the consideration they deserve. IL Is our
duty as citizens to take them up and by
candid and courageous discussion ascer-
tain what wrongs exist and what reme-
dies can be applied, But neither the ex-
istence OF such problems nor the neglect
of the public hitherto to adequately con-
slider them, justities the violation of law
or the bringing on Of general lawlese-
ness. Let US first restore peace and
punish the offenders of the law. and
then the atmosphere will be clear to
think over the claims of those who have
real grievance. First vndicate the law.
Until that Is done no other questions are
in order.'
At the conclusion OF the lengthy
charge. Judge Grosscup said:
"Since have prepared these in struc-
lions, have been informed q deputy
United States marshal WAS shot W hiie |
in the discharge OF his duty. will read
the section OF the United States statutes
that covers offanses OF this nature. Any
person offending under the law in
similar manner can be indicted. Re-
gentlemen, you have been
called here under exciting circumstances
TO discharge grave public duty"
The jury retired to the jury room. and |
after organizing went to dinner. Deputy
u United States Marshal jones and ivroo
of marshsls are detniled to keep unwel-
come intruders from the scene of the
jury's labors.
The railroad attorneys have filed in
formation against the rioters in the dis
trio. attorneys Office, and several clerks
have been put to work at compiling it
for the convenience of the jury. To
Oliver Pagen, assistant United States
attorney, will fall the duty OF drawing
the indictments. Mr.. Pagen said today
the jury would have to make haste
slowly.
"We have an appalling lot of informa-
tiou," said Mr.. Psgen. but indictments
for conspiracy and melting to riot are
serious things, and must be drawn up
precisely. 1t has been suggested that
the jurors receive the testimony in
practical way, keeping the proper mem
orada and finding true bills from time
to time as the information warrants the
indictment of men for conspiracy against
the government"
