is a very sweeping assertion.
Inferentially it includes even
arson and murder. Do you fear
that I am going to kill off a lot

your mind at rest; I will harm
no one, but we will have our
majority just the same.

that to every hard times'' kick.

Then you 80 on to say that 7
circulated stories Of starvation
wages. That statement 1 must
brand as malicious falsehood.
! might have said that wages
had been cut, for they were cut
at that time. And here is what
your inv tigation, = that you
seem to pride yourself upon,
showed: You stated that ..the
price per car for tramming had
been reduced from Ito 8 Genus. y
But you added that you were il
formed that 1.-THE men filed more
