that William Thompson came to his
death at Westbrook Oct. IS through
bullet wounds inflicted by some person
or persons to the jury unknown. NO
witnesses were called by Coroner
Perry, as there was no evidence to
place the charge against any one.
Thompson was shot through the lip
and wrist on the highway about four
miles from here and a mile from West
brook on the morning of Oct. %. 1t
was the theory of the police that the
bullet which proved fatal was fired by
one of two men with whom Thompson
robbed a general store a mile from
where the shooting occurred, and had
a disagreement regarding the division
of the spoils. Thompson was intoxi-

purpose of holding meetings for the
discussion of current topics. The sub

Battle and the Public"
President Eliot had not promised to
| speak, but had consented to say some
thing if the spirit moved. When called
upon he said present conditions indi-
Gated that many years must pass before
the labor question is satisfactorily
solved. Both sides must make con-
cessions and adopt some plan--as, for
instance, that in vogue in the great edu-
cational institutions of the country
where the professors are engaged on
trial, then on probation, and finally,
when they have proven themselves
competent and trustworthy, retained
! for life or as long as they are able to
| perform their duties. In case of dis
ability they are pensioned. This plan,
however, he said, is not feasible at the
present time. because both the EN-
ployers and the labor unions were in
way inhuman.
The principal objection to the labor
unions, from the educators point of
view, he said, was their objection to
young men becoming competent me-
chanics That they do prevent this is
evident from the fact that all unions
attempt TO limit the number of ap-
prentices employed in any industry
The right to labor is considered the
most sacred right of the American
citizen.
President Eliot's objection to the la
Dor unions was, he said, that the prime
object Of the union seemed to be to
work as few hours as possible, produce
as little as possible during that time,
and to receive as much money as pos
sible for the service given. This at
titude was in effect nothing more than
constant fight against the develop
ment OF manly instincts. He said he
had profound contempt for any man
who didn't choose to labor every day
just as long as his strength would
permit.
He protested against violent meas.
ures by strikers to prevent non-unfon
men filling the vacant places. For the
skilled mechanics banded together the
very fact that they possessed the skill
was sufficient weapon. With the un.
skilled workers, while the conditions are
different there is nothing to justify
the use of violence.
President Eliot said in closing that
bis opinion now is the same as given
years ago in contribution to a journal,
in which he characterized the strike
breaker, or modern ''scab," as "a good
type of the American hero"
