citizens Shocking industrial crimes
are committed in that city IN the name
of organized labor but such is the
paralyzed hand OF the law that II Is

to better their own condition by de-

ers. This condition prevails. and II Is
needless for Chicago to deny IT, The
records of her own courts, of her own
daily papers, show II. The suppressed
yet indignant protests of her citizens
have been and are passed by unhecded.
The voice Of public conscience Is hushcd
