Chicago. -"That's the man who killed
my husband" With these words Mrs
Charles L. Carlstrom, widow Of a MUIR
dered nonunionist, in this city identi-
fed Charles Gilhooley, seIf-confessed
skiing of sIuggers" and set Id motion le-
cal machinery which has unearthed the
fact that Chicago is the home of an or
ganized band of thugs, who, operating
upon a scale OF prices in the pay OF GER
tain labor unions, are engaged in the
pursuit OF killing, if possible, and MAIN
ing, when fatal result cannot be at
tanned, union men refusing to lay down
their tools and nonunion men who per-
sist in working, despite the entreatIes OF
the labor organizations.
Method of the System"
NO question now exists here regarding
the methods which some Of the labor
unions, whose men quit work in the
great transfers strike, employed in
their endeavor to win out When Gil
hoolay confessed his part in the con-
spiracy there was some question as to
the real truth in the matter, many be-
1ieVing that the man, who has long
criminal record. might have boosted !:
but before the avoWal OF Gilhooley, IS
part In the plot came the confession Of
Charles j. Casey, business agent Of the
wagon makers Union. No. 4, telling the
whole history of the system" and
branding the transfers strike, IN con-
,nection with which the deeds were com
United, as a blot Of the blacklist charac-
ter, in the history Of labor organizations.
The system, : which few found it pos
sfbIe to escape, was this: A list of men
to be disposed Of was furnished the
sluggers in command, the names, begin

were handed out to the assistants, who
Swallowed the victims until opportunity
was given them to carry out their das-
tardly work A single blow often suf-
feed to lay men cold in death, in which
case, the next name was looked up and
the game continued In all, II men are
known to have been fatally injured, four
are already dead, and numberless cases
OF manning have been reported. Eight
men are in the tolls Of the law as directly
implicated in the plan, and their guilt
is declared to be a matter Of absolute
certainty, because of the confession Of
the two leading lights, Casey and Gil
hooley. The eight, with bits of their his

reason that sIugging is nothing new

I
here
The idea must not be gained that every
union in this city has employed men in
murderous missions. for such is not the
case. Many have stuck rigidly to the
straight and narrow path in their fights
with the employing class, allowing moth
ing but persuasion to enter into the sur
rounding conditions Of the strike.
VIII Benefit Honest Unions.
| One benefit of the expose, one in which
| the unions will gain, is pointed out by
Louis A Heile, a prominent labor at
torney He says:
| 81 believe that the arrest and confess
sions Of these men will have a great IN
| fluenee upon the labor situation IN this
city. The rank and file Of the labor er-
CARNATIONS have been kept in almost
total ignorance Of the manner in which
strikes are conducted. I know that the
great majority Of the members of the
Carriage and Wagon Workers union
/ in fact, nearly all Of the members who
are not on the executive board-kneW
nothing Of what was going on, and were
as much surprised as the general pub
lie when they read of the revelation
which followed the arrest of these men.
Unionists Disprove slugging.
81 know that this is the view that the
majority Of the unionists in the city
will take Of the matter. I had occasion
to discuss the present Investigation with
four union men, one Of whom is a brick
layer. another plumber and another &
street car man. They told me they were
glad that the men VINO connived at muir
der had been apprehended, and hoped
they would be punished.
THE sooner we get rid of the kind Of
fellows who are paying these sluggers
the better it is for US, said one of them
to me. If we had cut them out before
we could never have a strike like the
Transfers walkout in Chicago
I'VE mean to prosecute the investiga-
ton which we have begun vigorously,
and as long as there is anything further
to do. The Carriage and Wagon Manu-
faeturers' association is, of course, inter-
ested in the prosecution Of the men who
have been slugging the employees Of its
members. We are not going to stop there,
however We want to know all about
what the officers OF other unions have
been doing in the matter OF employing
men to slug honest workingmen. I be-
Iieye that by doing so we can put a stop
to the acts Of violence which have dis
graced not only the labor unions but the
