His voice -and of all his terrible characteristics this is without shadow of doubt the worst-is heavy. and when anger arouses him, it resembles the roar of an African lion more than a human noise Little wonder that when Business Agent Casey faced him in court, after confess ing, that his hair nearly stood on end when the king addressed him.
 The numerous sluggings during the strike and the apparent inability of the police to handle the situation, was a mystery to the average citizen. and con- sequently the city was astounded when the facts were brought to light Time and again the press hinted at paid mur- ders, but public sentiment deposed the idea. Now, however. the confession of both parties to the scandal forms a con- meeting link which no evidence or tes- timony can break. and no doubt exists as to the origin of the nefarious crimes which were seemingly committed wan tonly.

The rank and file of the labor or gsnizations have been kept in almost total ignorance of the manner in which strikes are conducted 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-knev 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.
 We have never had any quarrel with legitimate trade uniouism. It is not the employers. but the radical leaders such as this man Casey. who work harm to th cause of labor 1t Is they who em- ploy these scalaxags and rho fatten of of the misfortunes Of the honest work ingman-
