William Sulzcr presided. He said:
I'VE have met to protest againse the
wrongs and conditions and outrages in
Russia. We arraign the government of
the car before the bar of civilization
for great crimes against Il common
humanity.
The civilized world is stunned and
shocked and grieved by the inhuman
barbarities and appalling atrocities
which have been going on for the past
two years in Russia. During this short
time | am reliably informed by those
most competent to testify more than
100000 innocent Jews, peaceable Cath
Ollie Poles, inoffensive Lutheran Firms
and lawabidinS Christian Armenians-
helpless and defenseless men, women
and children, absolutely guilty of no
wrong-have been cruelty, inhumanly,
pitilessly and barbarously murdered
and butchered to make a Russian holt
day.
"There has been nothing like it in
all the history of the world, not dur
ing the horrors of the dark ages, and
h%umonity today stands aghast, morti-
fed and Mortified.
"Oficial Russia is responsible for
these awful atrocities. l charge on nv
responsibility as a member of con-
gress that it is solemnly alleged and
not denied and there is a widespread
and prevalent feeling throughout the
world that it is true that these terrible
crimes of rapine and pillage and devas-
tation, that these brutal atrocities and
that these monstrous murders of the
helpless Jews and Firms and Poles and
Armenians in Russia are secretly con-
nived at by the Russian government.
that they have been melted by the
ruling classes-the grand
dukes-and that they are instigated, di-
rectly oil indirectly, by high officials in
for religious and political pur-
poses.
RUSSIA cannot avoid the awful and
tremendous responsibility. hope
what we do here and what we say here
will reach the ears of the cringing ear
and his corrupt cabal of grand dukes.
| believe that our protest, our condem-
and our denunciation will be
in st. Petersburg and that the
government will see to it that
wholesale butchery of the inno-
cents is stopped"
Mr.. Sulzer closed with a tribute to
Roosevelt, especially for his
jealous and untiring efforts to anne
iorate the conditions of the oppressed
md prosecuted in Roumania, Turkey
Russia"
Representative Ralney of Illinois
ALREADY the blood of thousands of
Jews cries out for vengeance. The
line may be near ut hand when an in
'trument may be raised up TO execute
the men who are responsible for
hese inhuman b%utcheries the old doc
rine-an eye for an eye and u tooth
or n tooth.
May the indignant protest started
lere spread from city to city of this
,reat republic until the voice of so
100000 people is heard across the sea
II the camps of the Cossack soldiery of
russia and in the palaces of trembling
rand dukes" .
