a
few weeks ago justified the murder of
young Greek who was filing his din
ner bucket full of coal belonging to one
OF the mining companies of the camp,
on the grounds that, being thief, the
young man deserved to be killed, is
changing its story.
That camp newspaper first stated that
the young Greek was running and hay.
ing refused TO halt when commanded 10
do so by the special officer, he was fatal
! ~ shot.
The outrage having been almost uni
versally condemned, owing TO the fact
that the Greek was running away from
the officer, The story is now set I'D that
he was resisting the officer. We are
reliably Informed this was not at all
he case.
The shooting was in the early morn.
ing, as the men were going from the 4
clock shift, There was no resistance,
and resistance was not set up as a plea
until the public became aware of the
outrage.
1t is not now believed that the spe-
clal officer who murdered the Young
fellow Will 90 into court with such q
defense.
IT was a clear case Of cowardly Of
liciousuess. And when the Press-B Bull
letin declared that the Greek ought to-
be shot and that every other offender
against the law ought 10 be shot, that
newspaper brought down upon il
storm of protest that will not be for
| gotten Tor many u day.
The argument that is now being made
by the Press Bulletin IS that Greeks arc
taking the Jobs of American worklnen:
that they save their money and send
IL 10 their poor kindred on the Mediter-
| ranean. and that this class of laborcIs
! IS becoming menace.
| Possibly it is true that the Greeks
encroach upon the field of the Amcri.
can laborer. But who encourages Greek
! immi grafton! Who gives the Greeks
employment DID tho Young man who
was murdered in Bingham CANYON Il
few weeks ago force his labor on the
company whose special officer the des-
/ pcsble Press Bulletin now assumes TO
champion.
The fact of the matter is Editor
Holman Is running rattle-brained
sheet that Is constantly agitating
against the working meu of that camp
and provoking n conflict of sentiment
between laborerS and their EMPLOYERS
that j. unnecessary and IN justified. uol-
man holds a tirabrand while preaching
obedience 10 the law. He is doing the
very things which. if continued. viii bs
