and conclusive and the attorneys for

others who are uader arrest.
Some Of the discriminating CUCu.

rested: the others were taken from
the safe Of the jill, which II was nee.
essary TO force open. The back Of the
safe was cut out with a cold chisel

were at once set to work rendering
into English the incendiary matters
contained in them, and the authOri.
ties were astonished to find out hon

documents, the editorial utteranCes of
the jill will be used as evidence
against the strike leaders and the edi

lawyers claim, for the situation as II
