rs ORGANIZED LABOR eUILTYp

That the perpetrators of the dastardly and cow
ardy act of blowing up the Times building and the
killing Of something like three score men and women,
and manning for life many more in the city of Los
Angeles is the work of organized labor or the sympa
thizers thereof is a foregone conclusion, and, it is
hoped, that every person. who even previously knew
OF the diaboca conspiracy say nothing of the ones
who committed the act will be apprehended, convict
ed and sentenced to have every joint in their bodies
severed one by one and finally their feess carcasses
fed to the swine 1t is the most reprehensble crime
of the age and justice sunable to devise punishment
sufficiently to administer to the perpetrators
thereof When set of men for selfish ends will re-
sort to the wholesale slaughterng of their fellow men
and without warning, was the case in the blowing
up of the Times building in Los Angeles then they be-
come so badly beastlized we'll as brutalized that
they have no rights that the human family should re-
spect and human sympathy for such coWardly ours
would be like unto finding for the wild beast
of the junges that lay in wait for the unsuspectng
human victims.
1t has not been proven that either organized labor
OF the sympathizers of that institution committed the
diabolica act but suspicion points strongly in that d
rection For the past decade or more the owners of
the Times have been in life and death struggle with
organized labor and violent threats have been repeat
edly made by the reckless against the Times
and it therefore the of opinion that some
member or members of organized labor have turned

selected time to do when 1t would be able to kill
two birds with stone. First to destroy the Times
building and its plant the arch enemy of organized la
bor and thereby intmdate the propretors of the in
stitution in further opposing union labor Secondly
to kill as many of the employees of the Times poss
BILE as punishment for working the job and finally
to intmdate others from taking the places of the dead
men and women. If organized labor committed the
deed did so with the view of likewise teaching the
general public lesson to the effect that it would not
be safe for any to undertake to do bus
mess without employing union help and the rules for
conducting the business would be fixed by the exc
cutive council of organized labor and the business run
in the interest of the employees rather than in the in
terest of the employers
Every man should have the right to his money and
brains as he fit long it does not conflict, dis
commode or interfere with his fellow If GER
tain class of persons do not to work for such
son or concerns there should be law to compel them
to do So On the other hand if such persons con-
Germs do desire to employ union labor any specific
class of labor there should be law to compel them
to do So But above all things both capital and labor
should have an equal show before the law and the de-
nia of this right to either side should result in open
rebellion on the part of the other Private institutions
