There is nothing new in tho situa-
ton" said Mr. Munsey. we arc exert
Ing every possible effort 10 locate the
perpetrators Of the outrage. in coniunc-
tion with the local officers. Tho talk
that some people are making, that ii
was the work Of the unions Is all tom
myrot.
NO union man, at least one in good
standing, would do anything of the kind
To show that the accusation Is prepos-
ferrous Is easily shown from the facts
that a union man had been worked up
To such pitch that he would disobcy
the instructions Of his superIors. he
would not have attempted such a Job al
so inopportune time. Why, II there
had been any disposition on the part
Of the union to attempt To put the work
OF tho Utah hotel out Of commission the
great steel girders and columns could
have been demolished while they were
standing on the track in the local yards
The steel was on the sidctrack for some
time and 1T would have been compare
lively easy 10 damage IL that II could
not have been used in tho building IF
the steel had been damaged at this time
IL would have taken the hotel company q
long time To get new steel from the fac
tories TO take its place
