Most of those killed were crushed to

The scene where the crowd from the

expected from a public officer who is
receiving salary on the assumption
that he is giving such protection to

charged on the floor of the senate with

masses even such inadequate safe
guards as they now enjoy, while at the
same time giving the corporate inter
ests the right to merge and do other
things that the Sherman law has for
hidden them from doing.
