:" CRIME Of
CENTURY"

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. Is, 1911.-To
the Trade Unionists of North America
and their Friends and sympathizers:
Greeting: The conference of execu-
tive officers of the international trade |
unions with headquarters in Indian
apolis, assembled this day, takes this
opportunity to express its condemna-
ton of crime and violence, whether
developing in trade unions, in COM
mercial enterprises, or in the conduct |
of daily newspapers. There can be no
distinction as to quality Of partici-
pants in crime, no palllation Of crime,
no excuse for crime; and the present
enlargement on particular crime
committed by member Of trade
union, one among the millions Of or
gained wage earners, or by an officer
of trade union, smacks much of an
attempt to cover up crime in other
quarters and to enlarge the opportunity
for criminals in high places, and this
effort is by the interests that are sus-
pected of controlling the utterances of
supposedly public mouthpieces' and
molders of public opinion.
Had Full Confidence,
We, the international officers located
in Indianapolis, believed that John J..
Mcnamara was the victim of as foul
conspiracy as was ever Matched. That
belief was fostered, nurtured and grew
into conviction largely because of che
manner in which Mcnamara was spir.
tied from Indianapolis and hurried to
a distant city, supposedly to organ.
lied labor. In order that Mcnamara
might be rushed from the city Of his
residence, private detectives, the Iii
dianapolis police department, judge
of its police court, the mayor Of the
city and the governor of the state, all
lent their aid in violation of law. Thus
was crime perpetrated by those who
ostensibly sought to punish crime, and
s thus was our belief in conspiracy
justified by the representatives Of tht
law andn those who acted with them.
