are no longer on trial.
 Organized Labor is summoned be- fore the greatest tribunal on earth. the greatest Democracy in all of his tory's annals, to purge itself of the last vestige of suspicion that as $ movement identified with human pro- gress it countenances the pitiless slaughter of American men who in the exercise of their own inaliepabie rights sought to dispose of their la- Dor in markets of their own choos- ing.
 The Farmer is a staunch supporter of the principle involved in the or ganization of toilers of whatever craft and readily accedes that through organization the state of the toiler has vastly improved with re- sultant benefit to society. The shorter work day, the better wage. the increased opportunity for study and recreation that has followed in the wake of successful agitation by the organized bodies, is for the com mon benefit of all. But these ben efits, great Nas they are, pale into in- significance beside a crime, such as this, which goes to the very dregs of our social system and which can neither be atoned nor forgotten.
 The acknowledged leaders of organ ized labor must not array themselves against the fullest inquiry into this whole miserable business. There should be no sulking in the manager policy. What is wanted now, and indeed the only thing that can even in part, atone for. the tragedy enact ed in that beautiful city of South ern California, is the fullest, freest and fairest inquiry Tor the purpose of fastening the guilt upon the real conspirators to the end that society may be safe-guarded against a repe- tition of such monstrous crime. And to attain this end should be the bounden duty of every toiler affiliat- ed with the organized body.
 If vicious leadership is responsible let in the light, that the truth may be known and the guilty brought to bay. If it should be shown that this crime was conceived entirely apart from the councils of the na- tional body and was done without their Knowledge the terrible suspi- cions that are now uppermost in the public mind will, fortunately for the cause, be dissipated. But in any event the course of organized labor Tn the premises is plain.
