Mexican, against whom grave charges
were pending, and whose specialties
seem to have been the finding" Of
dynamite and the persecution of Mex
lean refugees. =
3. The dynamite found" at Otis
was in a place where if it had. ex-
ploded it would have done no harm.
4. The stuff that was found by
the discreditec detective at Otis and
the secretary's was dynamite and the
same. kind of dynamite that the: de-
tective had previously found" in con-.
venient places. But the explosion at
the Times office was not an explosion
of dynamite. That fact can be de-
monstrated in five minutes to the.
complete satisfaction of any man NOT
insane with hatred of labor, and may
be accepted without hesitation as alb
solutely certain. What possible con-
nection, then, could the stuff found"
at Otis have with the explosion at
the Times office?
But the most .adroit and skilful.
use was made of the detectives dis,
coNery." 1t was sent all about the.
country by the associated press. and
cthec. agencies. Even periodicals and,
writer's usually friendly to labor were
imposed upon by it, Every union
hater in the country used it as con-
elusive evidence of the depravity Of
the union cause and the final reason
why labor everywhere should be at
the mercy of the employing class.
Week after week passed, and tie
desperate union men that committed

the army of detectives, the special
grand jury, the special prosecutor and
all the amateur sleuths that were
spurred on by the offer of the most
extraordinary; rewards. Three months
after the explosion the deadly; de-
PRAYED desperadoes remained unre-
vealed. But on the trail, of every Ia
Dor leader in Los Angeles and San
Francisco there were always .detec-
tives. Wherever these men went they
were dogged and spied upon:* every
moment there was shadow at their
elbows, listening. Their mail was
tampered with, and their offices~ were
visited. Whenever there came to Los
Angeles a writer or newspaper man
that it was thought might intend to
investigate the situation the sleuths
never left him.
'Shadowing Mr.. Russell.
One of the VISITORS an extremely
unimportant man, was honored with
the attentions of five of these sleuth-
ing gentlemen. From the time Of his
arrival in the town until he went
away they were most faithful and
assiduous in their observations. More
faithful indeed, than skilful:. since
the fact that this man was being fol-
lowed was apparent to others, and
commented upon, whereas 1 suppose
the true art. of shadowing to demand
that the work be above suspicion. But
the visitor made no move in Los
Angeles that escaped the scrutiny of
the cohort; one of them followed him
to the railroad station when he took
his departure, and Loyalty telephoned
tdoubtless to his employer) when the
unoffending stranger was safely on
the train. -.
I can testify to these facts with
some authority since was the per
son thus honcred.'
But who pays for all of this organ
lied espionage? Scores of other men
have been in the last three months
similarly watched, dogged and fol-
lowed about Los Angeles. These
luxuries cost money. Who supplies
all the money, and why?
I'VE will crush the labor unions
in Los Angeles first, and then we will
wipe them out in San Francisco"

And this is 1.-The way the thing is
being done.
