Letters to Bristow and Curtis.

Wichita, KAN, Feb. 9.-Members of

pose the agreement.

wish to express through your paper,
their opinion OF the conduct Of the
McNamaras crimes in connection with
organized labor
notice that your editorial, In
recent issue, is distinctlvely in favor
81 organized labor, but filled til with
strong denunciation Of violence to en-
force demands. Your position is well
taken and approved Of by the Local,
but we wish to impress it on the
minds Of all our friends that we are
not willing to approve the Commission
Of crime or Violence, or the destruc-
ticn Of property in an attempt to
gain the victory in amy dispute or
controversy between capital and
labor AS you state yourself, the
rank and fle OF all labor organiza-
lions are peaeeable and law-abiding
and would not couinenance, or assist
In any wrong act to carry their point,
but they ought not to be implicated
in the crimes Of a few bad men who
Aad themselves an offices where they
can do wrong without detection from
the outside or among the craft as did
the McNamafas. In view Of these
facts, Local No. 1875 has passed
resolution denouncing their murder
GUS work and asking our friends to
have confidence in our aims to better
our condition In life, and at the same
time to do justice to capital, with
out which, our unions would be use
less. 1t is fact that the Lakeland
Local Is one Of the most tolerant in
the State, permitting its members to
do a great many acts that are pro-
hibited by the large majority Of
unions.
The McNamara's are now receiving
the reward of their own wrong con-
duct and they are not able to name
any one else who joined with them
in their criminal career, but If others
are found to be implicated, we hope
that justice swift and sure, may be
meted out to them; but we also ask
that judgment be suspended as to the
rank and file or the unions until we
shall have time to weed cut the few
criminals who have crept into our
rank with view 70 doing their dirty
work and then lay It ct the door o.
