ROR IND DYNi MITERS

The labor union leaders are making
great mistake in identifying organized
labor SO completely as they are with the
defence Of the McNamaras, the alleged
California dynamiters. To raise funds
for their defence Is well enough but to
prejudge the case and proclaim them to
be victims Of capitalism" is likely to
prejudice the cause Of unionism itself
Organized labor as a result Of this policy
will be placed before the public as respon-
sible for whatever acts may be proved
against the McNamaras. The passion
ate espousal Of the cause If men accused
Of such monstrous crimes as the Nc
Namaras are produces bad impression
VIII the labor leaders never express
horror of such crimes of violence and
the desire TO have the guilty. even If they
are unionists punished? Only by such
course will they convince the public that
they do not condone violeace or secretly
regard force as indispensable in labors
war"
Their present course is full of peril.
wv OliN hOtS IL lllt IIlIldl
Of right minded men, whose favorable
regard would be Of immense value TO
labor, but II tends to breed violence and
TO involve the cause Of labor with the use
Of dynamite. If any hot head who
chooses to blow up buildings and destroy
his fellow men may be sure Of being pro-
claimed hero and a martyr by the whole
body of organized labor there will not
be lacking outrages like those Of which
tie McNamaras are alleged TO be guilty
1t is no wonder that the public reads
frequently Of explosions where all the
circumstances point to the responsibility
of labor unionists. If labor unionist
who does these things is caught he NAV
he sure TO have the hosts of organized
labor, led by its unwise leaders be-
having Historically over him and raising
million" for his defence where few
thousands would he sufficient That is
incitement enough to the use Of dynamite
for many crackbrained fellow.
Sooner or later, unless the labor organ
izations sternly repress violence and aid
the public authorities In bringing the
guilty TO punishment violence will de-
stroy the usefulness Of the labor organ
izations. The employment Of dynamite
il labor disputes is a growing practice.
Sundays blowing up Of the American
Bridge Company's property In this city
is case in point. Where will the prac-
tice stop if the labor unionists make
every alleged dynamiter their hero? And
how long will 1t be before public opinion
holds organized labor to It's respon-
slbility?

happy cur on the streets becomes half
frantic in It's efforts to escape the perse-

that 32G cases Of rabies have been found
this year proves the folly of denying It's
existence. the fact that these were only

cases is eloquent Of the degree to which
fear or prejudice exaggerates the preva-

IL is well known that the prevalence or

MIIRPHY'S l

MURPHY'S LEGISLATURE AGAIN.
The programme outlined by Murphy to
his followers in the Legislature, which
will reConvene tonight, is very simple.

craving for official power and absolute

pretty close to representing the wishes

NOW THE CROTON WATERSHED.
Otherwise Color and Taste Of City 5
Water Will Be Affected.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Many hundred acres i'm the Croton
reservoir system have been dry this sum-
mer. and are now covered with grass and
weeds about three feet high and running
more than a ton to the acre. When the
reservoirs are again filed these hundreds
of tons Of weeds will rot and the prod
ucts will give some taste and discoloration
10 the drinking water Of New York, prop
ably enough to be unpleasant, though per
haps not containing germs Of disease.
The growth is upon farm land which
has been moved and can be moved again.
and at this season men and teams ana
moving machines can be hired. Is II not
worth while to prevent these impurities
from getting into the drinking water While
there Is yet time?
Before the late rain the writer made thls
suggestion to the proper authorities, and
since the rain he has again visited the res
ervoirs at Titicus, cross River, Amawalk
and the series which extends for some fif-
teen miles along the Croton River. Inc
first two and the last still show very little
rise of water and a great eXpanse or weedy
bottoms.
This question Of vegetable growth unoer
drinking water was considered so important
that the Massachusetts Water Board went
to the great expense of stripping the ground
of the reservoirs down to the hard pan.
This was known TO the eminent engineers
who were consulted when the New YORK
reservoirs were built. and they decided NOT
to incur this expense, and very probably
they were wise in their decision. But it
may seem to the engineers now In charge
worth while TO remedy as far az possible
this defect OF the New York reservoirs by
getting rid of the vegetable growth.
