lies in an effort to prejudice public
opinion against these noble men who
were as Innocent Of the crime charg
Cd against them ~ was Jesus Christ
of the charge Of sedition for which
he was crucified. At this stage OF the
game, Fred D.. Warren conceived the
idea Of giving the people striking
object lesson. The so-called supreme
court Of the United States had, with
the exception of one member whose
heart was where 1t should be, held
that the colludlng =, officers OF the
states Of Colorado and Idaho had COM
mited no crime against tho United
States In forctbly abducting these
three working men from their homes,
without even the pretense of pre-
liminary hearing in their home state
before being removed to foreign
state for trial. Fred D. Warren be-
lieyed that II they had been powerful
capitalists and had been kidnapped
by working men, the opinion OF the
United States supreme court would
have been different. He was con-
vinced, as about million others OF
us are, that our laws are interpreted
one way for the rich and another way
for the poor With the purpose OF
testing this conviction out. be ha'

Union Drivers Enlist Customers
Sympathy

Striking milk wagon drivers In
Boston remained firm yesterday In
their demand for increased pay and a
better arrangement for helpers and
new men, with the result that many
milk consumers. hotels, restaurants,
and steamship companies did not re-
ceive their usual supply of milk until
after the business of the morning had
started. In some sections there were
not enough men to take the place OF
the striking drivers.
After a midnight meeting of the
striking union drivers Monday night,
efforts were made to persuade the
strike.breakers TO leave their wagons.
The officers of the companies refuse
to recognize the union In the manner
demanded and say that the terms Of
the proposed agreement are one-sid'
