fresh in the minds of the people.
The word dynamite spells an
other word McNamara.
The same newspapers that
have told freely of the finding of
dynamite in the possession of the
strikers have suppressed the de-
tails of the finding of that dyna-
mite. They have omitted to pub
lish the comments on the cases of
open-minded public officials.
Eight Syrians, seven men and
one woman, were arrested charg-
ed with having had dynamite in
their possession. The news was
spread. broadcast over the land.
The Syrians were brought be-
fore Judge Mahoney. In contin-
uing the case, Judge Mahoney
said:
ct is an unusual course for me
to comment on a criminal case,
but there are indications to show
that the men and women arrested
are innocent victims of a plot, and
the dupes of some persons inter
ested in maintaining a reign of
terror in this city"
The newspapers that thought
the finding of the dynamite in the
possession of the strikers was
news of gerat Importance to their
readers, did not think Judge Ma
honey's extraordinary comment
from the bench of any import
ance. They did not publish it.
Fred Flynn, of the state police,
found dynamite in the little cob
bler's shop of Urbano Di Prato,

perior in the state police, took
charge of the case. After thor
ough investigation, extending
over some days, Proctor made the
following public statement:
"The' strikers had nothing to
do with the dynamite. 1t was not.
difficult to trace the explosive.
But it is difficult to get evidence
that will convict"
The newspapers that had told
of the finding of the dynamite in
Di Prato's shop, did not tell of the
result of Captain Proctor's inves-
tigation, of his clearing of the
strikers.
Are the newspapers of the
United tSates in a conspiracy
with the Wool Trust to discredit
the textile workers of Lawrence,
to brand these workers as dyna-
miters, as McNamaras, to spread
abroad the impression that all
working people believe in the use
of dynamite.
What other conclusion can one
draw from the publication of the
SANDER, and the suppression of
the vindication of the strikers?
The Day Book sent its special
correspondent, Marlen E. Pew,
to Lawrence to ascertain the facts
in the most recent of the alleged
dynamite conspiracies," the Di
Prato case. Here is his story:
