WOODS CASE.

VIM. W. Mood. president Of the
American Wooden Mills. has been ar.
rested on n charge OF conspiring to
place dynamite in or near the homes
OF certain strike leaders In order 10
discredit the Lawrence strikers. While
Woods side OF the case has not been
heard. the fact that an Indictment has
been returned against n man OF such
position. must cause n shock of
amazement II Wood is guilty he il
little. n any better than the Nc
Namaras. True. the evidence does
not show the intent TO destroy life
and property. but II does show du-
plicity and vicious criminality OF the
most dangerous kind. Wood is a
man of great ability. He commands
large means. He did not have the
temptation 10 commit crime that men
struggling for their very existence
would have. II is not hard TO believe
that an employer. VINO would resort
To such methods to discredit his strik.
Ing employees. would push TO the last
limit any advantage that he might
gain over his wage es.ners. The duty
of fairness and OF common honesty
weighs more heavily upon the en-.
ployer Of labor than upon any other
man.
II is to be hoped that Wood will be
able to prove HIS innocence. Our in
dustrial and commercial system has
suffered enough from Grim .nality in
high places. and the unscrupulous de-
sire To gain a victory regardless Of
costs The Mcnamara AFFAIR has
shown that some labor leaders were
not strong enough To resist the temp
tatton TO win by any means. and that
crimes against life and property did
not stop their hands. Wood, as a
prominent employer. may be an
equally vicious example in the cd
rioying class. The relations between
employer and employee. and the peace
ful and orderly progress OF Industry.
are not improved by discoveries that
men who hold high places and great
power are unworthy OF them.

In December. 1911. Mr. Roosevelt
