are calculated to cast the suspicion OF
the jury and the spectators upon his

is solid foundation for the innuendo

Billy's break was a mistake. He had

He ought 10 have known precisely

a1TEAux AND THE DYNAMITE PLOT,


The case against AtseauX seems 20
have been fairly made. The involve

can Wooden Company, as party 20
the scheme Of planting dynamite n
order to make il appear that The striH-
ing employes were prepared TO wreck
the mills and the city Of Lawrence is
established by mis- signature on checks.
1t appears 10 be certain That con-
spiracy N which dynamite was con-
cealed and planted was part OF the
methods Of dealing with the strike az
Lawrence.
This was one Of those strikes which
more than others deserve the term
starvation strikes The strikers we're
foreigners who had been brought in to
supply the places Of Americans Who
had been starred out al the wage
scales in force They came TO a SINH
lar pass of inability TO make -heir
wages cover their skins and fill their
s,omachs. Stirred by agitators Of the
Hayward type they struck. No doubt
they were ignorant and ugly but the
high class writer's who visited Law
renee during the trouble agree that
theirs was a justified strike from their
own point Of view and that they re-
ceived little or no consideration from
the authorities.
1t is time these matters we're dealt
with in the interests II the general
good. Intelligent men Who viii con-
spire to plant dynamite as one % the
methods Of BREAKING a strike on the
one side and ignorant men who only
know that their necessities impel them
toward demand reasonable or un-ea-
sonable and Of whom half or more can
not speak English are NOT safe persons
to entrust with settlement OF questions
bearing upon rhe common welfare Of
the country as do strikes and uprising
of that character. It IS not 70 the gen

brutal ignorance slal nght out tne.T

should be sent to prison for conspir-

Considerable discussion has been
heard on the street and in stores and

the old fashioned camp meeting en- :
dorsenent was expressed by shouting
amen" or "Hallelujeh' or something
stronger. 1t has yet to be demon :
strated why it is any more objectional
to show approval with the hands than
it is by mouth. 1t Is largely IN the
spirit in which II is done. We have
heard men shout Amen when IT
