Meyer as a Dictator

The known character of Mr. Meyer
does not command confidence. No
right minded man could have even
thought, much less spoken, his horri-
Bile accusations AGAINST the law-abid-
ing citizens of Calumet as wilful muir
derers of children. And the record of
the labor union df which Mr.. Meyer
is the head is such as to- INSPIRE the
gravest distrust in the minds OF law
abiding men everywhere.
II Mr.. Meyer sincerely desires the
welfare of the copper miners he will
quickly eliminate himself from sit
uation where IL is clear that he can
do no good. and leave those directly
concerned TO adjust their dispute
among themselves.
Apparently Mr.. Meyer prefers no.
toriety for himself and the continued
exhibition of his power to peace IN
