GUNMEN.-The Tribune has evil.
IDENTIFY started out on a crusade
against labor" gunner. I suggest
that if the TTib really wants to get
at the root of the Chicago gunman.
evil it begin with an investigation Of
the training and hiring Of gunmen by,
the publishers trust of Chicago.
Much valuable material might be.
gained by inqUiTing into the hiring.
of ex-cOnVicts by the publishers
trust during the lockout and strike
of 1912, when desperadOes with,
criminal records were hired by the
publishers, sworn in as deputy pO-i
licemen and sheTiffs, and turHeds
loose on union newsbOys and other
WoTkmen. And to go even back OF
that, there might be an investigations
of the hiring Of husky Chicago boys
as sluggers IN the circulation war Of
the trust newspapers.
An investigation of the vicious
murder of Conductor Witt and
Teamster HEIR by criminal gunmen
IN the employ Of the Chicago news
paper trust, and the defense of -tI8
murderers of Conductor Witt by the
attorney of the publishers assOCia-
ton, might throw additional light on
this interesting problem.
The plain truth is that the high
toned publishers of some Of Chi
cago's greatest newspapers resorted
to the same tactics to curb uniOnisn,
in Chicago that ROckefelG's hell
hounds resOrted to for the same pJIrS
pose in Colorado.
And the Tribune was in the game
with the other publishers. ~

POLICE LAWLEssNEss.-some
of the policemen appear to have an
exaggerated notion of their author
ity. The Tribune quotes police Off
GERS as saying they will have police
men attend meetings of the painters
union hereafter. Now the police have
about as much right to attend a
meeting of a labor union as they
have to butt into a meeting of Ma
sonic lodge or the Knights Of Co
lUmbUs.
It's about time somebody were get
ting out a book for policemen ex=
planning plainly to them just what
their rights and duties are. They tell
the press they will bring in certain
people and question them. Probably
nobody can stop the police from ask
ing questions, but every citizen has a
perfect right to refuse to answer
them.
Courts may compel individuals to
answer proper persons or punish
them for refusing to answer. But
no policeman has any right to punish
anybody for refusing to answer ques-
tions; and no police officer has a
right to send for individuals for the
purpose of asking questions
Now is a good time for the courts
to make the police mind their own
business and quit setting themselves
up as courts of law and usurPing the
functions of courts created by the
people for particular purposes
The third degree is absolutely IL
legal too. The only trouble about 4
The day book., 1915-08-23

is that the victim is at the mercy Of
the police, and the might of the pO-
lice makes right in their eyes.
It seems as if the very officers Of
the law itself are among Civilizations
most dangerous law ViolatOrs.
There are too many police officers
who think THEY are the law and the
gospel

Of many prison reforms that have
been popularity regarded as Mr. Os-

address at the home of Adolph Levi

ruption existing in Sing Sing before his
assumption Of the office OF warden.
Superintendent Riley became incensed
when he read report OF the speech

and shortly afterwsrd issued the state
