THE WHY OF VIOLENCE.

 Dor papers by the way;
 "Cleveland - About four hund- red strikebrea kers, returning west from New York where they have been herded in the event of a rail- road strike, broke loose in tree-for all fight when their train reached this city. It is stated that riot be- gan because of a feud between the St. Louis and Chicago free and ln- dependents". Every window in the two coaches was shattered by bull ets and the tracks were strewn with reyolvers, knives and black Jacks discarded by the thugs when the train stopped and it was charged by police reserves.
 One man was shot and killed and his body thrown from the moving train to the tracks where the wheels dismembered him; a second, shot on the side. was carried from the tram dying: two men, one of them suffer ing from a serious wound, were cap tured and charged with murder; an other. so badly injured that he had 10 be placed ill a guard in the hos pjtal, was charged with shooting to Lill. q sixth was stabbed so that he ia in a serious condition. and ten others more or less wounded were thrown into cells at the police head quarters
 Those men concerning whom the the dispatch above reprinted was written. were to be used in crushing a labor strike. They are used eE- pressly fer that purpose and relFe, sent the social scum from the lowest sections of the clties.
 In q statement recently issued bN the Industrial Relations Comnittee Mr. West says of the strikebreakers
 .'Waddell the most experienced member of the firm of Bcrghoii Bros. and Waddell, admitted to Nil Chenery and to me that he has nc uraiudice against eX-convicts. Bu' on the contrary finds many Of then particularly valuable for the work il hand.
 The firms attorney while attempt ing to secure the release of thlrt! strike-breakers who had been jailed by Sheriff Kinhead, protested to th' authorities of Hudson county tha it was unreasonable to ask the trn to nut up bail for these men. In m. presence he said to the under sherli and the prosecuting attorney -'These men are a lot of irrespons ;ble thugs. My clients could no be responsible for their movements In 24. hours they would have disap peared and we would have to forfei their ball..
 Waddell told us he could raise al army of ten thousand i'll twenty four hours, all armed men. He sal that many of them were ex-soldler who loved adventure and were will ing to quit their jobs in the hop of finding it as strikebreakers. "A a matter of fact most of them ar recruited from the scum and dreg of the cities. Ex-convicts are pre- ferred because they can be reiie upon to do the dirty work withou souealing". The agency employin them shares their secret, and is abl 10 use this knowledge to contre them like slaves. The agency Ina something on them and they ca turn them up if they do not pei form satisfactorily.
 That is competent testimony frol .the-head of the greatest strike brel ing agency in the world. That competent testimony from the fir that supplied men in Calumet an Bavonne, in Colorado and a doze other places where strikes occurre great and small. And in all thos places violence occurred. The me were prepared for that; they wei armed for that that was their fun tion and when the violence alo o cur. the entire capitalist pre- rose on it's hind les and howled against u iisorderly conduct of the striker and the necessity existed for enfor ing law and order.
 But this testimony from Wadde and this Cleveland press dispat' which we have reprinted, gives u truth away The capitalist howl f' law and order is only myth. Th' want the strike suppressed and th' don't care whoop in what mann it is effected.
