Unless Martial Law Is Declared,
Citizens viii Take Law Into
Own Hands, He Says.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-If the
fiery denunciations of "djsloyalty"
made by Judge MCGEE Of the Mime
sofa Public Safety commission be-
fore Senator Chamberlain's commit
tee last Saturday mean anything, they
! indicate that a very Serious situation
in the labor movement of Minnesota
must be faced by the A. F. of L. con-
vention when it meets in st. Paul on
the second Monday in June.
MCGEE says that either there must
be firing squads, created under mar
tial law, in Minnesota, to put down
sedition and disloyalty, or there is
danger that the citizens will take law
into their own hands, He denounces
not only the Socialists, but the Non
partisan league, the farmers organ
ization which last month met in joint
political convention with the delegates
of the trade unions of the state, and
nominated a state ticket to be voted
for in the primaries on June 10.
The A. F. of l.. convention will be in
St. Paul when those primaries are
held. Organized labor and the or
ganized farmers are making an at
tempt to carry the election in Min
nesota and MCGEE and the Public
Safety commission are hostile to
them. In nearly score of rural
counties the holding of any of their
political meetings has been forbidden.
In one instance speaker from the
/ United States Committee on Public
Information was refused permission
to come in and speak, on the ground
that application for permission was
made through the Nonpartisan
Eleague:e *.
!. ): "a CHASTITY Failure"
State authorities have become in
censed at the Endorsements given the
Nonpartisans and the trade unionists
by each of the spokesmen Of Presi=
dent Wilson who have visited Minne-
sofa in the past year, are now deter
mined to have their own way, re-
gardless. MCGEE said that the work
of the Department of Justice, so far
as Minnesota is concerned, had been
a "ghastly failure" Yet the Twin
Cities, in which the trade union move
ment has most heartily lined up with
the organized farmers, have had no
trouble with mobs or disorder.
The question arises-will the state
officials refuse to welcome the A. F..
of L. convention to st. Paul, as they
refused to welcome, and openly de-
nounced, the farmers who met with
the trade unionlsts to nominate their
state ticket for the June primaries?
Will they try to prevent the holding
Of the convention?
!, It may very easily happen that
President Wilson will take steps to
bring the state officials to a more
reasonable and civil frame Of mind.
He approves of the farmers move
ment, and his sympathy with the
labor struggle needs no re-statement.
