POOR OLD

A lot OF queer things have been
done in the much maligned state OF
Kansas during the last decade or
two, but the stunt recently pulled
of by Sheriff Webb Of Crawford
county really seems to take the cake,
The average sheriff doesn't find il
in the line of his duty to- let a prisoner
turn a balcony in front of.thes Jail into
a rostrum for an hour or so while he
abuses the governor Of the state and
denies the right of existence to one OF
the state courts.
But this is just what Sheriff Webb
allowed Mr.. Howat. head Of the Kan
sas miners union, to do. In fact
the sheriff acted rs 4 sort of master
of ceremonies for the whole affair
apparently. and gracefully accepted
the thanks of the crowd at the con
clusion.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, it is really not surprising that
the sheriff should be called upon to
make some sort Of an explanation.
1t would almost seem to be needed.

There is~a wrong being done the

organized labor. There is a wrong

least this is the opinion of the gen.
eral public, who have no direct inter-
est except a general interest in see

to all concerned.
Organized labor brands the railroad

They are out on strike and are do
ing their utmost to bring about q
general strike Of other organizations
in sympathy with their particular
grievances. They have defied the or
sanization Of which they area part.
They have refused to abide by their
agreements fairly and honestly enter
ed into. They have refused to obey
the orders Of those whom they elect
ed to office. Thus the 'ineEal' strike
Is bound to bring ~undeserved criti-
cisn upon organized labor in gener-
al before the bar of public opinion.
The public has a right to have it's
freight moved from place to place in
the regular course Of business, but
this Illegal strike has cyrtailed
many businesses. To certain points
the Grand Forks business mt.n can
not consign his merchandise. From
many points there is no assurance that
Grand Forks can obtain the materials
necessary for its usual progress. The
public, conducting its lezalized and
usual pursuits, is being wroneed by an
illegal strike. \
The railroad employers have a
right to expect hat union agreements
fairly n honestly entered into will
be fulfilled just as they expect their
other business contracts to be COM
pleted. But the OUTLAW strikers are
depriving them OF those rights with
the consequent injury hat follows.
Union labor, the public and the rail-
road employers are being wrongfully
injured iii their regular, legitimate
daily pursuits.
The hand of the asitator il plain
and the connecting link between the
agitator and the un-American force
which he represents will be discover
