EDITORIAL OPINION

union men. On some it is claimed
were found cards of a Chicago secret
service organization, and it is al
legged these were subjected to tor
ture before they died. But murder
is murder. and whatever the afil;a-
tion of these men, to take their lives
by violence is a staggering crime.
It is bad for the union that many
among its number took part in the
killing. So also is it an unfortunate
coincidence that the attack occurred
just after the receipt of a message
from President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers of America stating
that Representatives of our organi-
cation are justified in treating this
crowd as an outlaw organization and
In viewing its members in the same
light as they would view any other
common strikebreakers."
To impute to Mr.. Lewis a wish to
lncite to violence is unwarranted.
But his message, notable as much
for what Il does not say as for what
1t says. was singularly unhappy. The
antipathy of the striker toward the
strikebreaker is notorious, and the
strikers could only be infiamed by the
Lewis message.
Violence will not advance the
cause OF either side; nor will a
slaughter of strikebreakers by strik-
ers help unionism. Pending inter-
ventiou nv tho erovarnr,eyt % io 4ba
clear duty of Mr. Lewis to leave no
doubt that he emphatically opposes
violence and will not tolerate 1t.

The Wilson Assassination
CFrom the New York Tribune)

The good news comes from Ire
land that the cowardly assassination
of Marshal Wilson is as much exc
Grated to the south of the Ulster line
as to the north Of it. This condem-
nation of these infamous gunner,
indicative as It is of the great change
of spirit which has come over Ire
land, seems spontaneously universal.
The murderers perhaps thought that
some day, even though caught and
punished. monuments would be rails
ed in their honor. The only memoir

would lift is a gibbet.
Since the election in southern Ire
land went heavily against him De
Valera has been endeavoring in
covert ways TO incite new disorders.
He has not ceased TO appeal to irrec-
oncilables, who. in their wild willful-
ness, care as little for Irish opin-

charitable to assume that he did not
have any particular crime in mind.

The Coal Mine Butchery
(From the New York Herald.)

The eyes of this country are
centered upon Southern Illinois.
One reason is that one of our
great States, one of those States in
which the traditions of order and
honor and power of law should be
of the strongest. remained supine in
a critical and tragic hour.
A second reason is that the right
of every man to work-a right as
sacred as every mans right to quit
working-has been stamped on in
the bloody mud OF the mining field.
But the deepest reason of all is
the horrible nature OF the crime, the
revelation Of the brutality OF which
the human race is still capable.
It is useless to turn back to the
records of the riots of Chicago or
East st. Louis or Omaha for
parallel TO what happened at Herrin,
Red as those pages were, we find
in them at least the slight excuse
of conflict.
The affair at Herrin was a mas
sacre, done not merely with DELHI
Grafton but with hideous pleasure.
There is nothing in the history of
the United States TO compare with
the savagery of the mob that turned
the surrendered strikebreakers loose
only to shoot them down: that cut
their Threats as they lay wounded;
that cursed them as they were dying
in the hospitals; that killed women
and babies, and that brought the
children into the morgue to take a
look, kid, at what your father did"

The Phoenix Park murders put

Not even the massacre at Fort
Pillow, the darkest chapter in the
story of the civil war, can match the
details of the Illinois horror.
1T was just the old story of a
mob getting started" one of the
union miners explained. What start
ed it7 Was It the telegram from
President John L Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers, in which he
declared that Representatives of
our organization are justified in
treating this crowd (the strikebreak-
ers) as an outlaw organization and
light as they would view any other
common strikebreakers?
No attack on the mine occurred
until Lewiss telegram was received
by the local union. But surely
Lewis did not mean that the men he
so advised should plunge into the
worst orgy of lynching that this
country has seen. True, there was
not a word in his telegram advis-
ing the keeping of the peace, but
