nredation have been committed IN

district in the United States" a
statement by the Attorney Generals
staff said. "The efforts OF the per-
netrators are concentrated upon two
crds-destruction and intimidation.
The means to attain these ends are
almost indescribable. In fact one
must believe that anything suggest
ed to the imagination Of the vandals
or their conspirators is immedlatelS
put into effect.
"The. venom of the participants Ill
this strike has not ceased with ordl-
nary assaults, bombing, dynamltlng'
wrecking of trains, or minor depre-
dations, but has been in many m
stances satisfied only with the tax
ing Of human life" ~,

talities attributed to strike causes:

inconvenience of passengers strand.

enumerate the various assauits
which have been perpetrated. Whip
n;nps we're resoted to in practically
overv instance where strikers were
able to lay their hands upon those
whom the railroads have secured to
take their places. When they could
not be apprehended, stones were
thrown at them. Shots were fired

were indulged in. Earrings and fea.
therings are included in the list, and
in many cases"
