People indifferent as, to Slay.
ing Of Men Who Dare to
Stand Out for justice.

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 9.-The
public is indifferent to the killing. Of
workers who dare to stand for JUS
tice, says the Amalgamated journal,
in reviewing recent outrages on
workers in West Virginia, Ohio and
Kentucky. The Journal Is the official
magazine Of the Amalgamated AS
sociation Of Iron. Steel and Tin
Workers.
''The tragic scenes that are taking
place in Americas industrial centers.
such as have been enacted in New
port, KY, and Yorkville, Ohio, dur
ing the past two weeks, and which
have been transpiring in Mingo coun-
ty, West Virginia, tor the past year,
proves conclusively that Ap,erica to-
day is heartless toward workers who
have the spirit to stand out collec-
lively against unjust and oppressive
employers.
1.-THE American public today wor-
ships money. The justice Of any con-
test between corporation and it's
employees is given scant considera-
ton. The American public Of today
is pharasaic. 1t permits workers to
ebe killed --indiscrininateiy without
protest. The American public is up
townsd caring not who is shot. nor
whose property is riddled with bull
lets from machine guns.

from killing both measures with one
blow at it's meeting today.
The committee agreed to postpone
action until its next meeting to-. en-
able Senator Holland s. Duell, the
sponsor of the bill in the upper
house of the Legislature. to draw up
several amendments which he said
he wished to submit. The proposed
amendments are regarded here as an
effort by the senator to justify his
action in sponsoring tho bill.
