DEFENDANTS NSEL
Doesn't you Honor think it is some
what severe, under the circum
stances?
THE COURT: No, l think thi
man ought to be driven out of thi
community. If I had the power
would have him sent out of tn
country. I think he is an anarchist
| DEFENDANTS NSEL
He is an American citizen.
THE COURT: I think he is
menace to our institutions and GU
government. l think all these strik
ers. who use violence and emplo,
violence and have no respect for tn
injunction issued by supreme cour
judge, are a menace to this com
munity. I think they are under
mining and sapping the respect an
regard for judges and our tribunals
They have no regard for law an
order. They have no respect TO
judges, They have no respect TO
the mandate Of court. They don
know what it all means. They ar
anarchists, they are Bolsheviks an
Communists and a real menace t
this country, and personally I think
in every case where possible. the
