Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Glass Worker, Vol. 4: Official Organ, June 1907 Considering the nature of the revelations that are being made, the kidnapping of Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone does not seem so surprising as It first appeared. These are high-handed criminals with whom we are dealing, men who have broken the laws In more than one direction before: this kidnaping business was only characteristic. The acquittal of the three accused men would mean a serious defeat of the capitalist class not only In Colorado and Idaho, but In the United States. Organized capital is facing organized labor, and the struggle Is a desperate one. The trust, and the political party, recognize the situation much better than the union man. The claim made by the prosecution. that U la not fighting unionism, is flimsy. If these men were common murderers, if they were not the officers of unions no such fight would be made. The employing class knows that there cannot b two masters In the Industrial field; that either it must rule the situation or that the union will eventually rule it, and with the Industrial field the political field also, for the two go together. If these men are convicted, unionism will receive a blow Intended to disable It. but what the result of that blow will be It Is too early to say.-San Jose (Cal.) Union Label. The Trail is on. After Over One Years Imprisonment the Trial Commences Against W. D. Haywood, at. al. The Jury to try Wm. D. Haywood, 8ec´y of the .Western Federation of Miners, for the murder of ex-Gov. Steunenberg was finally completed June 3. The following statement was made by Messrs. Darrow and Richardson, council for the defense, after the Jury was impaneled. "The Haywood Jury consists of nine farmers, on© real estate agent, one building contractor and one foreman of fence construction on a railroad. There Is no man on the Jury who works for wages or who has ever belonged to a labor organization. excepting Burns, who was a member of the carpenters´ union fourteen years ago. or who has ever been a student of trade unionism or the labor question. In tho two hundred odd Jurors drawn, not more than three trade unionists were placed In the panel, and these were excused for conscientious objections to capital punishment and fixed opinions. The Jurors drawn have been mainly farmers. Interspersed with a largo number of bankers and some business men. "The Jurors appear to be men of honest purposes, determined to give the defendant a fair trial, but It Is uniformly made up of a class to which none of the defendants has ever belonged, and which has no natural kinship to labor organizations. In addition to this, they are drawn from a small county, almost wholly agricultural. and each member for a year and a half has read little about the case except what has been contained In the Boise daily papers, and this has uniformly been hostile to the defendants. Nearly all of them admitted that they had formed opinions and Impressions from what they read. and. necessarily, these must have been against the defendant." The trial commenced June 4, Mr. Hawley, for tho prosecution, commenced his address to the Jury, saying that the prosecution expects to prove that the officers and executive committee of the Western Federation of Miners were responsible. not only for the death of Steunenberg. but scores of others. He briefly went over the events Immediately preceding the* death of ex-Gov. Steunenberg and described the tatter´s assassination and the arrest of Orchard. He said he would prove that the Western´Federation of Miners "left a trail of blood-traded In blood, hired paid assassins. and collected huge sums of money which they used and squandered to carry out the objects of the few men of the &apo
