Çck'e#*~'ck Editor, WILMET eL'a: The Chicago Tribune has evidently led your "phantom reporter" around by the nose and loaded' himn with some "phantom n ews," as it does so niany good citizens. Who 'do not have the op-' portunity to hear first hand reports. There is no authority, whatever-for the statenient that Leo. Krzycki, a man 'Who bas had honorable contractual re- lations witb the Chicago clothing nmanu- facturers for years, urged the Republic Stree strikers to walk out with their. women-folk in broad, daylight and take overý the ýRepublic steelplant. If there had been even a. shred of evidence to this.effect, Krzycki would now be jailed on a capital charge. But you see the S-tate' s Attorney..bas dropped ail niien- tion of. him. Eyewitniesses report that Krzycki told theni they had a right to picket on a pu~blic street. Mayor Kelly had also said so the day before. They marched~ out .with their wives and children to do so. and were met by police-who began shooting into flesh and blood ie- diately after the tear-gas, without wait- ing for the choking, fleeing -crowd to run away. No guns were found on strikers and no police were shot. Have you seen any picture in the Tribune tbat, shows strikers "battling"? No, because that wvas not the situation. Ail the pic- tures but one show the crowd with of the fleeing and béating up the pros- trate. Was 'it ýa crime for the strikers to seek to picket on tbe public street, May 30? Every day since then, group picket= ing bas been, allowed on that very street, and there bas.been-no trouble. But po -, lice ,killed nine. men and shot 90 for try- ing1 it May 30. A -first-aid driver loaded into bis car a man whose leg was spurtifig. blood and. tried to.get a tourniquet on it. TWO policemen jerked. him aWay. "ILet me take, him, he'1l die without-a tourniquet !" cried the good Sam aritan in h orror. The police swore. and. dragged himi off. Only fifty minutes later did tbey deliver .bim at the bospital-dead. Many doctors and, nurses have testified that police tried to, take sorely -wounded, patients out of the hospitals to jail, and tried to keep blood donors from corning in to save life. If. we taite any prf de inhot. côimuity we must dlean such beasts off the, force. People who read only the Tribune and News bave no way of knowing these facts. But tbe facts are bound to seep out in tume because the LaFollétte Corn- mittee bas subpoenaed aIl the movies of the whole affair, records that police (proud of doing their duty?) had tried to confiscate. -In- j ust-ice to, the nmen and womnen of ru . 1dent. who lias only Ilfi-turneci. iear gas is already billowiùg 50 there is no way of telling which came first-tbe rocks or it.
