are worked out there. Knowing
the country as I do , I would like
to ask what connection have the
capitalists with the police in this
afl'air ? And before I consider the
signification of this Jclaho trial it
would perhaps not be out of place
to > tate some facts , and the proof
thereof , concerning the American
police and detective force.
The American police and detec
tive force is the most corrupt and
unscrupulous in the world. They
will stop vat nothing to fasten
crimes upon in-'n , if they are paid
to do s ) . And the American po
lice employ method 5 of torture to
extract confessions from prison
ers.
Here is a thing that occurred
not very long ago. A certain man
in New York was \vitners in a
case against the police , and that
man was waylaid by the police ,
taken into a cell , and clubbed till
he was fatally injured. He was
then turned out to die in the street.
I won't name the case , but any
American newspaper man will
know the case I mean. The po
lice were unable to find the per
petrator of a series of murders , so
they fastened them on tea man
who , in the end , turned out to be
innocent. American newspaper
men will also remember this case.
They will remember the way the
police wove the chain of false evi
dence around the unfortunate
man , with the object of showing
that they were smarter than the
London police in the detection of
the one guilty of a certain class of
murder.
LEXOW INVESTIGATION ,
I was present at the trial of the
New York police that was brought
about by the Lexow committee. I
was in court when Goff was cross-
xamining the police captains. At
this trial it was proved that the
New York police were guilty of
beating and cruelly using citizens ,
and of universal blackmail , and of
executing secret-"vengeance upon
those who offended them. I heard
Harry Hill give evidence a man
whom the police had ruined be
cause he would not submit to their
blackmail. In a word , the police
were proved to be a vast criminal
organization a sinister , dreadful
ifrafia , to which the Mafia of Italy
is as nothing.
For this New York police was
a Mafia clothed in the righteous
garments of justice and legality
a Mafia that had its roots in one of
the most abominable political
organizations the world has ever
known Tammany hall.
I make no overstatement against
the New York police force. The \
The facts are on record in the
American press.
Kecent events have shown no
improvement in the character j
generally of the American police , !
and they are tarred with the same
brush from New York to San
Francisco , and from New Orleans
to Seattle.
When I was in San Francisco
a man shot a policeman dead not
far from the Tivoli opera house. J
The evidence against him was j
strong and clear enough to con- j
vic-.t , but the police had been act-1
ing towards the citizen in so hard ;
and so arbitrary a manner that the
jury let him oif. The general. :
feeling was that the man should
be rewarded rather than punished.
I do not assert that our English
police are spotless. They are not.
Iliey need a very sharp looking
ifter indeed. In fact , the police
irade is a trade that corrupts men.
But the American police are. the <
tforst police in the world. j <
I wouldn't hang a dog on their j
jvidence. I wouldn't hang a dog j
m any evidence that came out of
i confession they had extracted
: roni a prisoner , for they extract
confessions from prisoners by tor
ture. This they admit themsel ves.
They ha * , e a form of torture known
as the third degree.
TRIAL IN IDAHO.
*
Let us comejo the trial in Idaho.
These crimes have been com
mitted , these assassinations have
taken place.
It is not for me to build theor
ies as to who committed them. It
is only for me to explain why
they have been committed.
The explanation is simple. They
have been committed in obedience
to the most ruthless rnd terrible
of all the laws made by man the
law that says "An eye for an eye ,
and a tooth for a tooth ! "
The men of capital in America
treat men of their own race who
labor with the hands in a way un
paralleled even in the history of
commercialism. They treat them
in a cruel and brutal and inhuman
way , and the law upholds these
men of capital. The law even al
lows the men ot capital to instigate'
deliberate murder.
You want a case in point ? Here
it is :
At Homestead the men of capi
tal hired a band of bravos , who
shot down workiugmen on a strike.
I mean they hired Jftnkerton de
tectives. These detectives did not
belong to the state. They were
simply a band of men who hired
themselves out to the capitalists.
They wore no soldiers' coats ; they
were not policemen ; they were
not even regularized detectives
just ordinary , private , unoilicial
men , who hired themselves out to
do murder if required.
And they slew men for pay at
Homestead.
Were the men of papital , who
paid these men to assassinate
workers , punished ? No !
Were they ever brought to
trial ? No !
I will tell you something furth
er. A man tried to shoot one of
these men of capital , and a soldier
hearing of "it , expressed satisfac
tion. And what do you think
happened to the soldier ? His
major had him tortured. He had
him strung up by the thumbs.
I was in A.mcrica at the time.
15ELIEYES DEVOLUTION NEAR.
For they that use the sword
shall perish by the sword !
There is no going behind these
dread words , if you maltreat and
slay , so shall you or yours be
maltreated and slain.
Capitalists have committed , and
are committing , dreadful crimes
upon American workmen. And
the dues are beginning to be ex
tracted from them. They are
about to reap the whirlwind.
This trial in Idaho is the be
ginning of a dread epoch in the
United States. It is the begin
ning of the labor revolution. The
Dlack and sinister crimes that have
resulted in this dramatic trial and
the results of the black and sinis
ter crimes of the capitalist's.
The hideous fire of revolution
tvill arise in the west and sweep to
; he Atlantic coast. It will devas
tate the whole of America ,
In fa't , so bold have the capi
talists become that tl ey are defy
ing openly the powers of law and
> rder the powers that would
itand between them and destruc-
, ion.
ion.They
They even defy the head of the
itate. They defy president Koose-
relt the , -best president that
America ever had.
This man well knows the danger
hat is threatening. He has the
lear eyes of one who is disinter-
: sted. He sees that the capital-
sts class in America has gone
aad. He sees that they are de-
tro.ying their country.
No class can rule permanently
rithout regard for the feelings
nd the interest of the people
tiled. It has never been so at
ny time in any part of the world.
The capitalist class rules in
America. And it rules without
are or thought of the people un-
er it.
It will go.
But the horror of it is that it
'ill carry the whole social fabric1
nth it. !
