South ('iii'ulinii ftp worth League "It may be quite true that thl< paper has again and again shown Itself to eb as much an enemy of good citizenship, of honest and decent government, and of every effective effort lo secure fair play for working men or women, as any anarchist could show himself to be. llui that has nothing to do with the case. If the paper dynamited bad been a Socialist paper in Milwaukee, I should strive just as hard to bring to justice the wrongdoer as now when the paper dynamited happens lo be a capitalist paper in Los Angeles.""This is an honorable invitation expressed in an honorable way, and 1 shall certainly take advantage ot it. Mr. Ciompers -avs that the trades unionists only want a fair trial. That is all 1 wish. Let us find out who is guilty and who iy innocent. Now let me most earnestly ask Mr. Ciompers and those assocJated with him in the cause of labor that they in their turn, make if equally evident that they do not intend to stand by the men right or wrong, that they wish them to have an absolutely fair chance to prov* their innocence, but that they will join with every other citizen in I hearty condemnation of them and will endeavor to bring them to puiaish ni en t if they are guilty. No feeling of hostility to the Los Angeles Times must be allowed to interV-ro v\'i tli this. Roosevelt then quotes Ciompers' . invitation to read current trade union literature to secure first hand information of the labor union situation and says: "The attitude of Gen. Otis in his paper affords a curious instance of the anarchy of soul which comes to the man who in conscienceless fashion deities to the man who in the name of human right wars upon all ni eta of property, good and bad." "The article by Mr. Ciompers in the American Federatlonlst offers the most striking contrast, in tone and temper, to the article of Gen. Otis. Mr. Ciompers 'editorial is a lair and honorable statement of a position with which I only In part disagree, couched in language which warrants respectful and careful at- "(ien Otis in this article has taken the very position against which all good citizens should protest when taken by the labor men," continues Roosevelt. "That is, the purpose of my article was to protest against the assuming before the trial what it was hoped to prove or disprove at the trial; and in this way Gen. Otis is guilty of conduct which could not be too severely denounced when the offender is a violent opponent of organized labor and a consistent enemy of every movement for social and economic betterment just as he lias shown himself the consistent enemy of the men in California who have dared resolutely to staind agains corruption and in favor of honesty."
