Johnson was on his way to work when the four men approached him. Persons driving by saw the men knock Johnson down and beat him. When po lice arrived Jo&nson was dead.

But it is a brothenof the full blood to the Herrin slaughter, and was inspired by the same spirit. It is this kind ' of thing that is creating horror and suspicion of unionism in the public mind. Whenever a great strike occurs, this sort 5f thing ci'ops out, and it is rarely rebuked by union leaders. The unions in fact, are now preparing to defend :he Herrin assassins instead of joinmg in the efforts to have them punshed. We are hearing just now a great leal about union rights. Does unionsm also involve the right to murder? [s that part of its code and creed? If t does not, it is about time that the 'espectable elements of organized laior took aggressive measures to irove the contrary. "Let's go" seem? to be the slogan jur money goes Dy.
