The talk Hint some people are making, that II was the work of the unions. Is all lom-myrot. lom-myrot. "No union man, at least one In good standing, would do anything of the kind. To show that the accusation Is preposterous prepos-terous Is easily shown from the facts In the case. In the jlrst place, suppose that a union man had been worked up to such a piU'h that he would disobey the Instructions of his superiors, he tvould not have attempted such a job at so inopportune a lime. Why, If there had been any disposition on the part of the union lo attempt to put the work of the Utah hotel nut of commission, tho great steel girders and columns could havo been demolished while they were standing on the track in the local yards. The steel was on the sidetrack for sonic time and -It would havo been comparatively compara-tively easy to damage it so that. It could not have been used In the building. If ihe steel had been damaged at this" tlnio It would have taken the hotel company a long time to gel new steel from the factories fac-tories to take Its place." |
