members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, on trial in this city
on the charge of criminal syndical
ism, were found guilty late yester
day. after the jury had been out 36
hours. The verdict, however, con

court that the I. W. W. organiza
tion had been placed on trial, rather
than the individuals under arrest.
The defendants showed their con
tempt for the court proceedings by
singing radical songs as they were
led from the courtroom.
The men were placed under ar
rest during the radical drive that
followed the Centralia massacre.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Tammany
is opposed to the manner in which
the administration is conducting its
campaign against radicalism in this
country. The Government, in the
opinion of Tammany leaders, is go
ing the wrong way about it to cor
rect the evil.
Instead of making war on thi
Reds, the Tammany reformers woulc
conduct a campaign of education bj
speakers, literature and sermons a:
a means of stopping the spread o1
seditious sentiments. Steps are non
being taken by the organization, i!
is understood, to inaugurate such a
campaign.
