LABOUR IN AMERICA.

Serious Position. Press Association. —Copyright. London, June 10. The New York correspondent of the Times quotes the words of the leaders of organised labour affirming that if Moyer, Haywood and Pettboue, the officials of the Miners’ Pedoratiou, were convicted it would be through an unfair trial. They add that the whole affair is a put-up job and a low-down murderous attack by unscrupulous capitalists against workers. The cablegram declares that the situation is one of great gravity and full of menace as no one can foresee the result if the prisoners are sentenced to death. New York, June 10.

Orchard’s evidence was unshaken under two days’ cross-examination. He confessed other crimes, including arson, and shooting a detective named Gregory at instigation from the Federation leaders.
