(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZIALAND OAILB ASSOCIATION.)
NEW YORK, 4th July.
■A message from ; . Marion says that what are interpreted as condemnations of the Herrin outrages have been expressed by President Harding and General Perching in speeches delivered there during the oelebration of the centenary of the foundation of the city. . i
; Pr«aid«nt Harding said that a free American has the right to labour without the leave of others. It would be no less than an abridgement to deny men the right to bargain collectively. Governments could not tolerate any class or group domination through force. It would be a sorry day. when group domination was reflected in our laws.
General Pershing said that when the whole communities openly sympathised with the ruthless murder of inoffensive -people in the exercise of their right to earn a livelihood, and when wholesale murder went unpunished, it was imperative, that public opinion should demand that the strong arm of the law be put under fearless officials, who would take positive action. . ,
