...your issue of May 28 in an article on the death of Wilham D. Haywood, you refer to the I. W. W. men convicted of violating war laws and say that most of them are still in Leavenworth prison. We are glad to state that every one of them has long since been released by pardon of the President and that there are not now any federal political or industrial prisoners...
...disturbed, but not discouraged. Down, but not out. We accept the challenge. . . . Expenditure will be kept inside revenue, no matter what the decrease in revenue may be."

Wholehearted surrender to the Will of God is a fundamental principle of this group...
...statement obfuscated the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad did not vote the majority Wabash shares which jt recently bought (with Lehigh Valley stock) from Leonor Fresnel Loree's Delaware & Hudson for $63,000,000 cash. Nor did it refer to Mr. Williams recent resignation from the D. & H.'s vice-presidency and board of managers. Nor did it mention Mr. Stair's other business affiliations...
