HEADQUARTERS OF
UNEMPLOYED LEAGUE OF DETROIT
Sibley & Woodward Ave.

B. F. BOYLE
Chairman

A. C. CHRIST
Treas.

SOL BROMBERG
Fin. Sec.

Detroit, Mich. April 3 1915

To Gov. Wm. Spry

Salt Lake City, Utah.

We, the unemployed league
of Detroit, Mich., numbering 788 members send
an earnest and emphatic protest against
what we have reason to believe is to be
a judicial murder of Joe Hill on very
flimsy circumstancial evidence. It appears
to every working man and woman that he is to
be made a victim of the greed of the capitalistic
class. We petition you to stay the hands of those
paid executioners who are ready to spill more
innocent blood on the soil of that state,
already soaked with the blood of those innocent
victims at Mountain Meadow, who have since
been avenged; and that rude cross, with the
inscription "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
I will repay." need not again be raised
by the union labor sympathizers in this
country.

Respectfully Yours.
E. Ford Secretary.
