William P. Metcalf criticizes President Roosevelt’s public statement about Charles H. Moyer and Big Bill Haywood. Moyer and Haywood are being caught up in a drag net that has also caught their prosecutor, William Edgar Borah, yet in the latter case the administration has demanded an explanation from the district attorney who brought the indictment. The methods of the administration are unjust and unfair.
