Hanging of the Anarchists Condemned.
St. Louis, March 7.
The national association of bankers today approved the action of Union League of Chicago in their energetic opposition to the efforts of the anarchistic element to destroy the Union in attempting to estrange the Union from the National Association because the latter opposed anarchistic ideas. A resolution immediately following this was adopted strongly condemning the hanging of the anarchists and denominating it as a judicial murder, and pledging the association to assist the families of the murdered and imprisoned men. In explaining these contradictory resolutions, an officer said the association opposed the principles of anarchy, but believed there was no legal proof that the convicted men had committed the crime of murder.
