Dear Sir.

At a meeting, held on the above date

their sentiments in regard to Joseph Hillstrom,
Whereas: Joseph Hillstrom, convicted by the courts of Utah
and condemmed to die, and
Whereas: every man, according to the Constitution of the
United States, is entitled to a fair trial for his life and liberty,
and, Whereas: this right was refused in the case of Joseph Hillstrom,
Resolved: that we, the members of Metal Polishers, Local
Union No 12, request that you use your power to

necessary to prove his guilt or innocense in a legal manner.
