aver be the result Of . single-handed en-

The spirit of that agreement Is against

Capital, alone, shall have the right to

unions enable workmen to become con-
tracing parties with their employers; but
if these trades unions can thus be sup
pressed, employers will no longer contract
Without dictate terms to-their work
men, just as they would 80 many slaves.
Fortunately, however, for the dupes

borers, as to become unfaithful to all for
mer pledges, BY signing away their birth
right for less than the old price, mess
Of pottage" trainers of that so-cslled
agreement have overshot the mark in their
eagerness to make it one-sided enough to
suit their selfish ideas. Forfeitures are not
favored by the law, and there need be no
hesitancy in saying that no competent
court of law, in this State, would ever de-
clare forfeiture of the money due to any
workmen for wages, on the terms of the
instrument above set forth, it being, as
before stated, in derogation Of civil rights,
and against public policy. Believing that
sufficient has been said to cause a recon
sideration Of the thoughtless perhaps

liberties, have thus proved faithless to the
cause of labor, remain yours,
