MEAN TYRANNY.

The agitation about the Weekly Pay
ment Bill in Albany has developed one
thing, which is pretty despicable.
Naturally the employees of large organi'
xitions are very much interested in the
success Of this bill. which is in their be.
half and that Of all %workingmen. Many
of these large companies sent representa-
tiyes to Albany to express the views OF
the .workmen.
When they presented themselves there
they found spoilers " from the com
panies. who were waiting to zee what
they would do. They could not afford TO
lose their positions and take the bread
out of the mouths of their children; and,
knowing they would be discharged if
they yentured to speak in support of the
bill. they Withdrew. =
This really has had a good effect. The
tyranny Of gagring the workmen by so
mean . measure as this has aroused the
public People feel that the workman
should be PROTECTED against such slave
masters rs these. There is no doubt but
Ahat public opinion is for the bill. Natu,
rally, a. the sense of justice is common
one in men.
