UNION MEN MUST GO.
T. R. Morgan, Sr., Has No Use
For Them in His Shops.
The Alliance Disciple of McKin-
ley and Carnegie
DISCHARGES TWENTY MEN WHO JOINED
THE NoULpeRs' UNION,

They aie Turned Out Without Notice
and the Would be Congressman says
He wnl Run His Shop to Suit Himself
Regardless OF Labor Unions.
On Thursday of this week twenty men
were discharged without notice, from tne
shops of Republican Congressional canul'
date, L. X. Morgan, ST., of Alliance
lhe mere tact of a score OF men being
laid off from work might not necessarily
in Itself have mucd weight were IL nOt Tor
some other circumstances IN the case
which appear to throw some light on
the matter and have a tendency TO SHOW
lust what the attitude of the would De
NJ, C.. is toward union labor. And yet
without these circumstances it might be
we'll for Nc. Morgan to arise and
explain why ii is mat with tue
country's great prosperity as related
by his preceptor, Governor Mckinley,
and with 50 much of that glorious protec-
ton to the laborer, tn laborer Is yet
turned out of doors TO seek work elsewhere
or starve.
Rpt the reason for tho discharge OF these
workman becomes ~ cloar when the
facts III the case are known. One OF the
discharged workmen sums UP the sliua.
ton in the following stateLnent: "On the
goth OF July the Iron Moulders Union oi
In the Morgan engineering Company
Works at Alliance and there was nothing
said abut IL until phurBday, when. with
out notice. he (Mr. Morgan, Sr.,) SAID thai
he woul not need US any longer. He said
taat he was running his works and did moi
want iauor organic ttion to run IT,"
The above statsTne made by one oi
the men who was "laid oil" shows
very clearly tue attitude OF Candidate
Morgan toward the organized labor force
of tue country. At thu same time IL also
shows tnat shrewdnes3 that ~ character
istic of the m)uopolis,s in dealing with
their men and Turing them on to theiE
ruin. Mark now! Mr. Morgan says
nothing when the organization of laborers
is formed. No indeed, tnat would show
at once that he is entirely hostile to
organized labor. But be mas more
subtle and effective way of Kidding his
shops Of the organization. The report L
started from the office that work Is slHcS
and that some men will have to be laid
off and now the laying oil" commences
aud off come the heads OF nearly every
man who has joined the labor union.
This ia an cid dodge aud has worked
like a charm in great many instances
bvt with the record MorRau has made IL
the past for opposing union
labor, il will hardly pass mustei
at tins stage of the proceedings. II strikes
upon lIl6 ANtThkf itllLl as a NGlS Sbo'H
thing that work should suddenly become
80 slack in a grand protected industry
Immediately following the orRanizatloa
of the lahorers into a union and that in d
score of discharged msu, with but one or
two exceptions, all are ms mDsrs OF Ihe
new labor uniou.
The record iy complate. Nothing is
needed to demonstrate beyond the shadow
of a doubt TO any man who has a thimble-
ful Of brains that Thomas Il. Morgan, Sr.,
is foe of uuion labor. Another fact that
tends to shed some light on the matter ID
that great part of Mr.. Moryau's Uork
comes through the influence of Andr"w
Carnegie, the great Homestead mill
monopolist, and in view of tho attitude
of Mr.. Carnegie toward union labor and
of the bond OF 1uinn between MIR. Morgan
and Mr.. Carnegie IL is evident at once 20
any logical mind why the former mas 40
use for union labnrer. The worhingmrn
in this district are beginning to get their
eyes open to the facts regarding Morgan's
attitude toward them aud they Will be
heard from in November.
