advantages of our government the national
legislature has seen fit to specially foster
aud protect by public taxation the industry
of their mills, and the state of Pennsyl.
vania is to-day guarding it at great and
extraordinary expense.
Therefore the committee desires to eX-
press to the public us its firm belief that
both the public and the employees afore-
said have equitable rights and interests i'll
the said mill which cannot be modified or
diverted without due process of law; that
the employees have the right TO continuous
employment in the said mill during eff.
cheney and good behavior without regard
to religious, political or economic opinions
and associations; that ii is against public
policy and suoyersive of the fundamental
principles of American liberty that whole
community of workers should be denied
employment or suffer any other social
detriment on account of membership in n
church, a political party or a trades union;
that it is our duty as American citizens to
resist by every legal and ordinary means
| the unconstitutional anarchic and revolu-
| tionary policy of the Carnegie company,
which seems to eynce contempt of pub
| lie and private interests and a disdain of
| the public conscience by its refusal to sub
| init to lawful arbitration and by the law
less importation of band of armed mer-
| cenaries to forcibly deprive the employees
| of their equitable rights in advance Of any
/ legal adjudication thereupon and without
previous appeal to the lawful forces of
Allegheny county and the state of Penn
sylvania.
| The committee wish it known that we
will prosecute the said public and private
| interests in the courts of law and equity,
and that we demand of Congress and the
state legislatures distinct assertion of the
principle that the public has an interest in
that the state has a duty to judge the af-
fairs of such concerns when occasion may
require,
FINALLY, we desire to state emphatically
as defenders of and petitioners for law and
order that we pledge ourselves to refrain
from violence and lawlessness, and that
we rest our cause, which is the peoples
cause, the cause of American liberty,
against anarchy OH the one hand and
despotism on the other, with the courts,
the legislature and the public conscience"
