BALLOT BOX THE ONLY WAY OUT,

The average intelligent laboring
man in this country ought to realize
now that labor has about reached the
end of it's tether in it's struggle against
the encroachments of capital, in find
ing itself confronted with the late de-
cisions of the federal courts.
If these decisions are taken as prece.
dents-and they will be, as precedents
are the only things sought for to-day,
the methods heretofore adopted by
labor to enforce its rights must be-
come obsolete. The alternative is
presented-obey the law and respect
the courts, or answer to the charge of
multiplying the laws and contempt of
courts.
This brings the laboring man square
up against a stone wall that seems in
superable. What is he going to do
now? Has he really reached the end
of his tether? In one direction he GER
tainly has. The courts have practi-
cally said he shall not unite with his
fellow workmen to force his demands
by strikes and boycotts, but the
courts have not as vet reached
the point where they are
ready to say laboring men shall not
combine to enforce their demands
through the ballot box
Oh, no; the ballot box is left to you,
fellows, and through it is your way
out, and the only way out. too, and if
you do not avail yourselves of this
remedy soon this avenue of escape may
soon be closed.
Votes have placed the laboring peo-
pie where they are to-day, and many
of them have been the instruments of
their own enslavement in serving their
parties rather than their own inter-
ests, and votes only will relieve them
when properly coupled with intelli-
gence and a true sense of the situa-
ton.
Many good men and women have
tried for years to instill this idea into
the minds of the laboring people, and
who predicted years ago the very
things that confront labor to-day in
it's uneven struggle against capital.
Laboring men have voted themselves
where they are to-day and they must
vote themselves out.
