viewing the Pullman trouble and the
course Of the American Railway Union.
Reid said to a World reporter: ''''

against unfair and inhuman treatment.
The time to make such protest has

railroad shop in Buffalo am on the

Lackawanna to the other railway man

! offended one of their number by re-
fusing to give up my manhood. The
railway managers. by means OF their
association, conspire TO prevent me from
working. at my trade and earning an
honest living.
That's all right. A number OF rail-
road men and other workingmen form a
union and try to get what is right and
that's called conspiracy, and the courts
and the Government are used to crush
them. The corporations, the capitalists,
have for years been pressing down their
heels on the workingmen underneath.

read as follows:

at this point, however. Debs was

Workman Sovereign was also an ardent

into Il leader, and the Pullman strike
