tion believed that justice would win for
labor a notable victory. and the records
proclaim that It's confidence was rot
misplaced.
'sThe defeat OF the American Railway
Union involved questions OF law. con-
stitution and government. which. all
things considered. are without a parai-
lei In court or governmental proceed
ings under the constitution Of the re-
public"
Continuing. the speaker said, refer
ring 10 the famous supreme court de-
ctsion.
II challenge the world 70 assign a
reason why Judge. under the solemn
obligation Of an oath to obey the con-
stitution. should. in a temple dedicated
TO justice. stab the magma charta OF
American liberty TO death in the Inter-
est OF corporations. that labor might be
disrobed OF It's snalienable rights. and

OF his prison life. and concluding. said.
From such reflections / turn tO the
practical lessons taught by this Iibera-
tion day demonstration Ii means that
American lovers Of liberty are settling
IN operation a force 10 rescue their con-
atitutional liberties from the grasp OF
monopoly and its mercenary hlreiinxs.
1t means that the people are aroused
In view OF impending peril, and that
agitation. organization and unlfication
are TO be the future battle cries OF men
who will not part with their BIRTH
rights. and who. like Patrick Henry
have the courage 10 exciaim; Give me
liberty or give me deathF.
HIS FUTURE OUTLINED.
The preilminaries have shown some
bitterness among the labor bodies.
Last month the Trade and Labor AS

pledges OF fidelity to trades unionfsm
Deha hanghtily replied that he would
not be buiidozed into any expression on
the subject
Here is how Debs outlines his future.

the A. r. e. Is rapidly growing. but the
Locomotive Firemen's Aagasine for
