The events on the programme for to-
days sessions were overshadowed nv tho
announcement that in the evening Col

Tor an address, We're not present when
Chairman Howe called their names, and
John W. Hayes, secretary of the Knights
or Labor, was requested to deliver his
address. In part he said:
i maintain that these great combina
tlons are an assault upon the inherent
ana constitutional rights of citizens. that
the real and vital advantage to be gained
is the despotic control over labor Vio-
lence is not the only means of making
conquests and enslaving people and it
can be proven beyond any question that
the methods of the trusts are the meth
DDS of the invader and the ends to he
accomplished by instigators of trusts are
exactly those intended to be accomplish
eu ny the arrangements directed by a
military genius. Taking this view of the
trust which / hold is the correct one. I
assert boldly that they are the enemies
of society and as such should be de-
stroyed as any common enemy and the
financial phase of the question should not
come into the subject for considerable
as the liberties of the people are far
above the mere question of money"
