DO you regard labor organizations as In

Labor organizations. like Industrial COM

of their members Tho chief object Of
labor organizations is to maintain or put
mp the price Of their labor. and they do
not suggest any scheme whereby labor
may be reduced. 10 this extent. at least,
they differ from industrial combinations

form such combinations with each other

Neither Congress nor State Legislature
should interfere with the natural liberty
