Trust League the political methods used
by the promoters of trusts in upbuilding

of Wall Street manipulators: the Attorney
General was severely criticised, and the
mayor and common council of Cleveland
were held responsible, for the turbulent
state of affairs in that city growing out
of the strike of the street car employees
Judge w. B. Fleming, of Kentucky, ad-
dressed the meeting, and in his remarks
pointed out the danger to the country of
trusts. From his statements he deduced
the conclusion that the people are Iaying
in the neighhorhood of 81, 000, 000, 900 each
year as tribute to the trusts.
Attorney George a. Groot, of Cleveland
was the next speaker, and in pointed
terms told something of the Cleveland
strike.
up where / come FROM said Mr..
Groot I'VE have on hand very healthy
strike, and it's going TO continue until
somebody gets hurt, and it's not going to
be the strikers. There are 500 men up
there who have been imposed upon until
they are willing to be imposed upon no
longer, and the men are going to hold out
until the fight is won.''
