NE OF THE most effective
arguments brought by labor
~ leaders against trusts is that
they are liable TO enforce
their supremacy by tyrannical meth
DDS such. for example, as crushing out
small competitors or demanding of
transportation companies preferential
rates by means of secret rebates. 1t
has also been claimed that trusts re-
strict the liberty of the retail dealer
by making war upon him if he dareS
10 handle goods not bearing the trust
label.
Is there not danger of labor unions
using and iustifying. when used by
themselves, the weapons which. when
used by others. they have bitterly con-
icmned? To make our meaning clear,
let us cite an instance
In certain city not Il thousand
miles from Scranton. two merchants
leased store rooms in a newly con-
structed building we'll situated for
their purpose. They did not learn. I'M
Ill after they had signed leases and
spent much money in fitting up their
stores. that the owner of the building
had had trouble with the labor unions.
The first knowledge they had of the
matter was through notice from Il
labor union that they had been boy
cotted for moving into a non-union
building.
Their trade is mainly with working
people. They have always been on
friendly terms with the labor unions.
Many Il time, during strikes, they
have extended liberal credit to strik-
crs, some times at considerable loss.
This apparently counted for nothing in
the present case. The boycott was de-
cided upon in star chamber fashion
and clapped on before its victims had
had any opportunity of defense. 1t
was an illustration OF tyranny as bold
and unadorned as was ever credited
against the most domineering trust.
and we are sorry to say that il is not
an exceptional case.
How long will American manhood
stand for such practices.

to the student of Oriental
politics than that of the statesman,
soldier and courtier who has passed
away amid the wreck and partial ruin
Of the kingdom whose destiny he has
during the past fifty years so largely

as engmatical to Occidental concep-
lions as the philosophic ideals OF his

he was rs conscious Of our ignorance

of events from the west as ii surged

sious and placations where the mere
