PRIESTS ATTACKS TRUST.

Rev. Father O'Brien of Toledo, O.,
delivered an address in that city on
June 9Th which created a genuine SEN
sation. Hus subject was, "The An
archy Of Wealth." He said:
Il cannot shut my eyes to the dan
gers that threaten our republic. The
greatest danger that I can see now is
the anarchy of wealth. The Union was
saved and slavery abolished by an
army of poor men from the generals
down to the privates. Now we see the
wealth of the country in the hands of
few men who never risked their lives
for the flag: The agricultural and min
eral resources of our magnificent coun-
try have been cornered by a few men
with money, and every bite of meat we
take is doubly taxed by the beef trust.
If our government is ever changed
pire, it will be done by the men of
wealth, not by poor workingmen. In
pagan times the man who would COR
ner provisions to raise the price of liv-
ing for the poor would be put to death.
That was good, natural pagan justice.
The millionaires who have cornered
our provisions and raised their price
on the working people deserve the
same fate.
Veterans, let us pray that God pre-
serve the work that the Grand Army
has done, but it our officials and legis-
lators do not relieve us from the un-
just an dunlawful burdens imposed on
US by the trusts the time may come
x,,;11 14 IN %olx h.
law into our own hands and demand
our rights at the point Of the bayonet.
The American workingmen are patient
but will not submit to the tyranny of
wealth forever.
May God avert for us the horrors OF
war, and may the white-winged angel
of peace continue to hover over our
beloved land"

Gets Dividend on Labor Day Net
Receipts.
The Building Trades Council met on
Monday evening at the Marine Engi-
neers' hall. There was fair attend
ance only as the meeting at the Ar
mory was a great attraction. The La
bor day committee made their final re-
port, showing that the profits were
greater than at any previous celebra-
ton, viz: $500. The. committee hand
ed over to the council one-third of the
profits. All except one who assisted in
providing for the enjoyment of the
picnic were paid good wages as the
committee could not get members to
give their services, otherwise the pro-
fits would have been much larger.
Business of great importance will be
introduced at the next meeting.

The Rev. John Williams, rector of
St. Barnabas Episcopal church, one of
the leading and wealthiest congrega-
tions in Omaha, publishes an open let
ter in favor of unionism. He says:
'"The thoughtless cry from reckless
lips is often heard: Unionism must
go!' Why? Unionism is the basic
principle of all human life. The more
complex our civilization becomes the
more absolutely dependent we become
on unionism. ,.~......-~>.. .s,&...Sy

angry, passionate masses of men, who,
in the last analysis, are the creators

INDEPENDENT POLITICAL

The legislative committee Of the
Trades Assembly consisting of H. Per-
eault, H. Dworshack, A. V. johnson
and J. w. Richardson last night rec
commended that the circular requesting
the assembly to send representatives to
conference to form an Independent Po-
litical Party, be laid on the table.
The principal argument advanced
against taking part in a political party
was that it would cause enmity and
dissension in the assembly, weakening
the attendance and crippling the trade
union movement.

The trade unions, as have said, are
