TOOK A RAP AT THE UNIONS
Particularly at the Attempt to Prescribe
NOn-Union Labor.

The court took n hard zap ut the
unions for trying to compel the kel-
loeg company to sign an ironclad con
tract not to employ a non-union work
man. In fact, Judge HOldom went so
far as to say that the company would
have committed an illegal act in sign
ing such an agreement, lnasmuch as
it meant fragrant discrimination
against a class of citizens. They
1.-THE uniOnsl have no right to COM
pei by force persons who have their
capital invested, who are citizens of
the same country and entitled to the
protection of the same laws. to submit
to dictation with which they are not
in harmony" said the court in this
connection. land if this complainant
had entered into that contract with
the union il would have been unlaw-
full; ii would have been unlawful dis
elimination against a class of citi-
Zens.
You might just as well say to an
employer of labor: You shall not only
employ no nOn-uniOn men, but you
must hire only men who belong to
the Greek church. You might as well
say that employers must employ only
those who have been educated along
certain lines or who have certain pedi-
grees. One is just as reasonable as
the other-or, rather, as unreasonable
as the other"
Recurring to the picketing, Judge
Holdom gave his reasons for declar-
ing this custom as practiced around
the kellogg plant to beunlawful. which
were that the system undoubtedly in
timidated others.
The streets leading from the Kellogg
company's plant to the freight houses

er freight We're scenes of riot all day.
Although the teamSters and the freight
handlers are "out" because the team
sters would not go on a sympathetic
strike, and the freight handlers strike
is practically at an end. the teamsters
are doing all they can individually
to prevent Kellogg company product
from reaching the freight houses. They
form blockades in the streets and in
every conceivable way make it difficult
to move the stuff. Late in the day
the police fired thirty shots over the
heads of the rioters to disperse them,
and many rioters and teamsters were
arrested

BILE Chicago has known in many years.
The war-like campaign conducted by
the strikers to win the contest, in
volving numerous assaults. riots and
other unlawful demonstrations, has
compelled the Kellogg company to ap-
peal again and again to the courts for
protection against the trades union
lists. Arrests almost without number
have been made and sentences of fines
and Imprisonment have been given for
contempt of court, assault, etc.

as to impress the word well upon my

now on one syllable, then on the other,
