GIVES HANNA 4 SCORING.
Chicago Manufactures Accuses Him Of
Being . Dema gogue On Union Labor.

Being . Dema gogue On Union Labor.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 2o-Eiliot Durand.
vice-presldent Of the Heath 4 Milligan
Manufacturing Company OF Chicago and a
member OF the National Manufacturers
Association. has addressed an open letter
to the public through President Parry In
which he declares that senator Hanna has
put himself in position to be fairly called
a demagogue He refers TO the address
Of Mr. Parry on union labor In reply TO
Mr.. Hanna as having been Endorsed by
the National Manufacturer Association
and strengthened by statements Of per-
sonal experiences by a score or more Of
the largest employers Of labor in America.
Mr.. Hanna is accused Of gross ignorance
when he said that he did not know Of any
intimidation used to force men into the
unions. Mr.. Durand adds: III he would
get a little nearer his employees and the
real laboring men he might spare himself
the humiliation Of confessng his ignorance
Of truth that every employer OF labor
knows
In conclusion Mr.. Durand asked II unions
are such q good thing, Why 10 1t that all
workmen do not belong to them instead
Of only one-ffth? He says that the Man
ufacturers' Association has no fight against
American labor. The question Is, Does
the workman care to belong to a union,
and II he does not, the association pro-
poses that he shall not be forced to join
against his will.
