Who Pays the Freight?

Who, and with what class of people are the electric cars on every line In this district laden from to 9 o'clock in the morning, and from to o'clock at night And who fills the vaults of this corpora ton on labor days, show days and dur ing the summer months? If these under class' people were able to own vehicles or automobiles, who would pay the freight? Yet, a prominent official of this company (and l suppose member of the Citizens Alliance) can spend almost one whole day in trying to convert some prominent business man and friend to the underclass against his best interests to his way of thinking.
 These "underclass" people spend hun dreds of dollars every year for hall rent. printing. etc., and yet, real estate and job printing establishments are actively engaged in fighting them.
 , There is no perfect labor organization. by any means And where is the church. society or institution that has attained perfection2 Differences have existed with them and individuals, wrongs have been perpetrated on communities, business men have been annoyed, and the indis- erect actions have been taken in very few cases. But, in order to get redress for their grievances, some few individuals and the Citizens Alliance have resorted to means far more damaging to them- selves and the community at large.
 The statement has been made by re- liable man, who is in a position to know, that the Citizens Alliance proposes to take one organization after another and rid the community of labor unions, and then fill the places of these toilers with a better element. This statement is horne out by the fact that an attack has already been made on the Clerks asso- ciation; and as a member of the Alli- ance would put it, by trying to beguile a prominent business man into this al- liance, "let them strike; we will take care of you and reimburse you for every dollar you lose." Should they succeed in tbis undertaking, what has been gained? The men who take the places will soon become members of labor organization. for in the language of an eminent divine. n,hiia snealjng to a vast concourse of 1abor-day paraders in the city of New yorl, said: "The great guiding hand of tbe Iahor movement is divine, and it will prevail"
 ,rbe constitution, all the writings and oo,ions of the Citizens Alliance furnishes n1entv of proof that their fight is for tha extermination of these underclass, bread-earning toilers. and some of our merchant friends have found 1t out; and when the final test is made a legion of friends both in and out of labor ranks ,,ill rise in their might. and the unholy ,,,,rnose of the Citizens Alliance, o. where will it be?

zens' Alliance would have the public be- lieve, organized labor is composed of men of good standing and moral worth, and, leaving out their shortcomings and over doings, it is a great blessing to any com munity in more ways than one. Tn the first place, l make the assertion that the good wages received and the great vol ume of money kept in circulation for the last four years by these noble sons Of toil who, l dare say are so liberal as to spend all their earnings on every pay day, is more than any other one thing responsible for the continued growth and prosperity of the Birmingham district If any doubt remains, let's cut the wages half in two and see how quick the mer- chants will saueal and the number of small business houses that will go to the wall. Let us suppose you cut in half the wages of the laborers in this district Where would the half so taken be dis tributed? Among the merchants. shop keepers, and others engaged in trades cent; but 1t would go to swell the dvi- dends of the shareholders of the corpor- ations who reside in other states of for eign Jurisdiction rendering thereby in- vestments in business here less profitable and bringing grinding poverty and dis tress to those who only create wealth. And, yet some of these merchants are fighting the clerks (but they need have no fears that organized labor will stand by the clerl). and some of them are try ing to vote themselves into the Citizens Alliance.

the assertion that. 'the speaker is the
servant, not the MASTER We shall
see whether the new speaker lives up
to his assertion. The last two speak
ers, with the aid of Il committee OH

er is Il member. exercised an auto
cratic rule over the house. The House
of Representatives has ceased to be Il
deliherative body. The great Majority
of the members have practically little
to do with legislation. Debate has
been cut off to such an extent that
the little debate which is allowed
serves but to emphasize the fact that
the representatives of the people in the
American House of Commons are al
most wholly deprived of the right of
free speech in that body. The present
rules We're adopted under the plea
that they were necessary for the trans
action of business. The practical re-
suit of the rules has been to place the
power of the house in the hands of the
speaker. He can force the passage of

progress. us he sees fit. We shall see
whether Mr.. Cannon will give back
to the House the powers which belong

him the opportunity of carrying out
