"A printed copy of these rules and reg

conspicuous place in each shop and round

The officers of this company will
establish all the rules that may be
necessary for the government of its
shops and the employees working
therein.
In general, it must be clearly ap-
parent to any one reading these rules,
that there has been organized in the
shops of this system, a body, or in
strumentality, for the purpose OF ex-
over the operation of said Shops
which cannot rightfully attach to any
one but the owners thereof. Not only
has it been sought to increase the
compensation of employees very ma
terially. by the modification, or intro
ducrion, OF certain practices and rules,
but it has also been sought TO estab-
lish an instrum entality for the purpose
Of securing concerted action. which
may be used to enforce demands that
are not entirely reasonable, or that
may, in fact. be very unreasonable. 1t
is sought, as has been pointed out. TO
esta blish a minimum wage rate, and
to mOnopOlize nearly every kind of

who may be alleged to have, learned

proposed to force this company to paw

performing il could properly be con-
sidered as fairly having earned, upon
the basis Of the wages that might pre-
vail at the time, but a rate OF pay an

voluntarily made substantial increases

To conclude, the officers Of this
