or act except by contribution to and with consent of the trust? Human liberty and constitutional rights of an American citizen are denied them It got so bad people were afraid to open ly protest against the tyrannies be- cause of the "black hand style of far reaching acts that made life misery or wiped out the individual altogether.
 Then it dawned on some of us that the people-the 7S0 out of every S00-- were not members of the labor trust but really had to bear the oppression of the minority and be ruled by them. There are only about 20 union members in every 800 citizens. But the com pact organization of the few made it possible for the labor trust in many cases, to force their tyranny on the unorganIzed majority. The next nat uraS thought was organize the people for their own protection.
 That was an inspired thought.
 So to put it into practical operation big convention in Chicago two years ago formed the Citizens Industrial As sociation of America It progressed slowly for however badly hurt, people do not quickly understand practical re- forms. But one after another towns organized Associations for protection and found they got it. In July, this year, the National Association head quarters was moved to New York and the work has been growing rapidly. Many more organizers are needed that the operations be rapidly extended. But any town or city can set up a good practical Association by some one man who has the interest of his town at heart, calling a few property owners together Elect temporary officers, send to the National Association for constitution, bylaws and detailed in structions, then have a larger meeting and permanently organize. Select a good working official who can interest others and build up the Association. The cost is practically nothing if the active man will give his time, although it has been found best to pay saiaried man who will do things Every mer- chant becomes interested because he prospers best when the factories are soing. Every clerk. doctor. lawyer, manufacturer, teamsters and indepen- dent workman likewise. Even the thrifty, Iaw-abiding union men will help in enforcing Industrial peace and maintaining the law if they can be as- sured freedom from union punishment, and the Citizens Association can in a practical way insure that. How do we prevent strikes2
 Each local Citizens Association Is thoroughly in earnest in demanding that no strikes occur, but all differ ences be placed before the local '.In- dustrial Jury" made up of equal nam bers of workmen and employers. The

 Debate In the Council.

The Jackson franchise ordinance guaranteeing substantial revenues to the city in exchange for privileges was put into use last night by the Mont ,oxmery City Council when that body voted two separate franchises to the Montgomery Street Railway for which bids had been received.
 Besides receiving the percentage of net profits that may be made on the line, the city will receive the sum of ss,5OO in cash for the franchise to build a single track on Jefferson Davis Ave nue from South Court Street west to Holt Street The other privilege granted was for building a single track on BalnbrIdge Street from Washington Street to Alabama Street on Alabama Street from Bainbridge Street east to Union street and on Union Street from Alabama Street south to the city limits.
 There were several conditions pre- .cedent imposed on the street car com pany which will have to be agreed on before the franchise goes over.
 While in the case of the Bainbridge Street franchise there was no cash bid submitted 1t was provided that exten- siye improvements shall be made by inc company in laying its tracks. In this way 1t Is calculated much benefit will he derived from the owners of property abutting on the proposed route of the new line. In the first place, inc railway company will be forced to nave Bainbridge Street with vitrified hrick from the southside of Washing ion Street to the southsIde of Adams Street.
 Furthermore the company at its own exnense will have to grade and gravel psinbridge Street from the south side oS Adams Street to the south side of AIahama street and do the same for Aiabama street from Bsinbridge to TTnion streets and widen to sixty feet eiI oS TTnion Street from Alabama to G-ova streets. In the course of this woyk the company will also be required to construct an iron bridge across Ganstta ditch suficient for accomodat- tnss trsfac and persons.
 So connection between this line and INA Iackson Street line is to be allowed ana sftsr the approval of the ordinance C. ,s nroviaed that work shall begin within elk months

 Alderman Roemer, who was the chief opponent to the original ordinance which was vetoed by Acting Mayor Mcintyre, took the floor against the substitute. He argued that grading which the city would be compelled to do on adjacent streets, would cost 2I,- 900. He further argued that country wagon trafic over Jefferson Davis Ave- nue would be entirely cut off and deter Into the city. He cited how Mobile Street was ruined as an avenue for country trafiic by the car tracks and appealed to hts fellow members not to inJure the farmers for the sake of corporation.
 Alderman Jackson took the floor in support of the substitute ordinance. He believed that Alderman ROemer had SSured the cost for the grading work too high. He believed that 1t would not cost more than $1,000.
 My figures are signed by D. W. Ford" interrupted Alderman Roemer.
 The Alderman from Four Is incon- sistent." replied Alderman Jackson. One minute he hounts the figures of tho City Engineer. the next he holds them as authority. When they suit hum, he endorses them. When they don't he declares fney are padded"
 Alderman Jackson continued to say that 90 per cent of the people along tho line wanted the car tracks and that largely interested him fin the pas sage of the ordinance.
 Alderman Roemer declared that many people who signed the petition lived nearer Mildred Street than Jefferson Davis Avenue, and some who had signed 1t wanted their names off the petition.
 Alderman Strauss said that he would I nave opposed the ordinance had 1t l provided that the line run out to oak 1 Street but as the substitute provides | hat the line run only to Holt Street. | Ie did not think that country trade l would be interfeFed with.

 The actual operation is worth more than a hay wagon full or theories step by step the conditions were met ana the problems solved. The labor unions assumed the form of trusts for the sale of labor. They seek better er-conditions for workmen, but are generally man aged by men for personal money-get- ting and these men hold their power by forcing up wages as high as the public will stand. That in a way is right enough. but the methods are op- pressive.
 They use persuasion, threats, intim- tdation, assaults, violence and various means to force workmen to join the trust for large membership means power and large incomes to the ma nipulators. Then when these trusts became powerful enough the common neopie were treated to a most extra ordinary display of oppression and tyranny
 Industries have been stopped caus- ing loss of literally hundreds of mil lions of dollars to owners, workpeople and the community. Property has been burned blown up and wrecked In oth- CT ways.
