town starts to build a court house and
give work to it's citizens who spend their
money there but are not members Of the
labor trust; Immediately the trust demands
all the work and that It be taken away
from the antitrust citizens. A riot breaks
out and the labor trust seeks TO destroy
the court house and force the people to go
into their pockets and pay the losses.
The peace officers of the people. in their
pay, seek to preserve the peace and save
the property; immedis tely the unions PRO
test and exert every means in their
power TO prevent the officers from pro-
tectlng the people and their property.
This same policy crops out in every
effort of the community to protect itself
and the common people from the oppres-
sion Of the labor trust. The leaders OPP
pose the police, oppose the militia, the
courts laws, manual training schools,
education OF apprentices and every other
act or movement that benefits the people
but curbs the lawless license and stays
the oppressive hand OF that trust.
