Impudent Pretense.
The Labor Trust leaders proclaim
peaceful intent and publicly decry yio-
lence. Such bare faced assertions as
that Of the President OF the American
Federation Of Labor that Organized
Labor Is one Of the most potent fac
tors for the preservation Of peace" Is
only interesting a. In illustration OF
the extreme impudence OF these lead

Thousands Of individual members OF
organized labor have hearts az tender
as can be found In all human nature
but they seem powerless In the iron
grasp OF impudent and desperate ty-
rants who hold them bound and who
extort from them not only money but
obedience" and bring reproach on
the very name Of labor.
Honest Union Men Helpless.

Of buainess men who sell the ordinary
products Of humanity. and when they
cannot sell their labor at q satisfuc-

does not feel like parting with that

either does not want IL or knows the
price to be too high to warrant its
purchase. Any attempt at coercion
should be promptly and effectually
punished by the courts and the bullies
put where they cannot again tyran-
nize over independent Americans.
This rapid growth of anarchy and
evident purpose OF the Labor Trust TO
dictate just what persons shall be
tcmpioyed. how long and at what price
and how much pay to the managers
has taught every man who has saved
a dollar and wants to build house
or establish factory. that he had bet.

vestment, instead of going into some
thing, where he would be actually
forced to buy labor when not needed
and to employ men he don't want.
In other words, the man who has
little money 70 invest don't propose
to have any trust. even the Labor
Trust. tell him how or where TO pay

Labor Trust on citizens who would
have money to invest In labor IL al.
lowed to invest peaceabiy, has been
one of the strongest elements which
brought on the panic.
Men who have money to build, don't
like TO be harrassed to death by COLI
tinued impudent Interference, and ex-
pensive delays by labor union tangles
therefore hundreds of them don't build

other enterprises.

demagogues and the Labor Trust lead.
ers: the steady attacks on industries
dried them up and the panic came
bringing idleness and misery to thous-
ands.
The demand by the Labor Trust
leaders for an anti-injunction law, is
quite in keeping with the purposes OF
the tyrannous leaders A careful In
yestigstion OF the records OF all Fed
eral courts for the past 5 years dis
closes the fact that only 20 injunc-
tions have issued In labor disputes
aud In not one of these cases has the
superior court reversed or failed TO
approve. No other subject handled by
our courts has been as free from mis-
take. Humanity In prone to weakness
and error. and our courts are human.
