BRYAN Answers Van Cleave.

W. T. Bryan has issued statement replying to a
circular issued some weeks ago by the National Asso
citation of Manufacturers and signed by James w.
Van C1eave.
Mr. Bryan declares that the pamphlet of Mr. Van
Cleave raises questions First, is there anything
in the labor plank of the democratic platform to
which business justly take exception? and
second, is the labor question important to bust
ness men as to justify them in ignoring all other
issues?
Mr.. Bryan declares that the provision in the demo-
cratic platform for the creation of labor department
. with a cabinet officer at its head cannot possibly
offend business He then says:
"The platform draws a distinction between
Citations of wage earners organized for the purpose
of regulating wages and the Improvement of labor
conditions and industrial corporations which act in
restraint of trade.
"The difference between labor organization and
trust is apparent that disnterested person will
deny that they should be treated separately. To
class the two kinds of organizations together and
deal with them under one law is bound to do nJus-
tice to or the other.
Surely the business men can have no vital con-
Germ in including the labor organizations in the
antitrust laws"
Mr. Bryan then takes up the plank providing for
trial by jury in cases of Indirect contempt He in
ssts that this cannot raise question of vital concern
to business men, because every man has right to
jury trial He then says
can attempt will be made to raise false issue
IN regard to the courts and to make 1t appear that
the demand for trial by jury is assault upon the
integrity of the courts. Those who make this ar
gument might we'll insist the abolition of the
jury in all cases, for the jury system itself is just
much reflection upon the bench as is this demand
for trial by jury in these particular cases.
"But there is another labor plank that Mr.. Van
Cleave probably has in mind This is the plank that
declares that parties to all judiciary proceedings
should be treated with rigid impartiaity and that
an injunction would not lie if industrial dispute
involved. Do the business insist upon
Partially in judiciary proceedings? Do they insist
that the fact that there is industrial dis
pute should justify injunction? That plank does
not attempt to interfere with the issue of in
junction merely for the purpose of bringing the
court into the discussion of an industrial dispute
"Mr. Van Cleave asserts that this plank arouses
"a class spirit and demands for class favorsl
"But it is not true 1t is a declaration that
the writ of injunction should not be used for the
purpose of creating class favoring class. The
laboring resent any attempt to discriminate
against them in favor of any other class"
Mr.. Bryan in conclusion declares that Mr.. Van
C1eave does the business injustice in
ing that his working hours filled with fears of
the wage and that his nights rest is broken by
imaginary disputes with those who toll.

Railroad Discrimination.

1t looks so much like proven case that the West
Passenger association will hardly be able to rid
itself of the charge that it has affiliated itself with
the republican party positively that it cannot do
business in an unbiased way
Application was made to the association for
duced rates on the railroads for the Bryan notifca-
ton meeting at Lincoln the 18th inst and the
association refused to make any reduction.
By the Central Passenger association reduced rates
were given to the Taft notification meeting at Gin
cnnati The Western Passenger association and the
Central Passenger association represent practically
the railroad systems, being sectionaly divided
for convenience.
The excuse entered by the Western Passenger
socation along with its refusal to permit the asked
for reduction was that Nebraska had two-cent per
mile law The answer is that Ohio also has two
cent per mile law. So the excuse rendered was not
the reason for the course taken by the Western
Passenger association.
Chairman Mack of the national democratic
mttee says "the action of the railroads is simply
discrimination against the democratic party" Com
ing officially from the chairman of the committee,
this conclusion will be accepted and the public will
understand that the railroad corporations to re-
peat the methods of 1896 and 1900.
Discrimination between individual customers
brought plenty of trouble to railroad corporations
Discrimination between political parties is not free
from the element of danger. The party that is
Disseminated against may win the election.
