Taft and Labor.

When on the bench Judge Taft said:
That employees have right to form
labor unicns.
That such unions are benefit to IL
Dor and to the public.
That they have the right to join
with other unions.
That the accumulation of fund to
aid in strike Is right.
That employees have right to strike
whenever any of the terms Of their
employment are unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Gompers says Judge Taft is op-
posed to organized labor. Mr.. Com
pers has done lot of talking In his
time and has been very prolific writ
cr, but in all he has said or In all he
has written he has never given organ

Democratic parties have in times past
not hesitated to crush the hopes and
aspirations Of the wage workers with
an iron heel whenever and wherever 1t
suited their purpose to do so.
"And this In lieu of PROMISE .
chimericaI or ut best questionable anti
Injunction plank.
"Ante-election promises have ever
been looked upon with scorn by labor
leaders-unti now.
I'VE believe In political action of
the wage workers; we believe 1t to be
their only salvation.
I'VE do not believe in tho kind Of
politics that will boost party or par
ties to which we are indebted for all
Of labor's Ills, no matter what prom
ises' may be nude.
THE fifty, hundred or more years
Of experience had by organized labor
should preclude the possibility Of
turning the workers economic move
ment into an adjunct of political party
corruptionists.

for the day when labor will become
political unit.
1--WE long for party of, for and BY
the wage worker.
LET it be said that President Comp
ers meant well-but he erred"
Regarding Bryan and his speech Of
acceptance the views Of the following
prominent trade union leaders will BE-
| interested:
J. r. Pritchard, general secretary
of the International PAYERS and Ram
mers Union, said:
II consider Bryan's letter the weak
est document of its kind ever written.
1t is nonsense to assert that the Re-
publican party is responsible for the
publican administration the people
had seven years of prosperity. The
depression was due to natural causes,
and politics had nothing to do WITH it.
If Bryan is elected there will be
worse depression.
"Ihe Knights of Labor went to
pieces when they went into politics,
and Il like fate will befall the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor unless 1t re-
| iuSts " suppOll beLlOSIdtiC putty.
A labor union Is an industrial institu-
ton and should steer clear of poll
tics"
Edward Hourigan, Of District No. Is,
of the International Association Of Ma
chinists, said:
organs letter Is not radical enough
1t is so weak it will destroy much con-
tidence on the part of the working
people in the Democratic party. Bryan
has 10 longer ghost of Il show of be-
ing elected"
John A. Dyche, Of the International
Womcn's Garment Makers Union,
said
Bryan with his weak letter may
gain the support of many conservatives
but will ALLEVIATE the labor vote
President John Young, of the Ltho-
graphers' International Protective and
Beneficial Association of the United
States, said:
| Bryan has no show at all of beih4
elected. His letter of acceptance will
not cut much Ice with the working
people. l do not believe in his meth
DDS. The Republican and Democratic
parties are both lukcwarm when It
comes to aiding laboring classes
| The truth Is there are scores of
| trade union leaders VINO are absolute
ly opposed to Bryan and to the meth
DDS put into operation by President
Gompers to try to force trade union
lists to vote for Bryan, but these lead
ers just at present prefer. for obvious
reasons, to remain more or less silent.
| They can easily see the infinite harm
the policy of Samuel Gompers will do
the trade union cause.
