Dental election OF that year. Winfield
brought TO Stump the first batch OF
the Archbold correspondence. and soon
after Stump began making visits To
the offices OF the Hearst newspapers.
Mr.. Gleason quotes Charles Stump as

that nothing came Of that letter.
Mr.. Archbold discovered the theft
early in 1905, and discharged Winfield
and Stump. They already had cleaned
up some $4,000. A small part Of this
they invested in Harlem saloon. The
rest they blew in on the races and in

IT has been a struggle TO get before
the people the dangerous facts, the
hidden underground facts, relating 10
the plans for control of the liberties
and affairs OF the common citizens by
the adroit managers OF the huge La
bor Trust" known as the American
Federation OF Labor.
These managers are seeking power
even superior to that or the President
of the United States.
Nonsense" someone says. Well,
let's have a look.
When l first started publishing these
articles discussing labor matters,
nearly the entire list Of papers pub
lished them. but there were a few
afraid to print them altho offered full
pay.
Afraid the labor leaders would boy.
colt them, afraid the unions in their
own printing department would strike
and afraid on general principles.
Here was a sample OF the "muzzled
press" the subtle enemy OF the com,
mon people.
Fair Union Men.
To the credit of the typographical
union let II be said the majority OF
Its members are too intelligent to re-
refuse TO set type on either side In
discussion OF principle, realizing
that the columns Of a newspaper must
be unhampered.
However In some ofilces less wis
dom was shown and the papers refus
ed to print the discussion.
In one article I invited readers To
scan the pages OF various papers OF
that date and II the announcement
failed to appear, write and ask the
publisher why"
His only good excuse would be mo
angry and began to offer various and
sundry other reasons. 1t became plain
to the enquirer that 1t was left out
through pitiable fear.
The discovery by readers that fav
orite newspaper feared TO print mat
ter written for and In the interest OF
the thirty-nine citizens out OF every
forty (only one union man In every
forty citizens) produced a disgust and
distrust hard to overcome. When the
