The Republican managers too

This discovery on the part of
those who are backing Injunction
Judge Taft Tor the Presidency and
who thought they could safely
make bedtellowS Of the outfit that
has been grinding down the wage
carners, accounts FOR the eleventh
hour anxiety and solicitation for
Labor recently manifested at
Washington.
1t accounts also for the Strcnu-
Gus efforts being made to induce
labor leaders to desert the cause on
the eve Of election.
Those who, rendered confident
by many vic' cries and relying
upon the power Of corporation
pelt, insolently Iepudiated Labor
only few short weeks ago, now
seek on Bonded knee, and by de-
ception, subtcrfuge and bribery to
lirc Labor to their support and to
its own destruction.

Alwasy Opposed Labor.

The bethlehem Steel Company
has ways opposed organized labor
and the organization Of its en-.
ployes. The result is that the
conditions prevailing at the plant
are very bad 50 far as the men are
concerned.
"Ihc company has employees
who receive Il little extra pay for
acting as spies and informing the
company whenever there is any
movement among the men to
organize. These spies furnish the
company with the names OF the men
who are supposed to be leaders in
the movement and these men are
promptly discharged.
several times i'll tho last fifteen
years the men have organized only
to be discharged one by one until
every union man in the plant is
disposed Of.
AS soon as the hired spies found
out that q man carried Il union
card. the fact was reported to the
company and the Union man was
discharged
1.-The companNiS orders are that
no union man shall be allowed on
the premises.
''AppealS have been made many
times to til" directing owners Of
the company including George Il.
Sheldon. for better treatment for
the men employed. but these APP
pealS usually were followed by the
discharge Of men concerned in the

This is the record OF only one of
