American working men were public

bryan Doe. Not Answer Questions.
"A number OF the most direct and
important questions on his attitude to-
ward labor's real interest have been
submitted to Bryan and so far he has
not condescended from his pedestal TO
offer definite reply. He has been
asked: Are you aware Of the fact that
since your nomination. and your in
dorsement by the executive officers of
the American Federation OF Labor, the
governor Of Alabama, one OF your
| friends and allies. has used his power
| TO crush the labor organizations in
that State. placing troops at the dis
| posa of the mine owners. and will
| you. now that the matter has been thus
| brought to your attention, publicly re-
pudlate and condemn Governor Co
mer's hostility to organized labor? This
| is by all means most vital question
| TO every trade unionist in the country
who intends TO vote next November.
The following questions have also
| been submitted to him:
lis it not a fact that at the present
| time. in the State of Mississippi. in
the city OF vicksburg. to be exact, the
members of the unions concerned with
the river shipping are on strike. and
| that the Democratic administration of
| that city is trying to break the strike
hty la
| ers who refuse to "scab" to the chain
| gangT
Assuming that you are ignorant Of
these facts at present. will you not, as
leader OF the Democratic party. make
immediate inquiries upon the matter,
and IL you find the facts to be as
stated, will you openly and unequivo-
| cally condemn the Democrats of Mis-
sissippi who are responsible for those
conditions and repudiata them?
Haskell the Union Buster.
lis 1t not fact that your intimate
friend, Ex-Governor Haskell, national
treasurer of the Democratic party
| (now resigned) was the first presi-
dent of the Muskogee Citizens Alliance.
a secret organization patterned after
the Citizens Alliances of Messrs.
Parry and Post, and existing for the
sole purpose OF opposing trades union
ism and boycotting union men, so that
every cent which a union or member of
Il union give to your campaign is sent
to one of the most notorious and big
oted union haters in America?
''Is 1t not fact that Mr.. Haskell,
as president of the Citizens Alliance Of
Muskogee, sent out over his own sig
nature a resolution calling upon men,
bers of the Business Mems Alliance
| (another union-hating association to
bind themselves ito discriminate
against any and all labor union men"
"to check the contemplate
fanaticism of trades unionism."
and to boycott all union men?
"'Is 1t not fact that the worst in
functions against organized labor over
issued by the courts OF this country
| have come, many Of them, from Dem
ocratic judges. such as Justice Free
mans injunction in 1900 against the
International Cigar Makers Union, en-
joining them from even approaching
their emplc vers to seek peaceable
settlement, and from publishing their
grievances Justice Bookstaver's in
junction against the members of the
International Typographical Union in
their strike against the New York
"Sun." enjoining them from publish
