When the slump came the growers took the
firm stand that IL they could not get fair

KEEP HANDS OFF, EMPLOYERS!
CHAIRMAN MACK SAYS THEY
MUSTN'T GEORGE VOTERS.
Democrats Have Special Fund of
$4,000 to Punish Attempts at
This Sort Of Bribery.

NEW YORK, October 3-Norman e.
Mack. chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee. said today before leav-
5000 had been appropriated and set
aside for the purpose of Furnishing any
person or corporation that endeavors to
coerce employees in the national election.
Special counsel will be retained to con-
duct prosecutions, Mr.. Mack said.
Mr.. Mack explained that numerous
complaints had been received by the ma
tional committee from employees through
out the country that they had been
threatened with dismissal il they per-
sisted in support of the democratic ticket
Mr.. Mack continued:
This is attempt at bribery and is pun
ishabie such. Threats Of dismissal or
to reduce wages OF employees If they vote
for Mr. Bryan or promises OF higher
wage If they vote for Mr.. Taft, are plain
bribery. We are not afraid of the effect
of such tactics in their election because
the American laboring man can neither
be bribed nor scared into submission to
the will of his master in a matter as
sacred as the $ballOt but / think 1t is
the duty of this committee to protect
the American workingman from such
methods.
1T is not advisable at the present time
to give the names of these employees.
That would be an Injustice to them But
the names OF every guilty employer will
be published and full publicity given to
his case both before and after election.
The. slip In the pay envelope q few days
before election advising how to vote. will
not be permitted this year as in former
campaigns.
