Next Move.

Discovering that the people object to being
attacked and having their property destroyed.
the Labor Trust members conclude their next
step should be to elect members OF the Legsla-
lures and Congress who will change old laws
and make new ones, that the Labor Trust
may safely carry the work and not be pun
ished. Hence the demand that they be exempt
from the trust laws and that the hands OF our
courts be tied so no injunction can be issued to
prevent them from picketing, boycotting. slug
ging or blowing up property.
We were treated to u good illustration OF how
trusts work together when some chiefs Of the

Every one agrees that combinations Of capital
or labor in the formation Of trusts are legal and
produce an uncertain amount Of good.
The Oil trust greatly improved the quality OF
oil and sells 1t at about onehaf the price 1t was

trust have given several million dollars for

and that Is from the pocket Of the common citi-

We all admit that both trusts are right enough
in trying to earn all they can but the citizens
they are feeding on absolutely must keep awake
and protect themselves ut the polls and before
the courts or the trust members get fatter and
the common citizen thinner. The non-trust cti-
Gems are heavily in the majority and protect
themselves easily when reused. but they often
allow designing men to manipulate politicians
and laws until the common people are helpless.
Why do you speak OF the Labor Trust?'' some
one asks.
1t has been clearly defined as trust in the
fullest sense Of the word by the best lawyers
in America, including Clarence barrow, the Attor-
ney for the American Federation Of Labor, and by
the United States Supreme Court itself.
You see all trusts are formed to accomplish
certain things.
Control production. Control prices.
Control members Of the trust.

The Meat trust controls and sells meat. the
Labor Trust controls and sells labor. both feed
