erless children of the poor workman murdered in cold blood because he obeyed the instincts of an almighty Father. who impelled him to seek work to feed his little ones? What play is ever made by them to sway a jury? The murderer is supported by the funds of the Labor Trust. The orphans of the victim have no money to help them obtain justice.
 Impudent Pretense.
 The Labor Trust leaders proclaim peaceful intent and publicly decry violence. Such bare faced assertions as that of the president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor that or ganized Labor is one of the most potent factors for the preservation of peace" is only interesting as in il- lutsratlOn of the extreme impotence of these leaders with a most terri ble record of criminal procedure be- hind them. It lately became public that this Trust expended upwards of SI5O, ,OOOOO to defend its members in the Haywood Mover trial, securing acquital by a frightened jury, not withstanding the fact that the judge WIO UTGSlutu dL lllt IT lll dllliDuAANEAA afterward that the testimony impli- eating the members Of the Labor Trust in the deeds of violence was in his opinion true.
 The Labor Trust shouts for the public ear, and winks in another di- rection while it finds it necessary to rush to the support of its criminal members, in order to keep up the work"
 Without certainty of protection the slugger would quickly become dis couraged The victim of the Labor Trust dare not publicly protest even if he lives through the entertainment by the entertainment committee, and the wives. widows and children have no way to bring their wrongs to the public ear The poOrhouse may take care of some and the streets of some. but suffering. terror and agony put upon the children. wives and wid- ows of independent workingmen is known only to themselves and their God and no one seems to have the humanity or bravery to speak in their defense.
 Thousands of individual members of OfEdilLtu ldbOl nave lAtti4 L1 eA1 tGAl der as can be found in all human nature but they seem pOwerless in the iron grasp of impudent and des- pcrate tyrants who hold them bound and who extort from them not only money but "obedience" and bring re- proach on the very name of Labor.
 Honest Union Men Helpless.
 Let an honest union man raise his voice in protest at a union meeting and the men of violent tendencies cry him down with shouts to throw dat guy out de window and if he don't shut up he may expect to be violently and effectively shut up. Some day let us hope that organized labor will get rid of the present lead CTS and conduct the sale of its pro duct Oabor) in the peaceful legal manner of business men who sell the ordinary products of humanity, and when they cannot sell their labor at a satisfactory price to one man, do as the farmer does who offers his wheat to another buyer and either sells it at the highest price the mar ket will warrant or keeps it for a higher market. but does not picket the mill assault other farmers who prefer to sell their wheat, or blow up the mill whose owner cannot at that time buy at the price asked.
 The man who has saved money with which to purchase wheat or labor should not be maimed. murdered or his property destroyed because he does not feel like parting with that money to buy wheat or labor when he either does not want it or knows the price to be too high to warrantits pur- chase. Any attempt at coercion should be promptly and effectually punished by the courts and the bull lies put where they cannot again tyrannize over independent Americans.
 This rapid growth of anarchy and evident purpose of the Labor Trust tO dictate just what persons shall be employed, how long and at what price and how much pay to the managers has taught every man who has saved a dollar and wants to build a house or establish a factory, that he had better keep his money in some safe investment, instead of going into something where he would be actually forced to buy labor when not needed and to employ men he don't want.
 In other words. the man who has a little money to invest don't propose to have any trust. even the Labor Trust, tell him how or where to pay it out This widespread attack of the Labor Trust on citizens who would have money to invest in labor if allowed to invest peaceably, has been one of the strongest elements which brought on the panic.
 Men who have money to build, don't like to be harassed to death by continued impudent interference, and expensive delays by labor union tan gles, therefore hundreds of them don't build. So with proposed new factO- ries and other enterprises.
 Between the loud mOuthed political demagogues and the Labor Trust leaders, the steady attacks on indus tries dried them up and the panic came bringing idleness and misery to thousands.
 The demand by the Labor Trust leaders for an anti injunction law is quite in keeping with the purposes of the tyrannous leaders. A careful in vestigatiOn of the records of all fed eral courts for the past years dis closes the fact that only 20 injunc- tions have issued in labor disputes and not in one of these cases has the superior court reversed or failed to approve. No other subject handled by our courts has been as free from
