Don't Weep At
 The Ice House.

Some people swell up on emotion brewed from absolute untruth.
 It's an old trick of the leaders o the Labor Trust 10 twist facts ana make the sympathetic ones" .weer at the ice house" Chats part of ths tale further on)
 Gompers ct al sheer at, spit upot and defy our courts. seeking sympa thy by falsely telling the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press.
 Men can speak freely and prin, opinions freely in this country and no court will object. but they can not be allowed to print matter as part of criminal conspiracy to in- jure and ruin other citizens.
 Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co. drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked. had been invested there.
 The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious trust methods. (efforts to break the firm that went come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such destructive and tyrannous acts as they may desire to do The reason Gompers and his band per- sisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when de union" ordered them discharged and some of de gang put in.
 Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look.
 Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union. and. demand being refused, should institute a boycott against the union. publish its name in an unfair list" instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union. have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the mer- chants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home. blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted un- ion to teach them that they must obey the orders of organized capi- tai"
 It would certainly he fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them.
 In such a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men. Sup pose thereupon the company should sheer at the court, and in open de fiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan. pIrposely intended to ruin the union and force it's members into poverty. What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts pro tect them and punish their law breaking oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the peoples courts could defend them
 How could any of us receive pro- lection from law breakers unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men.
 The court is placed in position where it must do one thing or the other-punish men who persist n defying its peace orders or go out of service, let anarchy reign and the more powerful destroy the weaker.
 Peaceable citizens sustain the courts as. their defenders. whereas thieves, forgers, burglars. crooks Of all kinds and violent members of labor unions, hate them and threat en violence if their members are punished for breaking the law. They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand pun ishment for other men outside de union" when they break the law. Notice the above reference is to violent members of labor un- ions. The great majority of the ''un- heard" union men are peaceable, up right citizens. The noisy. violent ones get into office and the leaders of the rent, which would place him in the light of a martyr to the cause of un-
