tect the people against the bigSest
and most hurtful trust we nave.
The authorities forget there ate
about thirty million workers III t"is
country and only ABOUT 100000 mem
bers of the Labor Trust and tnat n.1ss
OF them are coerced into memDelsn.p'
How can the authorities answer 10
fhe vast army OF rs million tree Work
ers. farmers and househoiders whose
a fairs are from time 10 time inter
fered with and who have TO bear tAe
loss of wages and the seAeral hcaN
loss OF stopped industries ufou5hI
about by the leaders Of the LABOR
Trust in their manipulation oil men
seeking to drive them into tee-paylhs
slavery?
The $4,000. 900 workers, not mem
bers of the trust, object To Deins
driven from work. or having X. Il.
trains STOPPED with all the iaT-reaCh.
ing losses or the street cars stopped
and men and women prevented rom
getting TO and from work, or tactofie
struck and perhaps destroyed, the
weekly payroll stopped and the ShS
tenauce of at least part and perhaps
ALI of a community Withdrawn.
The great Philadelphia street cal
strike was forced by the big LaDo,
Trust. not on account OF wages ahu
hours but to throw out about iVV'
men who had their own union. peace
able one.
These men did not want TO pay tees
n the trust leaders and be subject tt
their whims so they formed ther Nv
union for self-pTotection. lheIeupoI
the big trust called a strike Uiew VI
and burned cars, attacked anu slausht
cred men, kept people from getting I,
and from work. forced their othei
slaves 10 quit work and cost the peo
ple OF Phila. several million doiiar'
and untold suffering and inconyehi
ence solely for the purpose or sho"
ing" them the power OF the Lapol
TT1,st to force" people TO mind hn'
force these independent men TO JOLT
the trust. obey" and pay fees TO th'
leaders. l.
THAT is a serious state OF affairs II
this free country and Is enough .
awaken every American 10 the ne
cessjty of curbing such men In thSI,
insane race for notoriety, power ah'
gathering.
Citizens want industry, commerce
and wages To continue without lh.el
terence from any set OF men eIthci
EMPLOYERS or employees who seek SCI
dsb gain 10 themselves alone, withCu
raqaTd 70 how much all tho people out
eide the trust may be inconvenience
and damaged.
The trust leaders, to make stronger
their control of members, nght Va
nentIy 20 be allowed TO boycott am
ronsnIre to ruin all free citizens elthei
employers or workmen VINO 40 h"I pa!
fees 10 the trust leaders.
therefore when this S2OO,OOO.OO ap
nrouriation bill came M they deluse'
congress with demands to eNeinp
,n,nhinations of labor from proseSu
tom n they broke the law and. start
ling as Il may seem. over huli ''.L :,
Cnngressmen voted TO so cXemp
chem. In other words, voted 10 peruli
ono set OF men TO break the law an.
dominate the great majority oi ''e'
IONS while the majority must h'si
the law ard submit TO the danIasc
losses. iEsolence and idleness pa,
rpou them Nv the comparatively SINAI
band Of trust members.
"NVhy were these congressman co"
,,te - Won ask. Because the trusj
managers sent word To their local man
pscrs In all parts uf the country la
yfr,,tirg them 20 fi~e In Letters and
teIeyrams 20 congressman whenever

The great mass of citizens who are
IN no tyrannized over have no organ
