FURIES MAY BE LOOSED
WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE

The decision Of the Federal
court of the District of Columbia
in the Gompers- Mitchell Morrison
case and the comment. thereon has
brought to light many important
documents among the most i'm
portant Of which are excerpts
from a speech delivered by Judge
Seymour D. Thompson in an ad-,
dress delivered to- the State Bar
Association in Texas in 1896.
Judge Thompson was an emf
nent jurist and at one time was
judge Of the court of appeals of
Missouri, and later for many
years, was editor Of the American
Law Review. He concluded his
address with the following warn
ing: "# -.
There is danger, real danger,
that the people will see at one
sweeping glance that all the pow
ers Of their government, federal
and state, lie at the feet Of us law
yers; that is to say, at the feet
Of a judicial oligarchy; that those
powers are being steadily exer-
cised in behalf Of the wealthy and
powerful classes, and to the pre-
jndice Of the scattered and segre-
gated people; that the power
thus seized includes the power Of
experimenting the action not
merely Of congress, but also Of the
state legislatures the power Of
sup erintending the judiciary Of
the states, Of annulling their
judgments and commanding them
what judgments to render; the
power OF denying to congress the
power to raise revenue by q meth
Cd employed BY all governments !;
making the fund entail sover-
eign powers Of g yernment, such
as the power Of 7taxation, the sub
I ject of barter betwe ZEN corrupt

with agreements as to reduced
wages for the coming period Of
active business; secondly, the ef-
forts Of the employers association
to paralyze the entire trade union
movement by number Of regu-
lations contained in the agree
ments have been defeated along
the whole line; and, finally, the
lockout policy Of the employers
organization received SO great a
shock that it can. not soon regain
it's former Importance. The Swed-
ish fighters showed unexpected
courage and perseverance, and
few hesitated to make the great
personal sacrifices demanded by
the emergency.
What the employers have main
ly learned is the ruinous cost to
them Of a general lockout; what
the workers Of the nation have
learned is that on the whole they
are little worse, off than before
the heartless~ lockout, and that
through a perfected: organization,
with funds in their treasures,
they may at the fitting time chal-
lenge the employers to renewal
of the struggle in: case defense Of
their right to unite is necessary.
Meantime, our American trade
unionists have still an opportunity
to extend aid to the $4,000 Swed-
ish brothers out Of work.

SWEDISH STRIKE WAS
LESSON TO EMPLOYERS

The lockout and strike in Swed.

still out of work, according to the
weekly report of the Information
al Transport Workers Fedora,
'tlon.' Three points Of great value
are reported as won by the work
ing class fighters Of that country
en- masse, no matter whether or
not the employers trumpet a vic.
tory.
First, the trade unionists Of the
original conflicts are not tied up

are to be set aside, and federal
court injunctions substituted
therefor; that those injunctions
extend to preventing laboring
men from quitting: their employ
ment, although they are liable to
be discharged by their employers
at any time thus creating and
perpetuating a state Of slavery.
There is danger that the people
will see things all at once; see
their enrobed judges doing their
thinking on the side Of the rich
and powerful; see them look with
solemn cynicism upon the suffer
ings of the masses, nor heed the
earthquake when it begins to rock
beneath their feet; see them pre-
sent spectacle not unlike that Of
Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
There is danger that the people
will see all this at one sudden
glance, and that the furies will
then break loose and that all hell
will ride on their wings.'

WARNING A. YEAR OLD
IS AGAIN REPEATED

40 x21xaA4N 4SAAA @43A L 6A>
The bosses are trying to tie the
men to their jobs. They are try
ing to do it by contracts, by ju-
dicial decisions, by selling them
houses and by selling them stocks.
We warn the workers of Amer
lea against these subtle efforts to
tie the hands and cripple the pow
err of organized labor.
Read the following written by
Robert Hunter ~ and. printed
February last, in the light Of tho
proposed steel strike.
"The good people have a new
idea. They are as delighted with
it as a child with new toy.
Wherever I go I hear them chort-
ling about it.
"The Civic Federation is fran
tic over it, and Morgan's men
and Harriman's men, and their
lawyers and clergymen talk every
where about it as one Of the great
discoveries of the age.
1T appears a solution has been
found for the class struggle, and
the solution is profit sharing.
f'Andrew Carnegie believes in
it; thought about it late.
IN. E. Ingalls,, chairman of the
Big Four railroad, is sure that
profit sharing is the only solution
Of the problem of capital and la
Dor.
George W. Perkins, of the
United States Steel Trust, de-
clares that profit sharing will put
an end to all war between capital
and labor.
*'The idea is to allow working
men to buy shares of stock. When
they become stockholders, they
will rob themselves with one hand
and dividend themselves with the
other.
GAS stock holders, they will be
in favor of putting wages down,
of extending hours and Of break
ing up unions.
"They will want to pile up divi-
dends, and in order to pile up
dividends they will declare war on
labor agitators.
incidentally, they will learn to
believe in big dividends. They
will have no objections to the
Standard Oil making eighty-four
per cent a year on it's capital
stock. On the contrary, they will
begin to hope for 200 per cent, so
that every dollar that works will
earn two dollars a year. Y
1T is bright scheme, and
ought to help in the campaign of
breaking up the unions and i'm
poverishing the workers.
"It ought to help also in the
campaign against Socialism, be-
cause the more men there are who
can own stock, the more men
there will be to fight for capital
against labor.
I'VE recently had a fearful ex.
pose Of conditions in Homestead
and Pittsburg. The total disre.
gard for life, the driving, agoniz-
ing toll of twelve hours a day, in
the most exhausting work in the
world, the low wage, the despair
4 ing, hopeless workers, the lack of
II unity and fraternity among them
are all evidences Of the power of
the Steel Trust. r. -
But the Steel Trust shares
profits with these poor victims Of
/ toll. Many Of them have share
or two Of stock. Some Of them
get as much as five orsten dollars

WHY KILL THE BfLL7
Asks Rev. w. E. Braisted About the Lo-
cal Option Suffrage Of Women.

Asks Rev. w. f. Braisted About the Lo-
cal Option Suffrage of Women.
Editor Barre Daily Times: Will you,
in the interests OF simple fairness, for
every question has two sides, permit a
word as to that 'Bill to be killed, whose
death sentence you pronounced yester
dayg And why "to be killed" please
Has the bill been proved guilty OF muir
der or treason2 Perhaps it might be
guilty of killing Of the liquor business
and even disloyalty to the control OF
the liquor interests. But even that has
not been proved.
But now, suppose the legislators were
really awake, and not large majority
of them asleep, as you insinuate. OF
course any man, even an editor or a
preacher. has an unquestiohed privilege
to wake the legislators up; but, really,
suppose they were only thinking very
hard when you thought them asleep
Suppose they were thinking of their
own children and the peril to them of
any form of the legalized liquor bush
nessg Suppose they were thinking Of
the official reports that more than IS
per cent. of the crime; more than So per
cent Of the poverty, and more than So
per cent. of the insanity as reported by
Carol d. Wright for the legislature Of
Massachusetts, were directly due to the
liquor businessg And, suppose, again,
that our Legislators felt that if the
wives and mothers, who love them and
their darlings. wanted to help wipe out
the "destroyers" OF love, aud life, and
home, and honor, they ought to have a
right to do so Just suppose they were
awake, and were actuated by noble,
/ high impulses
Now. Mr. Editor. why not give the
public the one and sole reason why kill
the bill"G The liquor interests dare
I not trust their accurscd business for one
minute in the hands-the ballot-of the
wives and mothers, united with the
growing number Of fathers and husbands
4 who are awakening to the fact that
Il here is a business producing no good,
and a great deal Of positive harm.
Our legislators represent many op-
posing forces. And here's to them. the
fervent PRAYER that the God of wisdom
and power viii give each one to see the
+ light in the interests Of the largest mum.
