the people against the biggest and must hurtful trust We have
 The authorities forget there are about thirty million workers in this country and only about 1,700.000 mem bers of the Labor Trust and that most of them are coerced into membership.
 How can the authorities answer to the vast army of 2S million free work CTS. farmers and householdecs whose affairs are from time to time inter fered with and who have to bear the loss of wages and the general heavy losss of stopped industries brought about by the leaders of the Labor Trust in their manipulation of men seeking to drive them into fee-paying slavery?
 The 2S,OOO.OOO workers. not members of the trust, object to being driven from work. or having R. R. trains stopped with all the far-reaching losses. or the street cars stopped and men and women prevented from get ting to and from work, or factories struck and perhaps destroyed, the weekly pay roll stopped. and the sus- tenance of at least part and perhaps all of the community withdrawn.
 The great Philadelphia street car strike was forced by the big Labor Trust, not on account of wages and hours but to throw out about 1000 men who had their own union, a peaceable one
 These men did not want to pay fees to the trust leaders and be subject to their whims so they formed their own union for self protection. Thereupon the big trust called a strike, blew up and burned cars, attacked and slaught- cred men, kept people from getting to and from work, forced their other slaves to quit work and cost the people of Phil. several millions dollars and untold suffering and inconvenience solely for the purpose of showing" them the power of the Labor Trust to force" people to mind" and force these independent men to join the trust, "obey" and pay fees to the lead CTS
 That is a serious state of affairs in this free country and is enough to awaken every American to the necessi- ty of curbing such men in their insane race for notoriety, power and fee gathering.f
 Citizens want industry. commerce and wages to continue without inter ference from any set of men either em- ployers or employees who seek selfish gain to themselves alone, without re- gard to how much all the people out side the trust may be inconvenienced and damaged.
 The trust leaders, to make stronger their control of members, fight vali- antly to be allowed to boycott and con- spire to ruin all free citizens either or workmen who do not pay fees to the trust leaders.
 Therefore when this $200,00000 ap- propriation bill came up they deluged Congress with demands to exempt of labor from prosecu- tion if they broke the law, and startling as it may seem. over hundred Con- gressmen voted to so exempt them. In other words voted to permit one set of men to break the law and dominate the great majority of citizens, while the majority must keep the law and submit to the damage. losses. insolence and idleness put upon them by the comparatively small band of trust 
 Why were these Congressmen cow ards?" ask you. Because the trust sent word to their local in all parts of the country them to fire in letters and telegrams to Congressman whenever a bill to give the trust more power is in troduced.
 The great mass of citizens who are to be tyrannized over have no organi- Zation to warn them to notify Con gress of their wishes and so the heavy
