hurtful trust we have.
The authorities forget there are
about thirty million workers in this
country and only about 100000 mem
bers of the Labor Trust and that most
How can the authorities answer to
the vast army of IS million free work
erS farmers and householders whose
affairs are from time to time inter
ferred with and who have to bear the
loss of wages and the general heavy
loss 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,0OO,00O workers, not members
of the trust, object to being driven
from work or having r. r. trains stop
ped with all the far-reaching losses,
or the street cars stopped and men and
women prevented from getting TO and
from work, or factories struck and
1 perhaps destroyed, the weekly pay roll
stopped and the sustenance Of at least
part and perhaps all of a 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withdrawn.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

These men did not want to pay fees
! 10 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, attackedsand slaUght-
, cred men, kept people from getting
| to and from work, forced their other
| slaves to quit work and cost the people

untold suffering and inconvienence
solely for the purpose of showing
them the power of the Labor Trust &c
| force" people 10 mind" and force
these Independent men to Join the
trust, obey and pay fees TO the lead
| ers.
That is a serious state Of affairs il
this free country and is enough tc
! awaken every American to the nee
esity of curbing such men in theil
insane race for notOriety, power and
fee gathering.
Citizens want industry, commerce
! and wages to continue without inter
! ference from any set of men either
| employers or employees who seek self
! ish gain to themselves alone withou
regard to how much ell the people out
side the trust may be inconvienced and
! damaged
The trust leaders, to make stronger
their control of members, fight valiant
Iy to be allowed TO boycott and cOnspirt
10 ruin all free citizens either employ
ers or workmen who do not pay fee
to the trust leaders.
Therefore when this $200,0OO.O0 ap
preparation bill came up they deluge'
Congress with demands to exempt com
binations of labor from prosecution /
they broke the law and, startling as
may seem, over a hundred Congresmel
voted to so exempt them. In othe
words voted to permit one set of me-
10 break the law and dominate tn
great majority of citizens, while tn
/ majority must keep the law and sub
nit 10 the damage, losses, insolenc
and idleness put upon them by tn
comparatively small band of trust mem
bers.
..Why were these Congressman COW
! ards?" you ask Because the truS
} managers sent word to their local man

, structing them to fire in letters an
kilograms to Congressman whenever
. bill to give the trust more power 1
introduced
The great mass of citizens who ar
Z to be tyrannized over have no organ
ization to warn them to notify Con
gressmen of their wishes and so tn
, heavy fire comes from but one sid
