When a small clique of men put up scheme to harness the clergy or America and induce the ministers to. in turn hitch up" the members Of the churches. we should all take notice
 They couldn't harness the preach CTS in a bad cause except by de- ceiving them.
 Ministers of the gospel are essen tiaIly and fundamentally honest but. like all men who work for the public good. they are at times misled by false statements.
 Trust them when they have eX- act truth to speak from.
 Now for the story which should interest every one for we are all either receivers of wages or we pay to wage earnerss and the freedom of each individual is at issue.
 In various papers the following statement has been printed Read II carefully at least twice.
 "INTEREST IN LABOR SUNDAY.
 Labor Sunday-the Sunday pre- ceding Labor day-will be observed generally this year and in future years throughout the United States. This because of the American Feder- ation of Labor declaration for the observance of that day. The numer- ous letters recently received at Amer ican Federation of Labor headquar- ters from ministers is an Assurance that interest in the idea of giving special attention to the cause Of labor from the pulpit one day in the twelve months is widespread. our readers are urged to try to bring about an understanding in their re- spective districts with representa- tives of the church sO that ministers will make addresses that may attract trade uniOnists to the churches in large numbers for the day. Ministers should say what they think on the oc- casion in order that their trade union hearers may put the right estimate as to where the church stands on the question of the organization Of la bor. The more the subject is dis cussed the better will it be for labor. Union ethics are sound.-American Federationist.'
 Observe that Labor Union" men are urged" to induce ministers to make addresses that will attract trade unionists to the churches for the day. Ministers should say" etc, and winds up with Union ethics are sound;" observe the hidden threat.
 This is clipped from the American Federationist the organ of Sam Com pers, ct al
 This clipping has been sent to pa = pers throughout the country and the Typographical Union men in the newspaper offices instructed to urge l that it be printed.
 That is one of the ways of the ma chine"
 It looks harmless so the papers print it.
 But! Let's lift the cover and look under.
 The hidden motive is as dangerous | to the peace and liberty of the citi- zen as a coiled rattlesnake in the grass.
 Organization by wOrkmen to peace fully and successfully present theil side is necessary and most commend able.
 There are such organizations now rapidly winning their way to public l | or killing fellow workmen. (Some facts on this matter little further along in this article)
 We see here demand on the min isters of God that they endorse ano help build up the strike producing boycotting and violent American Fed eration of Labor.
 Think of the man of God who teaches brotherly love being covertly ordered to praise and help get new members for an organization with 6 record for violence. crime and murder done by it's members the like oi which the world has never seen. | Think of the thousands of womer made widows and the increasing thouSands of children left fatherless | by the pistol club. dynamite and boot heel of members of this Labor Trust
 Any one who recalls the countless murders done in the multitude of strikes in the past few years will agree this is no exaggeration.
 Take just one as an illustrations: :. There were some thirty men mur- dered and over 5000 bruised and maimed in the Chicago teamsters
