Trust members on other human beings
who cannot agree with the trust
methods.
Now for the better way.
Workingmen are now organizing in
the old fashioned trades union or guild
way, affiliated with the National Trades
and Workers Association whose consti-
tuition provides arbitration OF differen-
ces with agreement for no strikes, boy
colt, picketing or hateful coercion of
any kind.
This trade Association has evolved
from the experience of the past and is
the present day.
Under its laws it is not possible for
the Hod Carriers Union or the Street
Sweepers Union to order the school
teachers or locomotive engineers to
quit work in a sympathetic strike"
If any craft finds injustice, the case
is presented to properly selected arbi-
traitors, testimony taken and the case
presented to the public through the
press. Thereupon public opinion, that
greatest Of all powers, makes itself
felt and curiOusly enough a fair settle
ment is generally the result.
There is no strike, no loss of wages,
no loss to the community and yet the
faithful workers get their just treat
ment
There are many details which have
been worked out by men skilled in labor
matters
1t Will recompcnSe any interested man
70 know these details which can be Sc
cured by a postal request for constitu-
ton and bylaws written to the Ma
tional Trades and Workers Association.

Reader, look carefully into this great
question Of the relations of Capital and
Labor and its successful solution. The
nav plan works and brings results for
the members.
1 became so favorably impressed
with the trustworthiness and practical
bility of the leaders Of this new labor
movement that 1 gave the Association
sanitCrium at Battle Creek worth $780,
COO and with about 500 rooms, to be
used as home for their old members
ard the helpless babies, sometimes
made fatherless by the pistol, club or
boot heel of some member of the vio-
lent Labor Trust"
Suppose you attend church Labor Sun
day and hear what your minister has to
say in defence of the safety and rights
of the common, everyday man.
Let me ask you to read again a por-
ton of one of my public articles printed
a few years ago:
The people of the world have given
me money enough to spend in these
talks through the papers in trying to
make better and safer conditions for
the common people, whether the Postum
business runs or not.
Scores of letters have come TO me
from work-peOple and others, some
from union men. recounting their suf-
ferings from union domination and urg-
ing that their cases be laid before the
public.
It will not answer for US TO only SYM
pathize with the poor, the oppressed,
those who haven't power enough to
drive off tyrants and resent oppression,
We must help them tie the hands of the
oppressors. Americans must act
Some of my forebears in New Eng
land left comfortable homes, took with
them the old flint locks, slept on the
ground in rain and frost; hungry, foot
sore, and half clothed they grimiy push
ed on where the Eternal God of Human
Liberty urged them. They wove for me
and for you mantle of freedom. woven
in a loom where the shuttles were can
non balls and bullets and where swords
were used to pick out the tangles in
the yarn.
These old. sturdy grandads of ours
stood by that loom until the mantle was
then, stained with their life
blood it was handed down to US Shall I
refuse to bear it on my shoulders be-
cause the wearing costs me a few dol
lars and are you towards enough TO
hide yours because some foreign labor
union anarchist orders you to strip it
off?
I have faith that the blood of 1776
still coursing in your veins will Jingle
and call until you waken. Then Ameri-
cans will Act" There's a Reason"
