How these men as strike leaders love to see their names in the papers each morning., It's meat and bread to their souls.
 Then think of the lordly power. and don't forget the steady flow of money sdueezed from the workmans hard earned pay envelope.
 But when these leaders 'tie up any industry no man can hold a Job who refuses to pay fines even on trumped up charges, and steadily pay fees whatever they are
 The workman is absolutely at the mercy of this band of men who have secured and hold control.
 Many and many an honest workman has raised his voice and appealed to his fellows to rise and throw off the yoke of Gompers, ct al. But, as one writes. At every convention of the American Federation of Labor, strong opposition comes up but at the critical moment the impassioned orator appears and most dramatically puts the spot light on the leader and covers him with d maWkish film of 'martrydom' and the emotional delegates yell in de- light. forgetting the instructions of the peaceful workingmen at home who de- sire to free themselves from the Odium Of membership under the great advo- cates of strike, boycott, violence and hate"
 So We see the unequalled msolence with which these trust leaders propose to induce" ministers to pull their chestnuts from the fire by preaching modern aggressive and violent labor trust methods.
 There is d better way to secure just ice for workers, as will appear further along.
 Just a little diversion here. I am charged with having first brought to the attention of the public same years ago, the name Labor | Trust"
 A trust is a combination of men or organizations for the purpose of sell | ing their product at a profit and re- stricting production to effect it. | We will say a large oil Company gathers in smaller ones and thus con | trols production.
 ] The Labor Trust gathers in" loca trade organizations and thus has pow CT to say how much work each mar | shall do.
 The oil Company then fixes prices The Labor Trust does likewise.
 The oil Company may use methods to force the unwilling dealer to join.
 The Labor Trust men go further anC 1 slug the independent man If he trle' to sell his labor without paying fees and "obeying orders" They are botf | exactly alike in purpose, which, in boti cases is entirely selfish to gain power | and money for the leaders. | Certain Labor Trust members do nOt hesitate to use violence, dynamiting o property, burning homes of independent i men and even murder to force obedi-
 ence.
 The Oil Company doesn't go so far
 Both are extremely dangerous to thu welfare of people and communities, tol power placed in the hands of few men either representing Capital or La bor is almost always abused and th' | public suffers. 1 Remember reader that your safetN I lies in strenuous opposition to al | trusts which try to ride over and die I tate to the people.
 Only by opposing their growth car | you retain your personal liberty.
 Now to ministers. | The average congregation is made III
 of about 90 per cent of free citizens and much less than 10 per cent o | members of the Labor Trust | The free citizen wants to hear words II defending the rights and independence | of the common man. free from the ar bitrary dictates of any self-seekinE organization either of Capital or La bor
 The merchant, lawyer, school teach CT. doctor, clerk, farmer and workman rebels against any forcible stopping o trains. boats, street cars, or factories for the prosperity of the community is entirely dependent on steady con tinuance of these things. | Men don't like strikes. boycCtts, in jured workmen or burned cars anC | factories.
 | A famous divine says: "These mel may hate capitalists but their hate fol other laboring men burns like flame eats like nitric acid. is malignant be | yond all description" ] Then we remember cases of acit
