 Clergyrnen

When a small clique of men put up scheme to harness the clergy of Amer ica and induce the ministers to. in turn "hitch-up" the members of the churches, we should all take notice.
 They couldn't harness the preachers in bad cause except by sdeeeiving them.
 Ministers of the gospel are essen tfaIy and Fundamentally honest but, like all men who work for the public good. they are at times mislead by false statements.
 Trust them when they have exact truth to speak from.
 Now for the story which should in- terest every one for we are all either receivers of wages or we pay to wage earners and the freedom of each in dividual is at issue.
 In various papers the following statement has been printed Read it carefully at least twice.
 ~iNTEREST IN LABOR SUNDAY
 Labor Sunday-the Sunday preced- ing Labor Day-will be observed gen erally this year and in future years throughout the United States. This because of the American Federation of Labor declaration for the observance of that day. The numerous letters re- gently received at American Fedora tion of Labor headquarters from minis ters 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 wide spread Our readers are urged to try to bring about an understanding in their respective districts with repre- sentatives of the church so that min isters will make addresses that may attract trade unionists to the churches in large numbers for the day. Minis Jers should say what they think on the occasion in order that their trade un-. ion hearers may put the right estimate as to where the church stands on the question of the organization of labor. The more the subject Is discussed the better will it be for labor Union eth ics are sound.-AmeTicdn FederGfioHist."
 Observe that Labor Union" men ''are urged to induce ministers to unionists to the churches for the day" Ministers should say etc, and winds up with Union ethics are soupd;" observe the hidden threat.
 This is clipped from the Americdn FcderGfiorist, the organ of Sam Com pers, ct al.
 This clipping has been sent to papers throughout the country and the Typo graphical Union men in the newspaper officers instructed to urge" that it be printed.
 That is one of the ways of the ma china
 It looks harmless so the papers print
 Butt Let's lift the cover and look under
 The hidden motive is as dangerous to the peace and liberty of the citizen as coiled rattlesnake in the gra ss
 Organization by workmen to peace fully and successfully present their side is necessary and most commendable.
 There are such organizations now rapidly winning their way to public confidence without strikes, dynamite or killing fellow workmen. (Some facts on this matter little further along in this article.) We see here a demand on the minis ters of God that they endorse and help build up the strike producing, boycott ting and violent American Federation of Labor.
 Think of the man of God who teaches brotherly love being eovertly ordered To praise dnd help get new members Tor aI4 organization with 6 record for violence. crime and murder done by it's members rhe like Of which tfis world has never seen. Think or the thousands of women made widows and the increasing thou sands 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 ein the multitude of strikes in the past few years will agree this is no exagg sration.
